3D Digitization of a monument
Under the scope of INTERREG ΙΙΙ A / PHARE CBC – “Cooperation network for knowledge dissemination on 3D digitiza-tion applications” project, staff of the Department traveled to South Bulgaria accompanied by the Bulgarian partners in order to exchange information on 3D digitization of large scale monuments and to proceed to a case-study digitization of a monuments that dates back to the Byzantine era.
Time-of-flight was used as the principal method for the 3D digitization by using an Optech ILRIS3D scanning device.
The travel was a big success, the Bulgarian partners were very hospitable, the little village named ‘Kosovo’ in the mountainous area absolutely picturesque and the monument great for our case-study.
