Digital scan of the Arts High School of Timisoara
(Facades and roof)
About the Project
The Arts High School of Timișoara was also known as the former high school Israelite of the city. Due to the visible state of degradation a of the building, it was taken out of operation.
The objective of the project was to get the most accurate visualization of the existing situation and the generation a working support for possible restoration interventions.
About the Process
The scan of the Arts High School was carried out via laser scanning and photogrammetry performed from ground level as well as with the help of the drone. The two scanning processes were carried out at a high level of precision. Photographic and laser data were gathered from all areas of the building such as: facades located at main streets, inner courtyard areas, hard to-reach areas, balconies, framework.
Based on laser and photogrammetric scans, the model was generated as a mesh model, but also in the form of a point cloud. Plans, sections and views were generated based on the model which manage to accurately reproduce the reality of the existing building.
Quantifiable Date
• Number of laser scanning stations: 125
• Number of photos taken, ground level and by drone (total): 2000
• Processing the data resulting from the scan (cloud of points, mesh, texture): 100 hours
• Post-processing: 150 hours
• External mesh - 1.1 billion polygons
• Architectural pieces: plans: 3 / sections: 13 / views (facades): 19
