Purpose: Very often, working on Cultural Heritage themes, there is the need for quick and accurate survey of one or more than one sculpture, sometimes it can be a part of a larger monument, sometimes it is a standing alone monument in its environment, whatever is the starting operational condition the statue need a specific accuracy, according to the need of the study and according to the finality of its survey.
Methodology/Approach: The To produce a very usable survey of those statues and the survey of their environment in the same moment of the statue survey. The chosen procedure is based on laserscan survey using phase shift technology. In this way the accuracy on the statue is usable for the study of their shape and proportions, while the survey of its environment will fits the need for multimedia representation and for the need for any analysis and/or consideration concerning the relationships between the monument and its settlement. This will be very useful for researches on the status of the monument but will be useful for project study too, because this survey give the opportunity to analyze the statue and its context according to a single and very accurate survey operation.
Results: The metric information build as a series of three dimensional models are now optimized for analysis and or for presentations based on traditional and/or Multimedia and Internet solutions. The case study presented here demonstrates how the whole procedure allows obtaining high quality models of the statues and of the architecture using a single tool.
