Photogrammetry and Laser Scanning for Reconstruction and Restoration of Historical Buildings

Abstract

Abstract. Scientific and fundamental metrology concerns the development of new measurement methods. Technology development evaluates in the emergence of new devices, methods and techniques, allowing to obtain spatial and geometric information about constructions with greater accuracy and less labour-and time-consumption. Applied metrology concerns the application of measurement science to their use in society. Such information is of great importance, since the use of these data can provide, for example, a complete view of the construction project documentation accuracy or will allow for further structure and facility monitoring, deviations of structures from the design project, sediment and overall construction state. Another important application is the imprinting objects, in particular listed buildings, in order to preserve their appearance, meaning the use of this data in the restoration or rehabilitation facilities. During the subsequent processing information can be transformed into other forms of fixation like drawings and three-dimensional model. Metrology has thrived at the interface between science and manufacturing. Particularly, Laser scanning and Photogrammetry methods found their wide application in solving practical tasks in architecture and building construction. These are the most common methods of obtaining this information. The article presents the description of both methods and discusses their advantages and disadvantages, as well as aspects, which determine the use of a particular method in different situations.

Selection of tachymetry spacing in the process of monitoring of construction projects

“…The monitoring of linear strains is described in [28] and that of non-linear surfaces is stated in [29]. The control over the strains may be carried out by different ways: laser scanning [30][31][32] (which allows the determination of seismic loadings, according to [33]); photogrammetry [34]; determination of drill-hole inclination and direction [35] and tachymetry survey [36].…”

Wooden roof structures of the Moberg house

“…A novel approach to prioritizing the severity of physical defects is visual inspection using a multi-criteria decision analysis approach [13]. Methods of laser scanning and photogrammetry are also widely used [5,9]. There is a known method of complex chronological attribution of monuments of wooden architecture, including architectural and dendrochronological studies [24].…”

Construction of atrium in the Tula Kremlin: history, background and opportunities

“…A group of young, but already quite skilled Tula architects under the leadership of the recognized master of architecture E. V. Erzovsky came up with concrete proposals. The essence of their proposals is integration of both buildings in a united complex by overlapping the courtyard with modern large-span structures [15]. The project received the conventional name "atrium".…”
