3D modelling of cultural heritage objects using video technology

Abstract

In the paper, the process of creating 3D models of St. Anne’s Church’s facades is described. Some examples of architectural structures inside of St. Anne’s Church’s are presented. Video data were acquired with the fixed focal length lens f = 16 mm. It allowed to determine interior orientation parameters in a calibration process and to remove an influence of distortion. 3D models of heritage objects were generated using the Topcon Image Master software. The process of 3D model creating from video data involved the following steps: video frames selection for the orientation process, orientation of video frames using points with known coordinates from Terrestrial Laser Scanning, wireframe and TIN model generation. In order to assess the accuracy of the developed 3D models, points with known coordinates from Terrestrial Laser Scanning were used. The accuracy analysis showed that the accuracy of 3D models generated from video images is ±0.05 m.[b]Keywords[/b]: terrestrial photogrammetry, video, terrestrial laser scanning, 3D model, heritage objects
