Abstract Reverse engineering allows companies to create accurate, 3-D computer models using laser scanners to record the tiniest of details, saving old statues and monuments from the ravages of age and disaster. Two companies have combined their engineering talents to help document two famous sites: the Lincoln Memorial in Washington, D.C. and the Parthenon in Athens, Greece. The Lincoln Memorial project was sparked by fears that the country's historic monuments could become terrorist targets. In the case of the Parthenon, the return of the Olympic games has renewed interest in Greece as well as the structure itself. So, with techniques in hand, DDI and Spatial Integrated Systems, Inc. (SIS) (Rockville, MD) - a 3-D modeling and visualization company - demonstrated to American and Greek officials that advanced 3-D technology could help them in their efforts to protect and restore their buildings.
