Acquisition of spatial data related to the surface relief of rocks by means of the laser scanning method may be motivated by various reasons. For example, diff erential research is being conducted on models built on the basis of a cloud of points measured during diff erent surveying periods in order to detect falling rock fragments. The results of scanning surveys of coastal cliff s which, in comparison with other examples of rock surface, change their form relatively fast are favourable [2]. Also, the periodic monitoring of landslides and rockfalls is being performed in order to defi ne the pace of cleft and the dynamics of rockfalls. On an industrial scale, the method of periodic survey by means of terrestrial laser scanning (TLS) is used in strip mines and stone pits. In such cases, it is used to calculate the volume of the mined rock mass by comparing point clouds or models in diff erent surveying periods. Scanning can be used to study rocks of complicated shapes, hazardous stability, such as monadnocks, inselbergs and mushroom rocks. Interesting examples of such surveys are presented in [9] where scanning and modelling of the Echo Cliff s ‘Precariously Balanced Rock’ in California conducted by the United States Geological Survey Institute was described, as well as in [5], where the results of the Delicate Arch inventory were presented. There are also some specifi c rocks, scanning and modelling of which present cognitional characteristics in the fi eld of anthropology and culture. For instance, prehistoric rock megaliths and petroglyphs (carved rock drawings) are subject to scanning. The analysis of the surface of a model, which was carried out on the basis of point clouds of high precision and resolution, facilitates reading petroglyphs that were not discovered with the naked eye, which is exemplifi ed by the famous Stonehenge in Great Britain. Its scanning was conducted by two
