| Description [Methods]: | A reflectorless totalstation Topcon GPT-3003, a high-resolution Canon EOS digital camera with a pre-calibrated pixel size of 8μm and an IMAGER® 5010X with an add-on infrared sensor T-Cam laser scanner have been used for the 2D and 3D survey of the monument from the partner Z+F. The survey with 3D laser scanner and additional sensors (HDR-RGB and IR) were done inside, outside and under the wooden roof of the monument. HDR-RGB panoramas were captured from all scan positions. The interior of the building and sub-roof lighting conditions required the use of an additional flashlight (Z+F SmartLight) which is added on to the scanner allowing almost shade-less results. Consequently, the final survey results per scanned point had the following set of data: X, Y, Z, Texture, Temperature. The first pre-processing/cleaning phase of all data, as well as a first draft modelling of all the surveyed merged scans was done at the archaeological site. |
| Description [Abstract]: | Inscribed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1985, Asinou Church is one of ten monuments making up the Painted Churches in the Troodos Region, Cyprus. Dating from the 11th century, the church contains some of the finest Byzantine wall paintings worldwide. CUT and its partners undertook to record the monument not only to provide an HBIM reference model aiding conservators and architects in the maintenance and protection of the building but to engage audiences and cultural tourists with the history and significance of the site through incorporating both tangible and intangible heritage assets into compelling narratives using digital technologies.
