Description
This service-learning work is part of a larger project consisting in laser scanning and producing virtual, three-dimensional, computer-based, detailed models of eight (8) historic barns in Bulloch County, GA. The resulting spatial models (point clouds) will assist in the historical preservation of these now delicate and aging structures. In particular, this authoring group of students is currently working and focusing on two of those eight barns: (i) Bonnie Dekle Howard's Barn, and (ii) Remer Dekle's Barn. Both barns are southwest of Statesboro, near Register, GA. After completion, the models will be donated to Dr. Brent W. Tharp who represents both, the Bulloch County Historical Society and the Georgia Southern Museum. This project gave our Civil Engineering and Construction team an opportunity to assist and serve our community in a service-learning format while understanding and learning state-of-the-art laser scanning techniques and their post-processing tasks.
