PRACTICAL IMPLEMENTATION OF PHOTOGRAMMETRY FOR THE MODELLING OF A CYLINDRICAL HISTORICAL BUILDING

This work deals with the image capture for close-range photogrammetry in the context of the modelling of a round tower with repetitive texture (made of bricks), both inside and outside. For that purpose we test different acquisition strategies that differ in terms of camera path (straight or circular) and number of images acquired at each camera position, that is with or without oblique images. Besides, the formula to compute the curvilinear base according to a given overlap rate between successive frontal photos are written for each strategy. The comparisons rely on the observation of the aspect of the different dense point clouds (noise, holes), the deformation seen in the orthomosaics and values extracted from the photogrammetric projects such as metric accuracies with GCP. Our results confirm some art rules.
