The Tomb of Christ, Jerusalem, Israel

The Gresham Jerusalem Project was concerned with a photogrammetric survey of the Tomb of Christ situated in the Church of the Holy Sepulchre, Jerusalem, and involved a computer model derived from three-dimensional photogrammetric data.

Project dates: 1989-96

Contributors:

The Gresham Jerusalem Project was directed by Professor Martin Biddle and Dr Birthe Kjølbye-Biddle, Oxford University. The photogrammetric survey of the tomb was undertaken by Professor Mike Cooper, Dr Stuart Robson and Roger Littleworth of the City University, London. Funded by the Leverhulme Trust.
