Data set with length measurments of Machu Picchu

The base of a niche was considered to be a construction level where in the past the architectural module could be applied. To check this possibility the width and the distances between niches were measured in the 3D point cloud for further cosine quantogram analysis. Thus, 11 data sets were created, each corresponding to a particular sector or distinguish part of it, from the area so-called zona urbana in Machu Picchu site. The size of each sample depends on the amount and size of buildings in a sector, so samples vary from 44 to 244 measurements, measured in centimetre [cm].
