3D LASER SCANNING OF THE HISTORIC GREEK CATHOLIC CHURCH – CASE STUDY

Abstrakt

Laser scanning is the most modern technology for high quality focusing on real objects. 3D laser scanning technology allows the space digitizing of objects which means transferring different objects from the real world into a 3D digital environment where they can continue to work. 3D object scanning allows enhancing the design process, speeds up and reduces data collection errors, saves time and money and thus makes it an attractive alternative to traditional data collection techniques. This technology has wide application and it can be used for surveying of various objects such as buildings, factory buildings, machinery, equipment, engineering networks and also cultural monuments or statues. The result of a scan is a 3d model point cloud which represents threedimensional image of scanned objects and complex shapes. The aim of the paper is description of methodology of the work with 3D laser scanner Faro Focus X130 from Faro Company on the real building object - historic greek catholic church. This paper describes the methodology of laser scanning, describes the specific step during scanning and describes the possibility of create 2D documentation from 3D model point clouds.
