Digital Construction of Traditional Baruk in Sarawak, Malaysia

Abstract

<jats:p> The traditional Baruk in Sarawak has gone through some architectural changes in terms of its material and function due to the urban modernization and safety concern. Therefore, the research aims to construct the Three-Dimensional (3D) model of the building using digital close-range photogrammetry. The exploratory study can be categorized into four phases consist of Site Selection; Data Acquisition; Data Processing; and 3D Modelling. The 3D model generated from the photogrammetry software presents the result of the dense point clouds. The study could give fundamental guidelines on using a mobile device in digital close-range photogrammetry techniques. Keywords: Digital construction; traditional architecture, digital close-range photogrammetry, heritage documentation. eISSN: 2398-4287© 2020. The Authors.
