Heritage Recording and 3D Modeling with Photogrammetry and 3D Scanning

Abstract

Abstract:The importance of landscape and heritage recording and documentation with optical remote sensing sensors is well recognized at international level. The continuous development of new sensors, data capture methodologies and multi-resolution 3D representations, contributes significantly to the digital 3D documentation, mapping, conservation and representation of landscapes and heritages and to the growth of research in this field. This article reviews the actual optical 3D measurement sensors and 3D modeling techniques, with their limitations and potentialities, requirements and specifications. Examples of 3D surveying and modeling of heritage sites and objects are also shown throughout the paper.

“…When a proper acquisition planning and execution is carried out, the two techniques are able to provide high quality results (Beraldin et al, 2011;Douglass et al, 2015;Remondino, 2011). Critical and limiting factors that may negatively affect the produced outcomes have been deeply investigated (Barsanti et al, 2014;Menna et al, 2016;Remondino et al, 2013).…”

“…Moreover, scientific and historical-archaeological research should also take care, in many cases, of budget limitation, portability and flexibility of the modelling technique and, finally, it has to assure a user-friendly way for information visualization and dissemination. Selecting the most appropriate 3D modelling technique to satisfy all these requirements is not an easy task (Remondino, 2006): many contributions have been dedicated to review and compare various acquisition systems (Grussenmeyer, 2006;Remondino, 2011) and to classify surface reconstruction and measurement techniques (Remondino, 2006). There is no universal terrestrial laser scanner system that can achieve all documentation applications; however, in cultural heritage documentation, the most used and useful instruments are those based on the optical triangulation method (Fontana, 2006).…”

“…On the other hand, the metric quality and accuracy of the digital surface models (DSMs) becomes essential for guarantying the reliability of the data acquisition method and ensuring a high degree of detail for research and documentation purposes. 3D modeling is currently one of the most active research area in photogrammetry, computer vision and graphic fields (Remondino, 2011): three-dimensional digital models are essential elements in many applications such as closerange/archaeological survey, entertainment, navigation and automated systems, object identification, visualisation and animation. Recently it has become a very important and fundamental activity in particular for CH digital archiving making possible the documentation of damaged and notaccessible assets, interaction without risk of damage, development of museums virtual tourism and new educational experiences.…”

“…Following this, the possibility of fruition of the Heritage is a main concern for the institution in charge of the management of our past because it allows everyone to be involved in the process of preservation. The use of 3D reality based technologies for documenting and preserving Cultural Heritage has been widely used since decades because of their accuracy and precision in the documentation (Remondino, 2011;Gonizzi et al, 2013). Despite the large diffusion and use of these technologies, 3D products do not fully accomplish their potential until they are not used to interactively communicate their significance to nonspecialists (Canevese, Gottardo, 2017).…”
