This image shows a 3D data set of Jefferson's library at Monticello. More than 100 million range samples were acquired with a DeltaSphere-3000 3D scene digitizer along with 1,000 color photos in two evenings during the summer of 2000. The 3D measurements are colored with data from the photos, and then the underlying model is simplified. At the top of the image, the colored model is shown. At the bottom, the color has been turned off, showing the simplified 3D model.

The technology used to capture 3D scans of the rooms at Monticello may also one day be applied in crime scene investigation, as demonstrated in this staged scenario. In addition to automating a laborious process, the technology would give crime scene reconstructions more realism and more veracity, since a human is not making the measurements. The researchers are collaborating with representatives from the Federal Bureau of Investigation and the Armed Forces Institute of Pathology.
