Abstract. Barong cave, located in West Java, Indonesia, is one of the caves within the cultural heritage site of Pawon cave, which has the potential to have been a human settlement based on the artifacts found there. However, the site has faced challenges such as vandalism, lack of proper management and preservation efforts, and the negative impacts of limestone mining. Terrestrial Laser Scanner (TLS) have gained attention as a tool for cave measurement and documentation, but there is limited research on their use for cultural heritage preservation in Indonesian caves. This study focuses on documenting and creating a 3D model of Barong cave using TLS, with a specific exploration of the intensity values of point cloud data obtained from TLS near-infrared wave. Data acquisition was successfully carried out, resulting in detailed digital models of the cave. Although manual identification of vandalism using TLS was limited, our study demonstrated the potential of TLS as a tool for identifying vandalism in caves. Further research, including the development of augmented reality and virtual reality applications for museums and education, and automated identification of markings on 3D point cloud data using intensity values for cave art, requires further development.
Terrestrial Laser Scanner is a tool capable of generating millions 3D points with mm accuracy, but upper structure is difficult to model. Unmanned Aerial Vehicle is an unmanned aircraft system technology that can provide structural data on buildings. Measurements with one technique can lead to unsatisfactory results, so an integration process is carried out to obtain a more accurate 3D model. The purpose of this research is to see the successful integration of TLS and UAV point cloud data for 3D modeling. The data used is secondary data from previous research. TLS and UAV data were processed with Agisoft Metashape and Cyclone in the same coordinate system. The integration process is carried out by aligning the same point cloud between the two data in CloudCompare with an RMSE of 25.60 mm. Validation is done by comparing the distance between the results of the 3D model with the actual conditions. The integrated 3D model can be implemented for the purposes of Bosscha Observatory 3D modeling.
