- Abstract:
- The conservation management of cultural heritage sites is essential for preserving their historical significance, in which documentation plays a crucial role. Photogrammetry is commonly used in documenting cultural heritage assets, which is a technique that utilizes 2D images to create accurate 3D Models of sites or artifacts. Advancements in open-source software and affordable cameras have made photogrammetry an ideal tool for documenting and visualizing cultural heritage properties compared to other complicated and expensive tools (e.g., 3D laser scanning). This paper explores the role of photogrammetry in the conservation management of Al Mahatta Museum in Sharjah, UAE. The study reviewed related work and investigated how photogrammetry early results can be used as a monitoring tool to identify material deteriorations, enhance the accessibility of information, and facilitate collaboration among different stakeholders. The methodology involved capturing thousands of stereo-pair images, to build a 3D model and ortho-mosaic images. The results demonstrate the potential use of early results of photogrammetry in conservation management. Limitations, such as large data processing, camera resolution, and altitude challenges are also discussed with considerations of improvement.
