Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) Data Documentation of Cultural Heritage Availability: 1001 Church

Abstract

Photogrammetry technique is a method used for documentation of historical artifacts with measurements of archaeology for many years. Cultural heritage are common spiritual values of past and future generations. Documentation and preservation of historical monuments without damaging the natural texture are essential elements for their transfer to future generations. Cultural heritage documentation, using photogrammetric methods with the help of UAVs, increased possibilities for taking photos and therefore allows the work to be more comprehensive, reliable and realistic.This work was modeled using three different software with data from a thousand and one church UAVs reflecting medieval Byzantine art over Karabağ, which was considered a sacred center in the northern province of Karaman and also during the Hittites, and is thought to have been used as a Diocesan Center in ancient times. On 3D models produced using photogrammetric techniques with UAV, mxy=±3.01 cm in Agisoft Photoscan Professional software, MZ=±3.68 cm in height error, Mxy=±2.26 cm in Pix4D mapper Pro software, MZ=±1.15 cm in height error and mxy=±11.18 cm in Visual SFM-Meshlab software, MZ=±8.11 cm in height error. it was seen to be. Agisoft Photoscan Professional and Pix4D mapper Pro have concluded that location and height errors are acceptable in terms of Large Scale Map and Map Information Production Regulation.
