3D Examination of the Mona Lisa
Photographs and Images of the Project – Figure 3
Figure 3: The laser scanner is a non-contact optical measuring system that acquires successive 4 cm wide bands (as shown by the bluish line generated by a low power laser) across the surface of the painting.
A complete 3-D image is obtained by moving the laser scanner over the entire painting. Each band was subsequently merged by software to create a full 3-D digital model of the Mona Lisa.
