“…These examples highlight methods, applications, and the wide range of different uses of these technologies. There are now many projects utilising these methods for three dimensional (3D) documentation of built heritage and archaeological sites (Haddad, ; Dellepiane, Dell'Unto, Callieri, Lindgren, & Scopigno, ; Fiorillo, Fernández‐Palacios, Remondino, & Barba, ; Remondino, ), and there are some examples of where these techniques have been specifically applied to palaeontological sites (see Bates et al, ; Breithaupt, Matthews, & Noble, ; Falkingham, Bates, & Farlow, ), but their use is more common in the geotechnical and geological industry (Abellán, Vilaplana, & Martínez, ; Armesto, Ordóñez, Alejano, & Arias, ; Sturzenegger & Stead, ; Vanneschi, Salvini, Massa, Riccucci, & Borsani, ). Their limited application at palaeontological sites thus far is due to the need for specialist operators and the expense of laser scanning equipment.…”

This paper presents the results of a recent three-dimensional (3D) survey at the Drimolen Makondo palaeontological deposits in the Hominid Sites of South Africa UNESCO World Heritage site. The Drimolen Makondo is a palaeokarstic feature that consists of a heavily eroded 2.6-2.0 Ma fossil-bearing palaeocave remnant. With photogrammetry and a laser scan survey, two 3D site models were created, georectified, and imported into geographical information system software. This paper outlines both of these survey techniques and provides an assessment of the relevant merits of each method and their applicability for detailed recording and archival documentation of palaeokarstic palaeontological and archaeological sites. Given the complex depositional context of many of the fossil-bearing South African cave systems and their importance for understanding our evolutionary history, new methods are critical to visualising and analysing 3D spatial data. The utility of 3D models lies in their ability to integrate with total station survey techniques to accurately record and control excavations and provide a means of visualising stratigraphic, sedimentary, and spatial contexts in various geographical information system platforms. The use of low-cost and time-efficient digital photographic surveys to create accurate 3D models, if completed accurately, can provide researchers with a means of contextualising excavation data without the need for expensive and highly specialised equipment.The development of this method combined with differential global positioning systems provides a solution in more remote locations to recording highly accurate fossil and 3D site contexts with increasing ease. It also allows the sites to be recorded as part of an evolving landscape rather than as single isolated localities. This technique should be a standard technique implemented when working on irreplaceable UNESCO World Heritage sites such as the hominin-bearing caves of South Africa.

“…As a result of increasing computer speed and capabilities and improving acquisition techniques such as laser scanning and photo modelling, 3D models are becoming more and more common in several fields of research (Arav et al, 2014;Siebert & Teizer, 2014;Vanneschi et al, 2014). Consequently, the need arises to use these models for more than just documentation purposes.…”

Abstract:Acquisition techniques such as photo modelling, using SfM-MVS algorithms, are being applied increasingly in several fields of research and render highly realistic and accurate 3D models. Nowadays, these 3D models are mainly deployed for documentation purposes. As these data generally encompass spatial data, the development of a 3D GIS would allow researchers to use these 3D models to their full extent. Such a GIS would allow a more elaborate analysis of these 3D models and thus support the comprehension of the objects that the features in the model represent. One of the first issues that has to be tackled in order to make the resulting 3D models compatible for implementation in a 3D GIS is the choice of a certain geometric primitive to spatially represent the input data. The chosen geometric primitive will not only influence the visualisation of the data, but also the way in which the data can be stored, exchanged, manipulated, queried and understood. Geometric primitives can be one-, two-and three-dimensional. By adding an extra dimension, the complexity of the data increases, but the user is allowed to understand the original situation more intuitively. This research paper tries to give an initial analysis of 1D, 2D and 3D primitives in the framework of the integration of SfM-MVS based 3D models in a 3D GIS.
