Busts and Statues of Timisoara

About the Project

All cities, historic or not, have a rich collection of busts, statues or statuary objects representing local or national heroes. Wanting to test pure photogrammetric scanning techniques and generate 3D models with some of these heroes, we set out to do some short experiments for two of the local targets. In the attached images are the results of the experiments for the statue of Gheorghe Doja and the bust of Eugeniu de Savoya.

About the Process

The scan was carried out strictly photogrammetric by taking pictures from the ground and from the drone. The results obtained in the processing stage were very convincing, having a very high degree of fidelity to the real objects in the field.

Quantifiable Data

Field data collection (photos and laser stations): 30 min/target
Number of pictures: 200-400
Processing of the data resulting from the scan (point-cloud, mesh, texture): 1 hour
