Hello hivemind ,
Background
Last night I began the process of digitising (Survex) a paper survey for our upcoming SUSS Tresviso expedition.
This is a paper survey for which the original data had been lost.
There are no doubt countless other caves with paper surveys but lacking the original data where it is impractical to resurvey them in the short term - i.e. large quantities of caves abroad.
Does anybody know of a piece of software that could assist with such a process?
Current Lines of Enquiry
There are numerous xy plot digitisers online, but nothing immediately visible to me for the digitisation of xyz data from plan and elevation views.
I have found a mine-survey vectorising company that appear to also generate 3d models - I will contact them tonight.
I have sent a Facebook message to the "Abandoned Mine Models" page: https://www.facebook.com/Abandoned-Mine-Models-407369656071364/
Any other suggestions would be appreciated.
Likewise if there is a keen coder out there willing to work for peanuts for the good of the caving community, I'm more than happy to work with you and write up a thorough and clear specification.
In the meantime, back to the protractor and ruler this evening.
