Lia Fáil, Tara (Turntable Movie)
Pillar-shaped stone on the Northern side of the central mound of the Forrad, popularly identified as the Lia Fáil (1.57m high,; girth 1.58m at ground level and 1.23m near the top), also known as The Stone of Destiny. Moved here from its original position near Duma na nGiall (Mound of the Hostages) in 1824 in commemoration of those who fell during the Battle of Tara in 1798. It is lightly engraved …

Provenance
- Close Range Scanning of Lia Fáil, Tara. The Next Engine 3D Laser Scanner was utilised to generate resolution models of surfaces with small scale detail. The Next Engine uses MultiStripe Laser Triangulation (MLT) technology.Source - Twin arrays of four, Class 1M, 10 mW solid state lasers with custom optics 650 nm l.Sensor - Twin 3.0 Megapixel CMOS image sensors.Photo Surface - Optically synchronous 7-color surface capture for precision-locked geometry correlation.Photo Lighting Built-in spatially diverse white-light illuminators with triphosphor, wide color gamut.Object Size - No preset limit. Objects larger than field can be assembled with supplied software.Field Size - 5.1" x 3.8" (Macro) and 13.5" x 10.1" (Wide). HD PRO Extended Mode 22.5" x 16.75".Resolution - 3D point density on target surface is 400 DPI in Macro Mode and 150 DPI in Wide Mode.Texture Density - 400 DPI on target surfaces is 400 DPI in Macro Mode and 150 DPI in Wide Mode.Dimensional Accuracy±0.005" in Macro Mode and ±0.015" in Wide Mode.Post-processing is done in Geomagic Studio 2012 software: individual scans are edited, aligned, before a final surface is generated using global registration, fusion, and a small objects filter algorithm.. For dissemination purposes a 3D pdf of the model is generated using Geomagic Studio 2012.
