Abstract
Preparing for natural disasters is vital for mitigating harm and loss of important cultural sites. In Cuba, this rigorous planning informed by years of experience has focused on the recuperation phase after a disaster or storm. Governmental agencies plan rehabilitation and reconstruction projects in the short, medium, and long term. Accurate models are essential for planning these recovery projects. Photogrammetry represents a novel way to create these models at a potentially city-wide scale. Images taken with conventional cameras are used for object measurement to create digital 3D models of buildings, which will be stored in an architectural database. Important cultural and historic sites were used as initial case studies for the creation of models through photogrammetry. These catalogs will facilitate the maintenance and assessment of these important sites and help to plan future reconstruction plans after a natural disaster. Photogrammetric corrections cause minimal graphic distortion to provide accurate metrics of geometric and decorative information. Examples of these techniques in other Latin American cities will also be discussed.
