| dc.description.abstract | This study explores the implication of
Terrestrial Laser Scan (TLS) technology in the field of
archaeological monument inventory, particularly for
architectural utilization. Traditional methods of data
collection, such as tape measurements and simple
instruments, are often laden with errors and are
labour-intensive. TLS is a faster, more accurate, and
non-invasive data collection technique, which can act
as a substitution for traditional methods that might
pose risks to the user during spatial data acquisition,
especially in structurally compromised sites. Its ability
to generate detailed three-dimensional (3D) data has
transformed spatial data collection. Light Detection
and Ranging (LiDAR) technology, integral to this
process, shows immense potential in gathering high
density information crucial for the architectural
conservation and renovation of ancient buildings. The
study investigated the specific data formats required
by architects in the renovation of ancient buildings.
The preference in data formats by the architects was
obtained via a questionnaire survey. The point cloud
data was analyzed to furnish accurate architectural
data on ancient buildings, facilitating their
renovation. The study provides the facade drawings
required for renovations, three-dimensional models,
and dimensions required for architectural renovation
in the selected site. In conclusion, the findings confirm
the
extensive application of TLS in digitally
documenting ancient buildings. Moreover, the study
contributes significantly to the field by providing
architects and conservationists with a reliable,
accurate, and efficient tool for heritage preservation. | en_US |
