Abstract
Abstract. The aim of the present paper is the geometric documentation of the church of St Spyridon using modern digital methods of data collection and processing. The church is located in the Medieval City of Rhodes and the residues of several different historical phases found in the church prove the rarity and the amount of alterations it underwent over the years.Geodetic measurements, laser scanning and acquisition of photographic data were performed, in order to construct the 3D model of the church. 23 drawings were drafted at a scale of 1:50, including horizontal sections, exterior and vertical sections. The projected information of each drawing is described with the help of the corresponding orthophotographs. Moreover, the three-dimensional photorealistic model (textured model) of the church was created, as well as a stereoscopic video and interactive virtual tour, via the 3DHOP platform.
Highlights
The object of the present study is the Early Christian church of St
This paper presents all the work carried out using modern digital methods of data collection and processing for its geometric documentation, which is the main objective of the work, in order to produce detailed drawings at a scale of 1:50, as well as the three-dimensional photorealistic digital model of the church, a video of the 3D model, as well as an interactive tour, using the 3DHOP platform
The rarity of the monument and the number of historical phases it went through over the centuries are suggested by the remainders of the construction and decoration
Summary
The object of the present study is the Early Christian church of St. Spyridon in the Medieval City of Rhodes (Figure 1). This paper presents all the work carried out using modern digital methods of data collection and processing for its geometric documentation, which is the main objective of the work, in order to produce detailed drawings at a scale of 1:50, as well as the three-dimensional photorealistic digital model of the church, a video of the 3D model, as well as an interactive tour, using the 3DHOP platform. A crypt, dated as far back as the 16th century, containing a mural of the Crucifixion, depicting the sponsors of the church at the time, a father and a son on their knees, is one of its most remarkable features (Figure 3)
