Abstract:
The rehabilitation of photogrammetry in researches and studies about cultural heritage has been possible thanks to the development of the digital photography. With the evolution of the digital photographic equipments and so the overcoming of the analogic shooting, now the application field of the digital photogrammetry is wide and varied.
The study presented shows how the Structure from Motion (SfM) can achieve high level of details, in relation of the shooting equipment used. The Micro-Photogrammetry, used during a survey campaign in Cappadocia – Central Anatolia, has constituted an additional and completing part of the studies, allowing both the completion of the study on the conservation state of the object and improving new ways for the screening of the study object.
In the case study reported, on the rupestrian residential systems (the World Heritage Site of Göreme), has permitted an easy study and learning on the manufacturing of the inner surface of the rooms and has provided, through the production of 3D models, an analysis on the equipments and instruments used for these kind of manufacturing.
The study shows significant results and various possibilities on the multi-disciplinary methodology of study in complex subject, like the rupestrian architecture. Moreover the results of the manufacturing process has been investigated and the performance is expounding showing the level of detail obtained on each sample. The whole of this study shows an innovative framework on the SfM technique and creates new ways of dialogue between the interested researchers on the topic of the study and conservation of cultural heritage; never forgetting the possibility and the opportunity to create and share the state of art with a specific database for the future generation of researchers.
