Towards an easy-to-implement method of obtaining 3D models of historical wooden churches using a combination of modern techniques

Summary/Abstract: Modern 3D computer technologies allow for precise documentation of historic architectural objects by building digital 3D models. This article presents the use of 3D laser scanning (TLS) and photogrammetry for the 3D digitization of historical wooden churches in the Carpathian Region of Romania. It describes the methodology used to obtain digital mesh 3D models, from planning to data acquisition, processing, and integration of data from the two technologies. Particular emphasis is placed on avoiding cost increases and delays from non-terrestrial data acquisition. The article presents results using Orthodox churches in Creaca, Păniceni, Târgu șor, and Păusa (Cluj region, Transylvania). The results indicate that well-performed data integration allows for obtaining digital 3D models suitable for dissemination.
