Improving Heritage Documentation01/09/2007 |
|
| Turkey has a rich archaeological and cultural heritage. However, a lack of experts in terrestrial survey, combined with technical deficiencies, result in inadequate documentation of heritage sites. Poorly operated terrestrial survey-restoration, documentation and reconstruction works may degrade cultural heritage rather than conserve it. Photogrammetry and GIS provide an efficient solution, as evidenced by the present authors using Hurmalik Bath site at Patara as a case. | |

Photogrammetry is the science and technology of obtaining reliable and accurate measurements from images and so deducing the physical dimensions of objects and their surroundings. Measurements made from two or more images taken from different positions enable the determination of 3D coordinates of object points. Employing advanced technology, photogrammetry can be applied to produce maps. Precise measurements can be obtained from terrestrial photogrammetry with the support of highly trained personnel, which is why it is seldom used outside the academic environment. However, it is usually the unique solution to accurate measurement of inaccessible physical details on buildings.
