Abstract

A reconstruction of historical and modern building objects is often based on the fact that the as-built documentation is not accurate, is not actual or even does not exist. At present, technology of terrestrial laser scanning and aerial photogrammetry using drones can serve as effective and progressive tools in the area of 3D spatial digitization of buildings and their geometric dimensions. Both technologies offer the same result called point cloud—detailed 3D representation of building in a digital environment. One of advantage is connectivity of both results into one result. Terrestrial laser scanner is a great tool for measuring existing buildings, but what is not visible for him cannot be scanned. Scanning of some surfaces of roof structures or metallic surfaces can be problem for terrestrial laser scanner and for person’s safety handling with it. In this case, drone can serve a complementary technology for laser scanning or can replace laser scanning completely. The aim of this paper is to find out the advantages and disadvantages of these two technologies through a real example. For scanning, the building of Faculty of Civil Engineering, located in Kosice, Slovakia, was chosen.
