Complex Analysis and Documentation of Historical Buildings Using New Geomatics Methods

Abstract

Documentation of a historical building is very important process preceding to every restoration or reconstruction work. It helps to preserve even minor information about objects shape, state, position and is often used for work advancement planning. Documentation is usually done using precise 3D model creation from which demanded cuts like ground plan are created. This papers shows how new geomatics methods can be used for 3D model creation and its placement in the area, that can be very interesting in terms of north-south position. As a case study two historical churches located in Czech Republic (towns of Holubice and Kralovice) has been used. Photogrammetry and laser scanning methods for 3D model creation are introduced.

Use of Modern Technologies for the Conservation of Historical Heritage in Water Management

“…This type of measurements performed using the TLS technique, namely MMS are the first of its kind in Romania, being for the first time when applied for this field, pioneering this way in the field of hydrotechnics in Romania, especially for the Banat Water Basin Administration who manages through this scanning work in order to create a digital data base, which will be used for achieving some projects regarding virtual reality (VR-Virtual Reality) namely achieving BIM (building information modelling) projects [55][56][57][58][59], considering the fact that before starting the rehabilitation works of Sânmihaiu Român Hydro technical Node, two scans were performed using the Leica C10 terrestrial laser scanner as well as a mobile scan using the Leica Pegasus Backpack scanner. There will also be a 3D scan with the Leica Pegasus Backpack mobile scanner at the end of the rehabilitation works, for the revitalization of the Bega River and for tourist navigation, including by capitalizing on tourist locations thus creating unlimited opportunities for development of the area with at least two advantages to complete two European projects already underway: the first project being the one through which the bicycle track was made along the Bega canal, a work in which the authors participated for the topographic surveys on a length of 36 km and the realization of the compensations, respectively the situation plans.…”

Earthen Jewish Architecture of Southern Morocco: Documentation of Unfired Brick Synagogues and Mellahs in the Drâa-Tafilalet Region

“…Based on the cooperation of the above-mentioned university professional workplaces, the aim was to perform and test modern, fast, and accurate 3D documentation of objects of interest. Today's documentation of historic buildings presupposes the use of modern technologies that will significantly speed up the documentation process [23][24][25].…”

Modern Possibilities of Documentation and Replication of Archaeological Finds

“…At the beginning of the new millennium, with the increasing performance of personal computers, the first easy-to-use software appeared to automatically evaluate the content of images in a point cloud using image correlation, which is computationally demanding (Bundler, Agisoft PhotoScan / Metshape, Zephyr etc. ), (Hůlková, M., Poloprutský, Z., Raeva, P., Matoušková, E. & Housarová , E., 2016, Remondino, 2011.…”
