Scans of Stilt Houses in Tai O Village

Each of these data sets includes a point cloud file from a combined photogrammetric and LiDAR scan of a stilt house in Tai O Village. Data sets are available for download via Mendeley Data Archive upon completion of the embargo period, one year from the original upload time. Scans are separated by Case Number designations available in the full research project record on request. The digital download from this site is a PDF file of citations for 20 datasets. Dataset download locations are available using each datasets digital object identifier number (DOI).

Researchers collected the scan using a single, approximately 10 minute walk-through of the house with the Leica-brand BLK2Go model 3D environment scanner. The scan describes the interior and partial exterior of a stilt house in high detail and color. The scan has been decimated to a voxel size of 5 mm to reduce file size. The data provides clear enough rendering of the physical conditions of the house to allow interpretation of the scan into description of the house's construction, contents, and spatial use.

The data is available under embargo of one year to protect the personal information of residents of the house, provided for purposes of digital conservation of the building, and for interpretation of the house's physical conditions and interior contents through further research. More detailed information on the dataset, including the date the scan was conducted, the location of the house, and related interview and survey datasets are available upon reviewed request.
