A processing for digitizing historical architecture

Abstract

This study describes a process for digitizing 3D documentation with 3d laser scanner tools. The process of capturing 3D data is mainly for as-built environment in reconstruction and documentation of historical scenes. For retrieving the 3d shape of historical building, the workflow needs to be developed in terms of 3D data acquisition, 3D modeling, documentation and web-based representation. For practical demonstration, several cases present the reconstructed results and the application of virtual scene. These practical cases were applied the technique solution to approach digitizing tasks of preservation for cultural heritage, which could evoke more heritage preservation issues. © 2010 Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg.
