Three-dimensional modeling and drawings of stone column motifs in Harran Ruins

Abstract

Archaeology Photogrammetry 3D Model HarranThe preservation, documentation, and transmission of archaeological artifacts, which are also defined as heritage, can be accepted as the common responsibility of humanity. To document the cultural heritage, the status of historical artifacts should be known. The photogrammetry technique has been commonly used in the documentation of cultural heritage in parallel with the technological developments recently. In addition to producing map and topographic products, generating three-dimensional models from two-dimensional photographs has brought the photogrammetry method to an important position. For this reason, contributions are made to different disciplines such as archeology. Digital documentation of archaeological artifacts provides serious advantages. In this study, some of the destroyed stone column samples found in Harran Ruins were modeled by using Structure from Motion (SfM) method. At the end of the study the point clouds, digital surface models, orthoimages and stone column motifs were obtained.

Close-range photogrammetry for analysis of rock relief details: An investigation of symbols purported to be Jewish Menorahs in Rough Cilicia

“…The sufficiency of inexpensive DSLR cameras for close-range object photogrammetry has already been established in archaeology [7,21]. This study emphasizes the practical use of low-cost equipment and ease of data collection for survey projects.…”

Application of terrestrial photogrammetry method in cultural heritage studies: A case study of Seyfeddin Karasungur

“…With the digital photogrammetric method, the documentation, presentation, protection of historical buildings, and the detection of deteriorations that may occur in the works during and after the restoration works can be determined by the conservation experts [22][23][24]. Another important advantage of photogrammetry is that it allows 3D representation of objects by modeling them in accordance with their originals [25][26].…”
