Kakadu
Kakadu submitted by Arjessa : Ancient Aboriginal Rock Art, Kakadu National Park, Northern Territory. (Vote or comment on this photo)
Rock Art in Northern Territory.
Kakadu National Park is a protected area in the Northern Territory of Australia, 171 km southeast of Darwin. The park contains the art sites of Ubirr, Burrunguy (Nourlangie Rock) and Nanguluwur, all internationally recognized as outstanding examples of Aboriginal rock art.

These sites, and thousands of others, are found in rocky outcrops that have afforded shelter to Aboriginal inhabitants for thousands of years. Aboriginal people have occupied the Kakadu area continuously for at least 40,000 years.
- paraphrase from Wikipedia, "Kakadu National Park"

Kakadu National Park
Kakadu National Park submitted by tomlee : It seems like to be a ant-human. It is a wall painting at Kakadu National Park in Australia. I heared it was painted 8000 years ago when I traveled there. There are a lot of wall paintings at the Kakadu park. Some days, you should step by... Thanks and best wishes, Tom, Lee (Vote or comment on this photo)

Maptek Donates 3D Data of Aboriginal Rock Art Scan to CyArk Archive by bat400 on Saturday, 19 October 2013
(User Info | Send a Message)
CyArk is pleased to announce that Maptek has donated data sets to the CyArk archive from 3D scanning they conducted of Aboriginal rock art at Kakadu National Park in Australia. This is the most recent contribution to the CyArk archive through our recently launched Data Donation Program .

Maptek I-Site Studio software was used to create a 3D reproduction of historical Aboriginal rock art at Kakadu National Park in Australia's Northern Territory.

The rock art sites of Kakadu are recognized internationally for their cultural value, and are one of the reasons that Kakadu is inscribed on the United Nations Educational, Scientific, Cultural Organization (UNESCO) list of World Heritage properties. The purpose of this project was to preserve Australian cultural and heritage listed artifacts in a reproducible and accurate 3D format.

Three locations were scanned during the one-day visit with 17 areas of art captured, each containing multiple pieces.

Maptek chose I-Site Studio software for its modeling tools. The detailed laser scan data contained up to 74 million points. This data was modeled to create an accurate 3D representation of the environment. High definition digital photographs were captured simultaneously to record the artwork.

Maptek used this software because the photo registration tools in I-Site Studio allow photographs from digital cameras and other sources to be projected in any orientation onto a surface. Laser intensity data from the infrared signals was used to match points in photos with points in the 3D scene. This took a 2D photo and turned it into a 3D scene.

CyArk is pleased to build on our partnership with Maptek through this project, and we are proud to include this incredible site in our archive.
