Cultural heritage modelling using UAV photogrammetric methods: a case study of Kanlıdivane archeological site
Keywords:
Cultural heritage, UAV, 3D model, KanlıdivaneAbstract
Turkey has hosted many civilizations throughout history. Therefore, it has a diverse cultural heritage inventory. Atmospheric conditions, natural disasters and unconscious people constantly damage the structures. It is vital to document the artifacts in such circumstances in order to conserve them and transfer them to the future generations. Cultural heritage protection, preserving these assets and transmitting them to the future generations are the human duty. Remote sensing techniques such as unmanned aerial vehicle is a very beneficial tool to obtain information without touching the object. Kanlıdivane archeological site hosts many ancient buildings. Within the scope of this study, the UAV photogrammetry method was used to create the 3D point data and solid model of the Monumental Tomb of Aba built in the 2nd century AD, located in the Kanlıdivane region of Mersin province in Turkey. Images were taken with Parrot Anafi HDR unmanned aerial vehicle and a 3D model was produced. Detailed length, area, volume and coordinate measurements were made on the model obtained and verified with Agisoft Metashape and Context capture. Floor perimeter, floor area and volume of the monumental tomb are also presented in the results section. These findings can be used in restoration in future.
