Yesterday, I met with representatives of the University of California Santa Cruz to discuss the potential James Lick Observatory project. We had a very productive meeting and i<span style="font-size: 12pt;">t was nice to talk with folks who understood the technology and how it could be leveraged to their advantage.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Calibri, Helvetica, sans-serif, EmojiFont, "Apple Color Emoji", "Segoe UI Emoji", NotoColorEmoji, "Segoe UI Symbol", "Android Emoji", EmojiSymbols; font-size: 16px;">
<span style="font-size: 12pt;">There were two primary areas of interest from the university's perspective; education and engineering.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Calibri, Helvetica, sans-serif, EmojiFont, "Apple Color Emoji", "Segoe UI Emoji", NotoColorEmoji, "Segoe UI Symbol", "Android Emoji", EmojiSymbols; font-size: 16px;">

<span style="font-size: 12pt;">This was pretty </span>straight<span style="font-size: 12pt;"> forward conversation. H</span><span style="font-size: 12pt;">ow do we take the knowledge and resources of the most famous observatory in the world and bring it to the classroom? Could we develop online </span><span style="font-size: 12pt;">lesson plans? Virtual and Augmented Reality elements? </span>Online<span style="font-size: 12pt;"> competitions, games or engineering challenges?</span></div>

<span style="font-size: 12pt;">The observatory's 36" refractor was the largest telescope in the world at the time of its installation. It is still one of the largest in the world and definitely one of the most </span><span style="font-size: 12pt;">famous. This 25,000 lbs. telescope is mounted on a floor that is raised and lowered using four (4) large hydraulic pistons. </span>Raising<span style="font-size: 12pt;"> and lowering the floor/telescope allows scientist to adjust to objects that are lower/higher on the horizon. (Ingenious technology given the observatory was built in the 1880s!) </span></div>

<span style="font-size: 12pt;"></span><span style="font-size: 12pt;">One problem is the hydraulic lift isn't working which means they are limited in its use. Guest/researchers/visitors are not able to access the main telescope as they typically would. Depending upon the position of earth in </span><span style="font-size: 12pt;">relation</span><span style="font-size: 12pt;"> to other celestial bodies, there are large areas of the sky that are difficult if not impossible to view through the </span>telescope. In addition, the problem with the lift means researchers and visitors must access the telescope via narrow staircases. Best case scenarios means that only a couple of people at a time can actually access the telescope</div>

They need to repair the hydraulic lift system and restore the floor to proper operating condition. For this, they would like to have an as-exist model of the floor, hydraulics and mechanical system that can be used for condition monitoring, design and/or reverse engineering the equipment.<span style="background-color: transparent;"> </span></div>

<b>Secondly</b>, the capacity of the main dome is only 49 ppl at a time. This is based upon fire code occupancy rates established after the 1906 earthquake. They would like to have a 3D model of the dome to design additional access/egress points that would allow them to increase capacity of the space and open things up to a larger audiences. <a data-auth="NotApplicable" href="https://www.ucolick.org/summer/" id="LPlnk412994" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">(JLO has evening events and programs that are open to the public.)</a> </div>

A detailed model of the facility will also allow the UC to design new elements such as handrails, stairs and other components of the facility that are aesthetically pleasing, maintain the integrity of the site and most importantly provide a safe environment for researchers and guest. They need to upgrade these components but they want to insure that any new elements fit within the parameters of the original design. Any new railing, stairs, doorways need to look as though they were part of the original 1880 design. This can be accomplished by scanning existing equipment, printing 3D prototypes and having them cast by metallurgist. </div>

Believe it or not, there are many, many residents of San Jose/Silicon Valley who have no idea of the significance of this world renowned observatory. This is not a local "attraction", it's not a regional landmark. This is world famous institution that has been at the forefront of technology for 130 years! From Einstein's Theory of Relativity to the discovery of extrasolar planets, this observatory is recognized around the world by leading members of the scientific community. Indeed, Silicon Valley can trace its technology roots back to Mt. Hamilton in 1888. This is both a working scientific facility and historic monument with the potential of being a world class astronomy museum!</div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Our programs teach students to use state of the art
reality capture technology to create 3D models of historic San Jose homes,
artifacts and property. The program empowers students by giving them the
technical skills, guidance and opportunity to document their environment using the
same technology that is used in archeology, architecture, construction, design,
civil engineering, mechanical engineering, forensic investigations, surveying
and geometrics. Based upon the principles of advanced geometry and
trigonometry, our program(s) are creating a digital record of our cultural
heritage and environment for future researcher, educators and scientist. This
is a unique, hands-on, action based program that focuses on the practical
application of technology rather than extensive lecture and class work. Our partners include the Santa Clara County
Office of Education, History Park, JFK University and the Silicon Valley Black
Chamber of Commerce.<table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="float: right; margin-left: 1em; text-align: right;"><tbody>

A formal organization since 1894, the San Jose Woman's Club has a rich and interesting history.<br />
This fall, young ladies from Notre Dame High School's engineering club will laser scan the historic building in anticipation of the club's planned retrofit.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.pointztaken.com/">In addition to documenting the property for preservation purposes</a>, the data will be used to assist the architects and contractors during the both the planning and construction phase of the retrofit, process. The significance of having the pre-engineering work on the building completed by these young ladies is what makes this project noteworthy. Introducing the next generation of designers and engineers to this technology, while studying one of the oldest women's organizations in the Bay Area is a truly unique opportunity.<br />
<br />
The beautiful Spanish Revival Building on South Eleventh Street was completed in 1929. Currently, the building is still used as the clubhouse for the <a href="http://www.sjwomansclub.org/about_us.html">SJ Woman's Club</a> however the building is a favorite <br />

rental location for weddings and special events.<br />
<br />
Under <a href="http://www.pointztaken.com/">professional supervision</a>, the documentation process will begin with a formal research on the structure, including blueprint review and visual inspections.<br />
The students will develop a logistical plan and scan plot for the building and property based upon the client's requirements.<br />
The scanning process is scheduled and the documentation completed, the data is processed into a 3D point cloud.<br />
The point cloud will be developed into a fly-through model for the Woman's Club webpage.<br />
The raw point cloud will be given to the SJ Woman's Club's architect for use as a 3D blueprint. The point cloud can be imported into AutoCAD or Revit software for planning, design or engineering.<br />
<br />
The project is expected to take place over the course of a semester. However, the actual scanning and processing will take little more than a week total. The extended schedule is necessary to accomodate the demands of the students normal academic requirements and engineering/robotics club responsibilities.<br />
<br />
Look for a follow-up blog post, a fly-through video and white paper by the students around December<br />

<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: x-large;"><b><i>Coming This July, </i></b></span><a href="http://www.pointztaken.com/">The Reality Capture Technology Training Center </a>will host our second annual summer technology camp at History Park in San Jose. The week long camp provides participants with hands on experience using state of the art laser scanning and photogrammetry technology to digitally document the historic buildings and artifacts at History Park. The data from the buildings and artifacts documented by the student/participants becomes part of the History San Jose archives and will eventually be featured in a major 3D exhibition.<br />

Current reality capture technology allows users to collect billions of point measurements fast and safely, then register scans to create an accurate photo realistic unified 3D point cloud model. The overall benefit of the 3D model is extreme accuracy of the data collected and the ability to seamlessly transfer knowledge and information from user to user, user to client or user to the general public.<br />
<br />
Whether you have an interest in art, animation, architecture, building/construction, design, engineering, forensic investigation, geomatics, operations or surveying, reality capture technology will play a major role in the future of these and related vocations.<br />

<b><span style="font-size: small;">The laser scanning process took place on Friday February 12th and Wednesday February 17th. The tool of choice was the <span style="color: #cc0000;">FARO Focus 330x</span> Long Range Laser Scanner. As usual, the <span style="color: #cc0000;">FARO Focus</span> proved to be ideal for this type of job. Light weight, maneuverable and easy to operate, the <span style="color: #cc0000;">FARO Focus</span> was perfect for climbing narrow balcony stairs, navigating dark vomitories. The <i>mission </i>was to provide as much data as </span></b><span style="font-size: small;"><b>possible for the client; data on the extent of the interior damage, data on the condition of the walls, ceilings and floors. We began by scanning the front exterior of the building, collecting data on the street elevations, stairs and columns. </b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><b><br /></b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><b>From the front steps we worked our way into the lobby and from the lobby to the main floor and on to the balcony. A total of 37 scans were taken; 6 on the front exterior and 31 scans inside the structure. With a range of over 300 meters on the <span style="color: #cc0000;">FARO Focus</span> laser scanner, I knew this was massive overkill however on a project like this you can never have too much information. In reality, this project could have been completed in half the number of scans and in less than half the time if you are interested in creating a point cloud of the building that has general dimensional information. However, when construction preservation and/or restoration is involved detail is often critical. Considering the purpose for gathering data on this building, I decided that <i>much more</i> is better.</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><b>The 37 scans have an average of 23,000,000 points each. As you might guess, the processing for this amount of data was <i>extremely</i> long. (<i>The best thing to do when handling this much data is to allow your computer to process overnight and pray it doesn't crash while your asleep.) </i>The information provided can be used to reverse engineer moldings, virtually construct or redesign aspects the building, to monitor and evaluate the structure before and after the proposed relocation and myriad other things.</b></span></div>

The Cathedral Basilica of Saint Joseph, located in Downtown San Jose, is the cathedral for the Roman Catholic Diocese in San Jose. The Basilica is named for Saint Joseph, patron saint of the universal church.<br />
The first non-parish church built in California, the original church was called San Jose de Guadalupe. The adobe structure was built at the current site of the basilica in 1803.<br />

The first church was damaged by earthquakes in 1818 and 1822. A new adobe church was built from 1835 to 1846. The second church was severely damaged by the 1868 Hayward quake and work began in 1869. The third church was destroyed by fire in 1875. A temporary fourth church was built a few blocks away while construction began on the fifth church.<br />

The fifth church was dedicated by the Archbishop of San Francisco, Joseph Alemany, in 1877 while still under construction. The current portico was completed in 1884 and the large dome was completed in 1885. A major renovation project began in 1981 and in 1985 the basilica was elevated to a cathedral pending the completion of the renovation in 1990.<br />

These cables were extended around the interior of the dome to provide support and prevent the dome from expanding outward. The large bolts were used to tighten or loosen the tension as needed. Amazingly, these domes survived the 1989 Loma Prieta Earthquake. Seismic support systems were added to the ceilings and domes following the '89 quake.<br />
