CIPA 2003 XIX th International Symposium, 30 September - 04 October, 2003, Antalya, Turkey
(Pomaska, 2002). Calculation is clicked on the
toolbar. Image files are selected one by one. First,
single image orientations are made. Then, single
image orientations are made. Then, two image files
are clicked simultaneously for multi image
orientation. This is followed by multi-image
orientation of three, four, ... files. For each group,
results are displayed. If there are problematic points,
they are detected and calculation is repeated.
6. Images are measured. This includes the definition of
three dimensional points and polylines on the
elevation surfaces. In other words, three dimensional
points and three dimensional polylines that have key
importance for the definition of the elevation surface
are measured. This process includes the clicking of
the same point or line on all related images in
sequence. After the selection of a point on the first
image, "epipolar lines" help the identification of the
same point on the other two images. Then, compute
command is chosen. According to the decided scale of
the end-drawing, the limit of delta values that is to be
accepted at the end of computation is decided on. In
this project, 2 cm has been taken as the limit. This
means the acceptance of measurement mistakes upto
0.5 mm in 1 to 50 scale (Figure 4).
7. Measured points and polylines are transformed to
CAD environment. "DXF transfer" on the toolbar is
clicked. A dialogue box opens. The extension of the
source file is selected as ".POO", and that of target
file is selected as ".DXF". "3D Interface" is checked.
Finally, "preview and transfer" is clicked. Then,
autocad program is turned on. The folder with DXF
extension is opened. Three dimensional view is
clicked under the view option. Coordinates of similar
points such as comers of column bases are compared
with each other to detect problems. If the values are
very different from each other, then there is a problem
in the transformation. It should be repeated. Since the
east facade of Defensionskaseme is worked under
three sub-parts, the transformation should be carried
out for each part separately. This necessitates the
transformation of a single part first. Then, the autocad
file including the transferred data is saved with a
different name. All data except the information about
coordinate system and rotation are erased. The
transformed data related with the second part is
copied here. The first part is also copied. The process
is repeated for the third part.

5. PRODUCTION OF 3D MODEL
The strategy was to visualise the monument at its present state.
Therefore, a problem of visual reality was faced with. 3D model
was created in autocad environment on the basis of the
photogrammetric survey. This 3D model was processed in
various ways so as to produce textured model, etc.
6. IMAGE RECTIFICATION
Image processing procedures for warping an electronic image
on the basis of the geometric principles so that the perspective is
controlled and an orthogonal image is achieved at the end are
known in photogrammetry as rectifications. By the help of
rectification, a lot of details can be mapped in a very fast way
(Pomaska, 1998). While applying the rectification technique,
the following points should be considered: A single tilted photo
and four control points are enough to rectify a scaled image. But
it is better to take photographs of building elevations as much
perpendicular as possible to the elevations. Evaluating only the
central part of the image also increases the accuracy of the
result. Another important point is the organization of image
series. Images taken from a single building elevation should
define different planes of the elevation. In other words, a special
rectification is necessary for every plane at different depths. It is
impossible to rectify an object surface that is not a flat plane
(Grussenmeyer, et all, 2002). Series of rectified images of a
building surface can be assembled in two basic ways. These are
ortho-imaging and texture mapping.
Rectified images are brought together in an image processing
software to produce ortho-images (ortho-photos). Ortho-image
of a building elevation is a combined photo of the elevation
without any perspective. If rectified images are assembled so as
to cover up a simplified 3D model of a building, then a textured
3D model is produced. Model simplification is found necessary
since it is difficult to prepare a separate rectification for every
building element. This simplification involves the definition of
some basic geometric planes on the model surfaces. The
rectification applications carried out in Defensionskaseme are
explained in the below.
6.1 Ortho-imaging
In the study, Rolleimetric MSR and Photoshop are used for the
process. The Rolleimetric MSR software package
(http://www.rolleimetric.de) provides scaled representations of
existing objects on the basis of rectified digital images. Images
taken with medium format camera are used. The strategy was to
produce an overview of the east elevation and a detail of the
same elevation. For the overview, the elevation was abstracted
to five basic planes whose depths varied. These planes are
named as left comer, left wing, entrance, right wing and right
comer. The architectural elements such as pilasters, pilaster
bases, window sills, etc. obviously present varieties in their
depths. But these are considered as the same for the rectification
of the overview. Depending on these decisions, the metric
images were reduced in size using Photoshop and saved as PSD
files. Then, coordinates of the comers of the planes were
introduced to MSR by clicking data-data editor-plane editor on
the toolbar.
Here, camera data were also entered. Then, measure - plane
points is selected. The comers of the planes were marked one by
