3D Mapping the world's largest cave chambers

Abstract

This 3 year project set out to scan in 3D the world's top ten largest cave chambers in the world. This is an update on the progress of this work which has already re-written the list of 'world's biggest' and will in all likelihood have further changes to announce at the conference. Roo will update cavers as to current status and give some insight into the process and issues in 3D scanning underground.
