Image based modeling and documentation of Malaysian historical monuments using Digital Close-Range Photogrammetry (DCRP)

Abstract

Image based modeling and documentation are become important elements in historical or heritage representation. As an alternative method, The Digital Close-Range Photogrammetry approach offers a manual and semi automatic measurement process to provide the digital base drawing for creating the three dimensional (3D) model. In addition, differential rectified images of the three research objects have been generated. In this paper overall view of measurement method, visualization and modeling are presented. Finally a precise and an accurate 3D model output with a digital visualization of various angle model, viewing side plan and three dimensional models was generated.
