I recently used a Leica HDS3000 laser scanner to scan a Kentucky cave. Below is a link to a rough image in screenshot of the data. If anyone woud like a sample of the 3d data or more pictures, let me know.

Very nice. I had wondered recently if this had been tried yet. How sturdy is the equipment you used and how time consuming is it?

I did something similar a few years ago with a 3rd Tech DeltaSphere. We went to Laurel Caverns. Did you do the scan with from one position, or did you take several data collects and mesh them together? What software did you use?

I scanned from one position. I was demonstrating for a college class with only two hours to scan. From the top view, you can see the missing data. In three hours, I could scan a 600'x20'x20' cave passage at a point every inch.
