APPLICATION OF GIS TECHNOLOGIES FOR CONSERVATION OF LANDSCAPE ARCHITECTURE OBJECTS

Abstract

The paper concern is preservation of the cultural heritage object and its adaptation for mod-ern use largely depending on completeness of its study and the amount of information availa-ble, including field studies. GIS technologies allow to analyze and update full-scale fixation. The purpose of the analytical method is to identify the possibility of GIS technologies of restoring cultural heritage of the Mount Parnassus in the Aleksandrovskii Park. The paper deals with the problems associated with the modern use of the Mount Parnassus. The analysis is given to publications in the field. The history of creation and previous restoration works are considered. In 2016, the Tsarskoye Selo Museum applied for the first time new 3D reconstruction technology for visualization and evaluation of the restoration projects in the Park. After the revival of the Catherine Park, the restoration of the Aleksandrovskii Park is one of the priorities. Preservation of cultural heritage requires a detailed scientific approach. Research and design documentation requires an accurate solutions of embedding and analyzing the existing landscapes. The applied advanced technologies have been developed in Russia over the past ten years by Geoscan to obtain high-precision orthophotographic charts of any territory. Unmanned aerial vehicles allow to work with various objects, from autonomous buildings to large air terminals. Photogrammetric software equips Museum workplaces with data processing and provides self-training in the data acquisition and processing. Aerial imagery data can be used for content, performance and quality control, DEMs, terrain models and 3D surfaces.
