The Use of Photogrammetric Techniques in Documenting Cultural Heritage: The Example of Aksaray Selime Sultan Tomb

Abstract

Forming 3 dimensional models of the existing historical buildings and objects has a great importance in terms of conserving historical works, sustaining our history, and being able to transfer them to the next generations. For catching the fine geometrical views and details and digitally modelling, it is important to identify a suitable method. It is necessary to digitally record, document, and conserve our cultural assets due to still ongoing wars, natural disasters, and climatic changes. The simplest way for permanently storing the original form and location of historical works with high quality views and details in digital media, forming base for the different projects, and making ready for use, if necessary, is to model the works in 3 dimensions. Beginning from the increase of importance to historical works, in parallelism with this, the importance and sorts of documentation also have begun to increase. Among the existing documentation methods, the method that is suitable to work in metric (via measurement), visual (photographing) and digital (computerized) media and appropriate in terms of time, space, and cost is photogrammetry. In forming and documenting 3 dimensional model of Selime Sultan Tomb located near Ihlara Valley, two different kinds of software of photogrammetric assessment were used.

Usability of terrestrial laser technique in forest management planning

“…With the laser beam emitted from the laser scanner device, the distance between the object and the device is measured. Thus, the point cloud of the scanning area can be obtained and three (3D) models of the desired object can be produced (Çelik et al, 2020;Ulvi et al, 2019). The distance between the laser scanning device and the object can be determined by means of the optical source, which is called the laser beam (Yakar et al, 2015).…”

Orthophoto production and accuracy analysis with UAV photogrammetry

“…In addition, it performs scene modeling with bundle adjustment by mapping details on multiple images taken with specific ratios of overlap [23][24][25]. Earth science, especially in recent years [26,27], geomorphology analysis [28], agriculture [29], and archaeology [30], the SFM technique is widely used in applications such as high-resolution images that allow you to work on a low-cost, and easy-to-use is the application of photogrammetry [31,32].…”

Diyarbakır Mardin Kapı’nın Yersel Fotogrametri Yöntemiyle 3B Belgelenmesi

“…Kültürel miras alanları hem kültür turizmi açısından hem de bu alanlarda devam eden bilimsel çalışmalar açısından büyük önem taşımaktadır [2]. Kültürel miraslar somut, somut olmayan ve doğal miras olarak üç başlık altında incelenebilir [3]. Arkeolojik alanlarda bulunan nesnelerin üretildiği malzemeler o günün koşullarını bize aktarırken, resim, heykel gibi sanatsal yapılar da geçmiş yüzyıllardan günümüze bir mesaj niteliğindedir.…”
