Accurate Metric Reconstructions of Historical Places Using Geomatics Techniques

In this paper, we are introducing new Geomatics techniques for building and assessing 3D models of historical places. The used techniques include Laser scanner, cellular phone images and 360° cameras. The used methodology in this work included building 3D models of historical place from point clouds, stereo images and images of 360° field of view. GPS and Total station were used to collect control points used for a matter of accuracy assessment of the developed models. The results indicated that using such new techniques give reliable results for historical places documentation, preservation and restoration.
