Abstract

In all cultural heritage studies is essential to have a detailed geometric documentation. The recording of geometric information (type, location, shape, geometry, texture and size of a monument) is the main stage in studies rehabilitation, reconstruction, maintenance, restoration and exploitation. Both, the use of terrestrial laser scanner and the photogrammetric surveying method constitute an alternative method and more modern techniques of geometric documentation of monuments relative to classical topographic method. This thesis study aims geometric documentation of Virgin Mary Chryseleousis in Emba with the combination of topographic and photogrammetric surveying methods and the use of terrestrial laser scanner. The study mainly focuses on the theoretical background of these methods and the presentation of the methodology followed in such studies. The main stages of the study are displayed through the process of gathering data in the field to the processing and export of finished products. Additionally, the presented results have emerged and made some comparisons as to the degree of ease of implementation of each method, the accuracy that can be achieved, the reliability of the results and required costs (equipment and software), that take place in complete study. Finally, it presents the main problems have been addressed as well as some concluding remarks, including future proposals for further investigation of the church.
