CyArk
In 2017, CyArk and Iron Mountain partnered to digitally document the military fortifications of Fort York in Toronto. The project was started to commemorate and preserve this historic landmark.
CyArk, a not-for-profit that aims to conserve, recover, and discover historic places, used advanced technology on eight buildings and their surrounding areas. Using photogrammetry and LiDAR they were able to measure the buildings while aerial drones captured the visual details.
LiDAR laser measuring was used to document exact measurements of both the outside of the buildings and inside spaces as well.
The historic site was captured on camera from above and close up shots of the buildings’ surfaces were done with DSLR cameras.
