Terrestrial Laser Scanning and Low-cost Aerial Photogrammetry in the Archaeological Modeling of a Jewish Tanneries

In this paper an integrated approach for modeling complex archaeological sites is developed. Particularly, we describe a 3D modeling pipeline which integrates laser scanning and low-cost Photogrammetry over an emblematic Jewish tanneries situated in Avila (Spain). Due to its inherent complexity and the relevance of the archaeological site, Jewish tanneries constitute a perfect framework to put in practise our methodology: from the recording and reconstruction to the final interactive visualization. This multi-sensor approach would give the possibility to improve the quality of the models, without acquisition of extra laser scanner data, but using 2D images as additional source of 3D geometry based on a single image-based approach.
