Abstract:
Heritage 3D digitization is a research topic undertaken by a broad community of scientists and policy makers. One of the technological solutions chosen are Faro Focus laser scanners. 3D digitization is carried out according to the unified procedure using device-dedicated software. The sequential nature of this procedure and the features of dedicated software prevent the full potential of the supported hardware from being used. Optimization is possible at the stage of process allocation for many digitization tasks. We propose the software pipeline and its simple optimization, that allows to overcome at least some of these challenges. Validation was performed on 3D scans of three Romanian wooden churches. The proposed approach allowed the production of high-quality 3D models. Optimization, despite simplicity, showed a noteworthy effect in the case of processing 3D scans of a number of objects.
