According to physicist organizational networks reported on June 5, biologist at the University of Manchester have developed a new technology that can help to more accurately measure laser scanning dinosaur's weight and size, and found that they did not like before envisioned weight.
Researchers also said that this technology can be applied to all dinosaur weight measurements. The paper's lead author,
Dr. Bill Sellers said: "For paleontologists One of the things that are most important, is the need to understand the animal has become fossils have multiple of this work was surprisingly difficult, so we tested They found that the actual weight of the animal than the more calculation capacity is about 21%. Subsequently, they will apply this approach in the Natural History Museum in Berlin, Germany, a huge long-necked dragon skeleton, calculated by laser scanning of the skin and skeleton of this dinosaur package volume, and then increased by 21%, thereby calculate its actual weight .
Earlier estimates for the long-necked dragon very diverse weight up to 80 tons, but the research team calculated that figure may be reduced to 23 tons. Sellers explained that the body weight is to limit the organism biomechanics and physiology that critical parameters. He said that the volumetric method is widespread, often used in vertebrate paleontology weight estimate.
But scientists are likely to use this technique to estimate their original soft tissue body with too much subjective judgment, and thus affect the weight estimation accuracy. In the new approach, the estimate data obtained directly from the cloud, can minimize human intervention, so as to more quickly access more objective results.
