Terrestrial laser scanning for cultural heritage documentation : case study : the Old Palace, Seri Menanti
Cheong Siew Chin, Ong Chee Wei et al.
Over the years, modern 3D data collection techniques show significant improvements in resolution and accuracy. In recent years, the numbers of cultural heritage buildings documented by using modern three-dimensional (3D) surveying technologies have improved greatly. The case study historical building is The Old Palace, Seri Menanti, the royal capital of the state of Negeri Sembilan, Malaysia. The Istana served as the official residence of the royal family until 1931, before it was converted to a Royal Museum in 1992. The need of documented the existing high historical value structure was foreseen in United Nation Educational Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO). In this project, terrestrial laser scanner is used to capture this cultural heritage building data. This study using terrestrial laser scanner (TLS) to capture 3D range information to generate 3D building models. Creation of heritage building model for conservation purposes and the realization of 3D Virtual Model of historical for viewer were concerned by researcher, academician and all related industries. One of the major purposes is to increase the effectiveness on information distribution to the public, through visualization dissemination. The development of laser scanner technology address the market needs in producing 3D model. The advancement of modelling techniques using point clouds further expand the possibility of using 3D laser scanner towards the development of higher Level of Detail (LoD) building modelling. This study discussed the inputs from terrestrial laser scanner to succeed the 3D cultural heritage building modelling while the focus of this study will be on the investigation of using TLS for the development of heritage documentation.
