Abstract

In this paper, an overview of image-based 3D modeling techniques applied to Cultural Heritage objects will be given. In two case studies we present various sensors, acquisition configurations and platforms for image acquisition and describe the image processing workflow. Additionally, actual and future developments and trends such as further automation of image processing and the combination of image-based techniques with data acquired by other sensors will be discussed. In this paper, we focus on those image-based techniques that aim for 3D reconstruction of objects and terrain from multi-image processing, though for several applications other image-based techniques can be an option as well, e.g. the generation of façade plans from single images or structured light systems for small objects and accuracies in the range of less than 100 μm.
