DIGITALIZATION
OF CULTURAL
ASSETS

See how Building Information Modeling (BIM) is applied to historical sites, providing a digital blueprint that helps guide sensitive renovations and restorations.

Our commitment to preserving cultural heritage transcends basic documentation by offering detailed digital preservation solutions suited for heritage conservation offices and foundational planning.

DIGITAL
DEFECT
CHECKS

We have documented the interior as well as the building envelope of this Catholic church in the picturesque Pitztal Valley in Tyrol. Inspections and defect checks can now be carried out on the basis of these data sets.

FROM VIRTUAL INSPECTIONS TO IN-DEPTH ANALYSIS

In our approach to preserving cultural heritage, a critical component is the geometrically and mathematically precise unwrapping of facade paintings. In the case study in question, we meticulously documented the frescoes and paintings on the structures, applying advanced techniques to reproject these artworks onto the 3D geometries.

This process involved correcting and un-distorting the images, ensuring that they accurately represent the original art in two-dimensional form. The outcome is a set of high-fidelity 2D image files that offer a detailed and correct view of historical artworks, useful for both conservation efforts and digital archiving, providing an invaluable resource for scholars and preservationists.

BIM FOR
HISTORICAL
SITES

One of our notable projects involved the meticulous documentation of a Roman Catholic parish church, first recorded in the 14th century. We employed advanced LIDAR technology along with ground-based 360-degree photographic captures to document both the interior and exterior aspects of the structure.

The georeferenced datasets were integrated to create triangulated polygon meshes from the point clouds, which not only served as a visual tool on our online platform but also provided the basis for deriving detailed Building Information Models (BIM) ranging from LOD200 to LOD300. This level of precision facilitates exact renovations and restorations, ensuring that architectural nuances and structural elements are precisely preserved.
