Abstract:
Heritage preservation is the active conservation of cultural assets, historic structures and buildings of a specific cultural group. This paper presents a methodology for the 3D reconstruction of large scale cultural assets, such as buildings using photogrammetry, which is a way to get measurements of objects from a set of photographs. The present study uses images from small scale unmanned aircraft systems (UAS) for the 3D reconstruction of the “Palacete da Babilônia”. The study case presented here is a historical building from 1866, located in the Military School of Rio de Janeiro whose complex also includes a historical museum.The experimental setup used three mini drones in addition to flight mission planning and execution application evaluation.The final reconstruction used off-the-shelf software to generate the 3D model reconstruction, model adjustments finishing with the 3D printing of the model generated for the preservation of this historic construction.
