Abstract

Many historic buildings were dismounted by natural or human actions. Archaeological studies focusing on this kind of buildings are based on in-depth analysis of on-site elements as well as fragments conserved in several places (sites, deposits, museums, etc.). This situation gives to virtual reconstruction the great interest of bringing back all the elements in the same space, thus allowing researchers to carry out a digital study of the building. Based on several surveying and representation techniques (3D laser scanning, photogrammetry, semantic structuring, image-based texturing, etc.), this research experience illustrates a complete methodology for the virtual assembling of dismounted architectures (from building parts to decoration elements) applied to the study of the Saint-Guilhem-le-Désert cloister, in France.
