Unmanned aerial vehicle (uav) data documentation of cultural heritage availability: One thousand churches

ABSTRACT Photogrammetry technique is a method used for the documentation of historical artifacts with measurements on archaeology for many years. Today, photogrammetric method is used in different engineering projects, and recently, large development and the name of the mentioned UAVs (unmanned aerial vehicle) are also used in conjunction with photogrammetric techniques. Cultural legacies are the common spiritual values of past and future generations. The documentation and preservation of historical monuments without damage to the natural tissue is essential for their transfer to future generations. Local photogrammetric and classical architectural documentation methods and cultural heritage documentation studies are being done, and local photogrammetry provides a great advantage by allowing the measurement of buildings that are inaccessible or dangerous, buildings that are too high or too low. Cultural heritage documentation is made using photogrammetric methods with the help of UAVs, increasing the possibilities for taking pictures and thus enabling the work to be more comprehensive, reliable and realistic. This work is modeled using three different software with a thousand Church UAV data, which reflects medieval Byzantine art over Montenegro, which was in the north of Karaman province and was also considered a sacred center during the Hittites period, and is thought to have been used as a Diocesan Center in antiquity. On 3D models produced using photogrammetric techniques with UAV, position error mxy=±3.01 cm in Agisoft Photoscan Professional software, height error mz=±3.68 cm, position error mxy=±2.26 cm in Pix4D mapper Pro software, height error mz=±1.15 cm and position error mxy=±11.18 cm in Visual SFM-Meshlab software, height error mz= ±8.11 cm. it was seen to be. Agisoft Photoscan Professional and Pix4D mapper Pro software have concluded that location and height errors are acceptable in terms of size.
