3D measurement and evaluation in the field of monument protection
We face special challenges in the field of monument protection and conservation. Not only are we required to always record architectural monuments, historic old towns, historic ensembles and complexes completely and in high resolution, but we are also obliged to meet the high accuracy requirements of monument protection.
The basis for the renovation and conversion of existing historic buildings is an accurate planning basis. This also applies to documentation (damage) in the field of conservation and protection of monuments. In addition to digital plans and building sections, they also include full-scale, high-resolution facade views.
We measure complex structures, digitize historical inventories and document the current condition both three-dimensionally and as high-resolution measurement images. We always use the latest technical aids such as drones, calibrated cameras, state-of-the-art workstations, GPS rovers, total stations and, of course, 3D laser scanners.
Results of a 3D measurement and documentation in the monument protection zone
We compute 3D point clouds from the raw recorded data. The point cloud is already the result of a 3D measurement or 3D inventory. The high density of the point cloud allows the representation of complex objects as well as surface structures.
Dimensions can be taken from the point cloud, measured distances or formed areas. In addition, other results such as geo-referenced orthophotos, facade views and 3D terrain models as well as height models can be obtained. In CAD modelling, the point cloud is used as a building block to create 3D models, as-built plans, floor plans (with/without orthophotos), sections (longitudinal and cross sections), views and facade plans.
Digitisation of cultural goods
The wave of digitisation can be felt in almost all areas of the economy, and the digitisation of cultural goods is more popular than ever. On the one hand, valuable cultural assets, historic buildings, monuments and complex free forms need to be recorded, documented, catalogued and archived. The digital data recorded and processed also forms a basis for planning renovation measures and reconstruction.
On the other hand, highly detailed 3D scans with high-resolution textures can ideally be used to transform cultural assets in the virtual world. For example, once a historic city district or listed object is scanned in three dimensions and in colour, it is available in digital form and can be used in an incredibly versatile way. The current state is saved after scanning and can be kept for eternity. Further processing of 3D data can take place at any time in the future.
