Royal Reveals: LiDAR Mapping of Kronborg Castle, Echoes of Hamlet's Halls

A groundbreaking digital reconstruction of Kronborg Castle, Denmark's iconic Renaissance fortress and setting for Shakespeare's 'Hamlet,' reveals unprecedented architectural details through advanced LiDAR scanning. The study utilized a 16-channel, 360-degree Velodyne VLP-16 LiDAR scanner paired with an Intel RealSense L515 depth camera to capture intricate structural nuances in high resolution. This dataset not only provides a comprehensive 3D model of the castle but also offers valuable resources for researchers studying Simultaneous Localisation and Mapping (SLAM) techniques and floorplan generation, bridging historical preservation with cutting-edge digital mapping technologies.
