this work and thus, not much similar works may be found in the
Cultural Heritage literature.
From another point of view, the person responsible of the
heritage in the local city council with the experts that w'ork at
his office can now sustain their work on a complete, accurate
and detailed model of the wall. Consequently, the preservation
and restoration of this object is better assured than ever before.
The possibility of deriving novel graphic and infographic
products amplifies the set of applications further than the
effective decision taking to protect the monument and including
aspects such as historical analysis, tourism or dissemination in
the Internet.
Regarding to future perspectives and trying to reinforce the
quality control of the global model, a precision and reliability
control should be added. To this end. the cofactor matrix of the
parameters and residuals should be estimated based on the error
propagation law.

Acknowledgements
The authors of this work would like to thank all those persons
that worked in this project and contributed in a major or minor
way to the accomplishment of this “pharaonic” project. From
the students of the University of Salamanca that worked at the
data acquisition and processing to the Fire Brigade of Avila that
facilitate the access to difficult or risky parts of the wall. We
would like to specially thank the city council and particularly,
its Heritage and Urbanism department, for their active and
permanent contribution to sustaining our most precious public
wealth: the Wall of Avila.
