5 CONCLUSIONS 
This project has shed light to several issues concerning the 3-D visualisation process. As far as the data sources are 
concerned it has been established that both vector and raster raw data may be exploited to serve the needs of such an 
application. Non-metric old amateur photographs have proven invaluable, because they convey rich qualitative 
information about the reality to be represented. This becomes even more significant for those cases that the object does 
not exist any more. Modern software packages enable the integration of data from radically different data sources. 
Digital photogrammetric techniques play an important role to visualisation applications by minimising the processing 
times and by allowing the representation of non existing objects but captured on old resources. Finally, such outputs as 
the produced visualisation can be used as strong promoting media for the reconstruction efforts in cases of destroyed 
settlements or other similar projects.
