Abstract
Abstract. The Borobudur temple (Indonesia) is one of the greatest Buddhist monuments in the world, now listed as an UNESCO World Heritage Site. The present state of the temple is the result of restorations after being exposed to natural disasters several times. Today there is still a growing rate of deterioration of the building stones whose causes need further researches. Monitoring programs, supported at institutional level, have been effectively executed to observe the problem. The paper presents the latest efforts to digitally document the Borobudur Temple and its surrounding area in 3D with photogrammetric techniques. UAV and terrestrial images were acquired to completely digitize the temple, produce DEM, orthoimages and maps at 1:100 and 1:1000 scale. The results of the project are now employed by the local government organizations to manage the heritage area and plan new policies for the conservation and preservation of the UNESCO site. In order to help data management and policy makers, a web-based information system of the heritage area was also built to visualize and easily access all the data and achieved 3D results.
Highlights
Borobudur is the most outstanding temple in Indonesia
Borobudur has been restored two times, the first restoration was done by Theodore van Erp on 1907-1911 while the second one was realized by UNESCO and the Indonesian Government in 1973-1983
On October 28th – November 1st, 2013 a workshop related to the application of aerial (UAV) and close-range photogrammetry for documenting cultural heritage sites was held in Borobudur
Summary
Located on the Borobudur plain, this temple sits majestically in an open area about forty kilometres north-west from Yogyakarta, Indonesia It is located in the very central part of Java Island, Indonesia (Fig. 1). On October 28th – November 1st, 2013 a workshop related to the application of aerial (UAV) and close-range photogrammetry for documenting cultural heritage sites was held in Borobudur. It was organized by the Remote Sensing and GIS Research Group of the Institute of Technology Bandung (ITB). The main aim of the workshop was to build an heritage information system, based on reality-based 3D surveying data, for the documentation and conservation of the Borobudur site. The planning of the data acquisitions, the achieved results and some final comments are afterward presented
