Through our human’s long history, a lot of precious cultural heritages are made. Now a lot of cultural heritages are lost or destroyed and to save the information of them is necessary for not only the study of art field but also textbooks of our history. The final purpose of our research is to archive those cultural heritages’ information as a digital data for analyzing them and exhibiting the information to people. To achieve the purpose, we use our specialized mechanical techniques of modeling or building scanners, and variable analytical techniques to obtain a lot of information from scanned images. Our techniques are based on a broad-based mechanical dynamics and information organizing techniques. These techniques are built by a lot of expert engineers in our lab of Kyoto University, Japan. The most important point of our techniques is the skill to build up the lightest and uncomplicated scanners adjusted to each site. These techniques are necessary to obtain the information of best-preserved cultural heritages in a special place, because the places usually have small or wired shape spaces, but scanners which meet such requirements cannot be seen in the world yet except ours.
