- 93. Landscape and cave •Structure from motion (at landscape scale using mikrokopter) •Phased based laser scanner (Leica HDS6200; data captured at c. 1mm accuracy but processed to c. 3mm accuracy to reduce mesh size) Individual carvings (Sub-millimetre meshes required for analysis of rock art) •Phased based laser scanner (c. 1mm Techniques
- 94. • Staged survey using all techniques • Basic data processing done on-site • Minor adjustments to the survey methodology to ensure the highest possible accuracy and data coverage • Follow-up visit to provide clarification and new data. Methodology
- 103. Interviews
- 134. • Surrounding landscape and cave recorded with two different techniques. • Individual carvings recorded with four different techniques; including two detailed meshes (SfM and SLS). • The advantage of multiple meshes is that any artefactual objects in the data (which could have been caused by tiny variations in the process) can be checked on other meshes, preventing misinterpretation (for example as a new carving)… if the thing is visible in more than one mesh, it is probably real. Results
- 135. The interface is effectively a Beta version. We need to work on providing: •Full screen display •Access to an enhanced mesh of the cave walls (although we are constrained by internet speeds) •More data download options (for example, high resolution meshes) •More use of animation and sound to make the experience more realistic . For phase II

Editor's Notes
- Raising profile of heritage Developing audiences Engagement
- £36,000 in 1991 worth £54,000 today.
- Not new. Every generation re-discovers the cave and wants to do something about them. Uses the technology available to them at the time.
- It’s been 150 years exactly since James Young Simpson recognised and first documented the ancient carvings in the caves of East Wemyss. 4D Wemyss caves is just the latest in an 150 year old tradition of recording the Wemyss Caves. Let’s meet the archaeological and antiquarian pioneers who came before us.
- Cabinet Secretary convened a Wemyss Caves Working Group which included the local community Evolved into a management group for the Caves, which includes representation from the local community
