  abstract =   "Range laser scanning evolved as a means for documenting
               buildings or archeological excavation sites. Point clouds
               resulting from these laser scans can consist of hundreds of
               millions of points. To get a clean model from this vast
               amount of data needs several person months. Instead we try
               to visualize the data directly, so archeologists can have a
               quick overview of the already scanned areas (e.g., during a
               scanning campaign). The models in our viewer are combined
               point clouds from several scan positions, and it is possible
               to add new point clouds to an existing model. We also allow
               for deleting points from the model. Furthermore we developed
               a heuristic to estimate point sizes, which enables the
               viewer to display surfaces as closed objects without a
               special preprocessing step. For the point size heuristic it
               suffices to know the positions of the points.",
