Using three-dimensional laser scanner system to measure the Turtle Mountain Han tomb and obtained the point cloud. To the noise points and large holes on the surface, this paper first present an approach that based on the basic principle of least-squares to eliminate the noise points.

We are interested in users learn, classify and recall spatial and attribute information about objects in a virtual environment which is highly interactive, but built with minimal detail. The Hao Tomb application represents spatial relationships between objects with two-dimensional images (billboards) which are embedded in a three-dimensional model. Information about these objects, (i.e. materia...
