Similarly, considering the scale of the rock outcrop, photogrammetric and laser scanner techniques are well-established techniques for representing geometrical features of rock masses, and the benefits of non-contact surveys in terms of safety and time consumption are acknowledged.
A preliminary investigation was performed on the historical phases of this monumental building to have a clear knowledge of its vicissitudes, and then in situ structural assessment included 3D laser scanner techniques probing radar, in situ stress measures.
Finally, we provide a short summary of some of the technical limitations of μCT imaging and discuss potential future developments in μCT-scanner techniques and experimental setups.
Some inspections have been performed to have a detailed survey of the pinnacles, using the Laser Scanner 3D technique and with the collaboration of geologist-mountain climbers; some rock specimens have also been taken to be analyzed and tested.
The use of Terrestrial Laser Scanner survey techniques, associated to Differential Global Position System determinations, permits to obtain new data for the assessment of tsunami impact on this coastal area.
Terrestrial Laser Scanner (TLS) techniques were used to perform accurate 3D reconstruction of the three biggest boulders located along the coastline of the Maddalena peninsula, whose accumulations have been ascribed to the impact of different large tsunami (Scicchitano et al., 2007).
Because of the accelerated technical improvement of real-time linear-phased array ultrasonic transducers and scanners, this technique has become the most common technology for (farm) animal body and carcass composition assessment (Starck et al., 2001; Mitchell and Scholz, 2009, Scholz and Baulain, 2009).
In order to accelerate the acquisition process in multiple-coil Magnetic Resonance scanners, parallel techniques were developed.
ρ ijk was determined from the CT using a scanner- and technique-specific linear lookup table based on electron density phantom scans.
Accordingly, after tumour and vascularity-dependent growth times tumours were evaluated and different levels of vascularity were quantifiable with clinical scanners and techniques.
