Abstract

This paper depicts about a main goal to reconstruct the whole Banteay Chhmar temple virtually. This is just beyond our goal. In order to reach this goal, 3D data of each stone block is needed to analyze in computer and create 3D sample of the temple. 3D laser scanner was utilized to record the stone blocks as well as the artifacts there.

Acknowledgement

It is our golden opportunity to express our respect and deepest thank to Dr. Michael Winkler who provides a valuable chance for us to do some practical on the actual field and fully supports both emotional and financial to make this practical run smoothly. Also, I would like to say sincerely thank to Dr. Pheakdey Nguonphan providing the priceless idea to write my abstract as well as my paper and to initiate the concept for our future work. Furthermore, he is always available when we need to consult in order to enhance our work; even though, he is very busy with his work. Not only does he give precious idea, but he also participates as we scanned the stone block, sharing his experience in order to make our work better. We also do not forget to send our respect and grateful from our real heart to Prof. Phal Des who always takes a good care of us. He always provides a great deal of advice which enables to have a bright future this day. Even more important, he has devoted his office and house for us to do some practical before we step up to scan the stone block at Bantey Chhmar temple. One more thing, we would like to thank the Global Heritage Fund and staffs taking part in our practical and simplifying all stuffs for us such as moving stone and providing room for scanning and equipments. Finally, we want to say think to all my colleagues including Heng Sokha, Var Punnith, and Meng Hann who assisted us to install the background and equipment, buy some necessary things, and find solution to deal with all problem, making us do faster.
