DIGITAL HERITAGE Rectified Photography

RECORDING A technique based on the concept of bringing the surface of an object, a

building facade, for example and the plane of the image into Parallel condition.
Rectification removes perspective angle and camera lens distortion and creates
a measurable image that is geometrically in proportion with the surface of the
facade. Image rectification can be carried out with or without measurement
As opposed to hand (or traditional) heritage recording, this type
of recording includes all forms of digital data capture, ranging
Point cloud control points on the object, with slight variations in accuracy and reliability.

It is defined as the activity of producing and storing on a computer

digital information, measured drawings, photographs, As-Built Record
A record consisting of updated conservation design drawings and
photogrammetric records, and other electronic data to form the
related reports that include modifications made during the
heritage record. These digital heritage records are designed to be conservation activity.

Manual Recording Techniques
Although often labor intensive, these techniques use tools that are
readily available and allow the study of buildings or sites in great

Computer-Aided Design and Drafting(CAD) detail. Usually this method of recording provides sufficient
information and accuracy to begin conservation. Manual recording
A software by which measurements, data, and images from multiple tools and methods techniques incorporate tools such as as plumb bobs, measuring

Computer Modelling
CAD is flexible enough to allow the user to produce quick, basic sketches as well as
drawings of great precision and details.
A software that porcesses XYZ coordinate points and builds up meshes that
can be formed into different shapes to represent building or site elements.
Ground Penetrating Radar ( GPR) Images of yhr actual physical elements are then “draped” or projected over the
surface of theses meshes

A nondestructive technique that uses electromagnetic waves to investigate the

Continuously Operating Reference Station ( CORS)
A network of RTK base stations that broadcast corrections usually over
an internet connection. Accuracy is increased in a CORS network
because more than one station helps ensure correct positioning and
guards against a false initialization of a single base station
Georeferenced
The process of assigning real world coordinates to each pixel of the
raster. Many times these coordinates are obtained by doing field
surveys-collecting coordinates with a GPS device for few easily
identifiable features in the image of map.

Geographic Information
System ( GIS)

An effective descriptive, analytical and

communication tool to map and assess sites
and prioritize necessary work. A GIS is a
geographic database that combines special
information in graphic form with tabular data
Grond Control Points (GCPs)
Are marked points on the ground that have known geographic location . In
aerial surveying ,a drone can be used to autonomously collect photos of
the survey area.
