Google Earth Model of Machu Picchu

Google Earth Model of Machu Picchu

Este trabajo nos enseña en forma integral lo que es Machupichu , cuando la visite hace 8 años , a pesar de que soy arquitecto no pude visualizarla integralmente como hoy recién lo hice gracias a este trabajo hecho por el cusqueño Vladimiro Dávila del Instituto Nacional de Cultura y procesado por the Center for Advanced Spatial Technologies de los EEUU.

A detailed 3D Google Earth model of the ancient Inca city of Machu Picchu has been created using data from a laser scan of the site conducted by the University of Arkansas (see below). The model contains every building, every structure and every terrace in the entire city and is accurate to within 10cm (4") over most of the site.

The model also includes all structures and terraces at the top of Wayna Picchu, the mountain that is in the background in most photos of Machu Picchu.

The video includes a series of photos of Machu Picchu together with screen shots of the model to show the accuracy of the model.

(The dark coloured texturing of the grass etc. is taken directly from the Google Earth satellite image, which is required by Google.)

There is a stereoscopic 3D version of the video athttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=68DHzxjnqL8
