1.5 External Wall Numerical
Data Processing
A very good conformance between the exter-
nal wall numerical data obtained from
photograph and the rebuilt cenotaph design
specification based on the basic design
was ascertained.
As can be seen from the contour map, the
existing cenotaph has very well retained
the symmetrical shape. On the basis of
these two observations, the designer came
to the conclusion to use the existing
shape of the cenotaph without modifica-
tion, as the exterior shape of the rebuilt
cenotaph.
However, the numerical photogrammetry data
consists of height values at randomly
selected positions which was defective as
the data for 3-dimensional representation
of perspective views, etc.
To overcome this shortcoming,therefore,
the height at all the intersections of a
uniformly spaced grid set on the X-Y plane
(10cm interval in X direction and 30em, in
Y direction) were calculated by Lagrange's
interpolation.
1.6 Generation of Perspective View
Perspective views are generated on the
basis of the grid data for the exterior
and interior wall surfaces. To allow the
designer to recognize the shape of the
object, 3-dimensional shapes are displayed
on the graphic display screen with the
effective combined use of the existing
system possessing ordinary display fune-
tions and a newly developed personal
computer system adapted to special data
processing. For more closer comprehension
of the shape, detailed drawing wee plotted
on an X-Y. plotter at a precision of
o0.1mm.
After thorough visual examination from
various angles, the designer arrived at
the following conclusions:
(1) Interior Wall Surface Shape
The interior wall surface shape formed in
accordance with the rebuilt cenotaph basic
plan was fully in conformance with the
designer's concept and no modification was
needed.
(2)Exterior Wall Surface Shape
As a result of the comprehensive observa-
tion in combination with the interior wall
surface shape and examination, no modifi-
cation was found necessary.
1.7 Generation of Numerical Data
for Erection
In the course of erection, wood patterns
must be made before quarrying. For making
wood patterns, numerical data are required
for the exterior and interior wall sur-
faces at each grid (30 cm in both X and Y
directions) and for the masonry joint
surfaces. The photos show numerical photos
prepared by the CAD system for the quarry-
ing planning and checking.
1.8 Discussion
To measure the exterior and interior wall
surface shapes of the existing cenotaph,
the terrestrial photogrammetry was adopted
and in rebuilding the cenotaph to deter-
mine the modified interior wall surface
shape sulting to. the concept of the de-
signer, the CAD system was utilized.
The use of Photogrammetry was advantageous
in the measurement of the shape of the
existing cenotaph, particularly in the
following respects:
(1) The 3-dimensional shape of the ceno-
taph was accurately and precisely measured
and numerically represented.
(2) Because of the many visitors during
the daytime, the cenotaph was not accessi-
ble for measurement. The orientation pints
were set and measured during the night and
the photographing was executed in early
morning and in the evening when visitors
were are scarce. The Photogrammetry al-
lowed substantial reduction of site-work
time compared with the conventional sur-
veying.
(3) The obtained images on photographic
dry plates or film can be stored for later
restoration and further reading of 3-
dimensional data. Especially with the
cenotaph which is a historical monumental
object, this feature of data record stor-
age is of special advantages.
The use of the CAD system in the shape
determination of the rebuilt cenotaph was
advantageous mainly in the following re-
spects:
(1) Isometric projeetion
The 3-dimensional display, perspective
views and the slid models formed on the
basis of the grids data as derived from
the photogrammetrically obtained exterior
shape and arbitrarily determined interior
surface curves at the top area allowed
easy comprehension and decision of the
shape to the designer.
(2) The joint use of a new CAD system
based on personal computers with the
existing system reduced the expense and
time of the process.
