The paper deals with the use of metric survey documentation as a basis for Artistic and Historical Research of rural architecture. The Artistic and Historical Research focuses on a specific part, an element or a type of surveyed buildings in the selected time period. Its results can be further developed and interpreted in a wider cultural context of the respective rural region. In this way, it is possible to describe the cultural and social environment of the given rural region and external influences which have guided its future development in the given time period. The objective of metric survey documentation is to provide a reliable spatial and temporal framework for future analyses.The article presents practical experience in using metric survey documentation of rural buildings. Its outputs can serve for e.g. drawings, 3D models, photographs, orthophotos, thematic maps and others.

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.

This paper deals with the specifics and working procedures for 3D digital reconstructions of defunct buildings of rural architecture. The resulting 3D models are to be used for presentation and educational activities intended for the lay and professional public and are based on archival sources - archival 2D metric survey documentation (drawings and photographs), written sources. Another requirement is the possibility of presentation on the internet within a parallel developing web platform. SketchUp 2021 Pro software, extended by plug-ins, is used for the 3D modelling process.

This article deals with parametric modelling of three types of windows from the 19 th and 20 th century. All three types of windows are fitted in the same set of buildings -a coaching inn. The article describes the design and creation process of library for Historic Building Information Modelling (HBIM). The design and development of the window-library are based on the analyses of available metric survey documentation -photo documentation, point cloud, drawings of ground plan. The characteristics of the final Building Information Model (BIModel) are derived from the nature of the case study, respectively type of historical building, Level of Details (LoD) of surveys, purpose of modelling and required Level of Development (LOD). Based on these specifications, it is possible to realize three different types of BIModel -simplified, detailed and shape-faithful. The aim of this modelling was to design a library usable for detailed BIModel.

Geographical information system (GIS), Georeferencing ABSTRACT:This paper deals with the non-destructive documentation of the "Radkov" (Svitavy district, Czech Republic) archaeological site. ALS, GPR and land survey mapping will be used for the analysis. The fortified hilltop settlement "Radkov" is an immovable historical monument with preserved relics of anthropogenic origin in relief. Terrain reconnaissance can identify several accentuated objects on site. ALS enables identification of poorly recognizable archaeological objects and their contexture in the field. Geophysical survey enables defunct objects identification. These objects are hidden below the current ground surface and their layout is crucial. Land survey mapping provides technical support for ALS and GPR survey. It enables data georeferencing in geodetic reference systems. GIS can then be used for data analysis. M. Cejpová and J. Němcová have studied this site over a long period of time. In 2012 Radkov was surveyed using ALS in the project "The Research of Ancient Road in Southwest Moravia and East Bohemia". Since 2015 the authors have been examining this site. This paper summarises the existing results of the work of these authors. The digital elevation model in the form of a grid (GDEM) with a resolution 1 m of 2012 was the basis for this work. In 2015 the survey net, terrain reconnaissance and GPR survey of two archaeological objects were done at the site. GDEM was compared with these datasets. All datasets were processed individually and its results were compared in ArcGIS.
