Therefore the set of interior orientation parameters provided with the reference data set was used for the present work. For the same 
reason, the acquired model lacks of visual realism, emphasis being rather put on functional aspects for robotics missions. According 
to potential goals of the reconstruction work, the possible solutions could lean towards the integration of texture extraction and 
mapping functions on the visible surfaces, or towards the insertion in the structured model of fine details such as sculptures locally 
acquired using telemetry measurements. 
However the top-down approach implemented in Pyramide interactive 3-D modelling system was quite successful to deliver a 
structured and detailed model of the test building using only four views. It is essentially due to its particular efficiency to exploit the 
high degree of structuration available in most of architectural sites. This approach is well suited to the modelling of the environment 
structured part, and its mixing with other techniques better adapted to the modelling of complex shapes constitutes a promising 
continuation to this work.
