3d Modeling and Visualization of Large Cultural Heritage Sites at Very High Resolution: the Bamiyan Valley and Its Standing Buddhas

چکیده
In this paper we present the modeling and visualization of the cultural heritage area of Bamiyan, Afghanistan. The region is situated ca 200 km north-west of Kabul and it was one of the major Buddhist centres until the ninth century AD. The two standing Buddhas belonged to some of the most famous Buddhist monuments world-wide. In 2001 they were destroyed through an act of vandalism by the Taleban militia. In our previous reports we have already presented the 3D computer reconstruction of the Great Buddha while in this contribution we will describe the terrain modeling of the surrounding area from satellite images, the 3D reconstruction of the entire rock cliff of Bamiyan and the modeling of the two empty niches where the Buddha statues once stood.

متن کامل3D modeling and visualization of Cultural Heritage sites from high-resolution satellite imagery
Today different satellites provide imagery with high potentials for applications in various fields of geomatics (e.g. DTM extraction, topographic mapping, GIS applications, Cultural Heritage documentation). The ground resolution of the satellite scenes is constantly increasing and the scenes can be acquired world-wide in different radiometric modes. In this contribution we present the modeling ...

متن کاملNew Technologies for Efficent Large Site Modeling
The recording and 3D modeling of large Cultural Heritage sites is currently receiving much attention. This has two main reasons. On the one hand UNESCO pays more attention to large cultural and natural sites and on the other hand we have a wide array of new technologies available which greatly support the efficient generation, administration and analysis of such models. Data from highresolution...
