Episode 20- Amazing Hidden Features Exposed by LiDAR: Ancient Stone Structures

​ @Stones_and_Stories This is "where the stones have a story to tell" and that story is about to be enhanced by the detailed 3D imaging of LiDAR (light detection and ranging).

As I prepared for this episode, it became appearent that this perched boulder may also be an effigy. In this case, an effigy of a face in the stone (‪@FacesintheStone‬ ). That's when I decided to start using LiDAR.

This video may seem choppy compared to my others. The LiDAR rendering is quite compute intensive and made it difficult to product this video smoothly. I will work to improve it in the future.

It also relies on an article in the NEARA Journal, Volume 40, Number 2 (2006) by Vyacheslav Mizin, "The Perched Boulders: Glaciers or Man-Made in the Northern Hemisphere. https://neara.org/pdf/Mizin_perched_r...
