Chapter 4 : Case Studies
Concept of digital heritage and virtual reconstruction
Digital heritage involves using the digital media in order to preserve the natural as well as
cultural heritage. There are different resources, including educational, cultural, scientific etc. that
are being created digitally. The different digital materials that are used include texts, audio,
graphics, images, databases etc. A lot of these resources have significance and a lasting value.
therefore, they help in creating a heritage that can exist in any language and in any part of the
world. This is because with the help of computers, digital resources can be created effectively.
Digital heritage is estimated to become important as well as more widespread across the world in
the coming years. This is because organizations, communities as well as individuals are using
various digital technologies in order to express what do they want to pass on to the generations in
the future.
Although there are various advantages of digital heritage, there are some equal
disadvantages of the same as well. There are certain risks associated with this like the instability
of the internet being one of the major ones. In order to provide a seamless experience to the
people who visit a particular destination as tourists, digital technologies are used. The different
digital methods that are used, have to be managed effectively in order to retain them for a longer
period of time. For the sustainable development of cultural tourism, it is important to use
digitalized culture heritage. It is important to ensure a sustainable development of tourism
because it is one of the oldest forms of travel and has recently become an important resource for
the industry. For example, museums benefit from selling tickets to the tourists as well as
recognition among the people. This is where digital technology has played an important role to
innovate all of the areas around a museum.
Using laser scanning in Historic building repair
Laser scanning can be used in the repair of historic buildings and involves using either
2D or 3D models, construction planning etc. The process is relatively slow and involves effective
planning as well as innovation. A case study of renovating the famous Durham Cathedral has
been chosen. There were different stages involved in repairing the building with the help of laser
scanning. Initially, in order to detect the defect in the building, laser scanning was used to
capture the interiors of the church. There are different standards for preserving the heritage sites

and it should be kept in mind that no alteration is done to them. The Durham Cathedral doe not
charge any kind of fees from its visitors but it is expensive to run it. The Chapter House of the
cathedral was chosen to be modelled again. This was because it was not open for the public and
any remodeling activities that will be undertaken at the Cathedral.
In order to identify the defects at the Cathedral, the research team proposed to conduct a
laser scan and create a 3D model of the Chapter House. Initially, the already built conditions of
the Cathedral were captured. 3D laser scanning was chosen as the method to do so and different
types of scanners were used. With the help of built-in cameras, photographs were taken and they
were then merged with scanned data. In order to scan and monitor a larger area, the scanner is
moved to different points. This results in individual scans being collected that have to be linked
together in order to obtain a single representation of the entire room, which is referred to as Point
Cloud. Therefore, with the help of the 3D scanners, the complete structure, including the walls of
the room were monitored. Besides this, it was kept in mind that before initiating the process,
appropriate calibration of the unit was done.
There were certain difficulties that were encountered during the process, like some areas
of the Cathedral such as tight circular staircase were not easy to access through the laser scanner.
So, instead of using the scanners that were used, more handheld and less expensive scanners
could have been used. Another issue that was encountered was the cost of the scanners, as the
bigger scanners were very expensive. Also, the Chapter House of the Durham Cathedral was not
surveyed before which means that there were no documented measurements of the same. Due to
this, the remodeling process was completely based on the Point Cloud. There can be instruments
on the site that can cause problems in defining the building and even the Point Cloud can
sometimes have gaps and the points can appear grainy. This can be caused due to the lack of
view during the scanning process.
Detailed sheets regarding the data of the room were created with the help of log of past
issues as well as actions. A Point Cloud of high resolution allows to take different sections of a
building as well as conduct a survey of their condition. With its help, the research team was able
to discuss about the issues that can affect the heritage assets. And in the renovation process, it is
important for all the team members to engage as well as support the same. In order to carry out
the repair process, it is important that all the members of the team are trained effectively and

know how the different laser scanners as well as other soft wares. During the scanning process,
moisture in the room was also detected in order to better understand the condition of the room so
that appropriate measures could be taken for the remodeling process.
In order to survey and conserve historic buildings, laser scanning has become an
important technique. Professionals who work at the heritage sites are usually interested in having
an accurate drawing on which they can base their specification of works. Using laser scanning as
well as visual reconstruction have gained importance and allow effective sustaining of historical
buildings. 3D reconstruction involves creating three dimensional models with the help of a set of
images.
Another case study that was chosen, was based on Laser scans for Belsay castle, which
was built in the fourteenth century and it was decided that the castle would be repaired with the
help of 3D scanning. With the help of the 3D laser scans, preservationists have been able to
ensure that the history of the castle is preserved and protected against different elements as well
as natural disaster. The Shang Shu Di, a building belonging to the Ming Dynasty is also being
protected through the application of 3D laser scanning technology. The technique is used across
a wide range of industries and the respective building is one of the officially protected buildings
in China (3D Laser Scanning Technology-based Historic Building Mapping for Historic
Preservation: A Case Study of Shang Shu Di in Fujian Province, China, 2020). The 3D laser
technology is primarily used in order to map irregular and complex buildings.
The application of this process includes the 3D scanners targeting the various physical
objects. Besides this, collection of data outdoors and processing the same indoors. Most of the
historic buildings have complex angles so, in order to avoid any kind of errors, it is considered to
be reasonable to set different measuring targets and sites. While detecting any defects in the
building, it is suggested to use scanning of the ultra-high resolution. The degree of exposure
should be increased when the data point clod reaches a dark area, so that a clear point could can
be obtained. Initially the focus should be laid on the detailed components that have to be
mapped. The data collection process can be done in two different ways. It has been observed that
historical buildings have the potential to sustain for a longer period of time. But sometimes, they
are considered to be demolished or reconstructed, in such cases the amount of energy as well as

reinvestment is high. Therefore, in these situations, retention as well as rehabilitation of these
buildings can play an important role.
Building Information Modelling as well as 3D laser scanning technologies are offering
new ways for capturing, mapping as well as analyzing the information of the building in the
future. The 3D laser scanning technique can be defined as a non-destructive technology, that
captures the shape of, physical objects with the help of a laser light. This makes it easier for the
researchers to undertake a better scanning process and thus repair the historic building in an
appropriate manner. With the help of the technique, any defects in the historic building including
the walls and the overall structure can be detected easily. Besides this, any kind of details can be
recorded and a computerized record can be made. If the data that is collected is invalid, it can
affect the overall accuracy of the map and takes up the system resources. This leads to creating
an impact on the overall ability of the computer to process the data.
Therefore, in the first case, the finished model of the respective Cathedral provided it a
new digital tool-kit so that the building could be understood and managed in a more efficient
way. This would also help in maintaining and preserving it for the future generations. Thus, it
can be said that 3D laser scanning is a technique that is being used widely in the maintenance as
well as repair of old historic buildings. These were the two case studies that have been referred to
in order to understand the technique in a better way. As a result, the historic buildings are
preserved and maintained in an effective manner. Also, the measurements taken will be
appropriate and all the details of the building will remain intact along with the costs being
managed effectively.
Reconstructing lost/destroyed architectural sites
A major fire at the Notre Dame Cathedral in Paris was an incident that affected everyone
all over the world. Even today, bricks continue to fall from the arches and the church is at a risk
of collapsing. In order to reconstruct the destroyed architectural site, the church was documented
from both the outside as well as the inside very precisely. The Notre Dame Cathedral has been
documented earlier also in order to determine and understand the exact procedures that had been
used by the architects during its construction. During the process, nearly a billion data points
were documented. After the fire, the team came in with focus laser scanners in order to
investigate the complete extent to which the church had been damaged. A building information

model for the church was constructed as it helps in minimizing the associated risks as well as
errors so that the construction work can be carried out optimistically. Notre Dame is under
analysis most of the time and various technological tools are used in order to ensure that the
building can be restored for as long as possible. 3D laser scanning is one of the primary
techniques that are used by preservationists in order to record and map out the different sites.
3D printing is also used most of the times to construct a three-dimensional object from a
CAD model. Building information models or BIM also serve as a basis for planning the complete
reconstruction process. Since the Notre Dame was burned down in Paris, a contactless laser
survey was used for the reconstruction process. One of the major advantages of doing so was that
the preservationists were able to carry out the measurements in a single day, without having to
enter the building as there was a high risk of it collapsing. The lasers which were used proved
out to be extremely helpful and enabled the experts to carry out various measurement series in
the cathedral. As a result, the models that were obtained were accurate about the areas of Notre
dame that had been suffered the most during the incident. Like the experts have scans of the
wooden beams that were destroyed and contain billions of data points which is actually very
helpful for the preservationists. Although the BMI models are still not sufficient to obtain the
most accurate measurements. A plan has been developed in order to restore the Notre Dame
Cathedral in the coming 5 years.
There has always been a debate about if the historical buildings should be reconstructed
or not. There are many historical buildings that have been reconstructed in order to preserve
them for the coming generations and maintain their essence about the history. There are a lot of
historical sites like buildings and museums that are adopting virtual reality in order to provide
the visitors with a much more enhanced experience. Visitors now have a chance to experience
some of the very defining experiences of history. Some museums offer the individuals an ability
to immerse themselves completely into different historical events. This enables them to
experience walk throughs into the museum which is a comparatively new experience for them.
Tampa’s Famous Jackson rooming House is also a historical building that is under reconstruction
so that it can be restored and preserved. The building underwent a full 3D imaging in order to
understand the different areas that required to be reconstructed. This will also help in
determining how sound the building is. The Jackson rooming House is a building that was

constructed in 1901 as a boarding house. There have been plans in order to restore the old
historic building, which was used to house African Americans during the segregation area.
Tampa’s history will be preserved as the building is one of the major sites for its history.
The Jackson Rooming House located in Tampa started out as a six-room cottage built with the
aid of Moses and Sarah Jackson in 1901. Due to its near proximity to Tampa Union Station,
additional bedrooms and 2nd ground were delivered to be operated as a boarding residence for
African-Americans and different vacationers of African descent during the technology of racial
segregation. It was also one of the handiest locations in Tampa in which black tourists ought to
find accommodations, as they have been no longer prevalent in widespread hotels of the day.
During its time the Jackson Rooming House played host to several distinguished entertainers,
inclusive of Nat King Cole, Duke Ellington, Count Basie, Cab Calloway, James Brown, Ella
Fitzgerald, and Ray Charles.
Acts which includes those might come to play the nightclubs of Tampa’s black
commercial enterprise district, which thrived close by along Central Avenue until the Sixties.
Even Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Made a quick prevent at the boarding residence for the duration
of his go to Tampa in 1961. During the city renewal of the 1960s and 1970s, most of the
community surrounding the residence was razed. When the residence changed into brought to the
National Register of Historic Places in 2007, the Jackson Rooming House changed into believed
to be the last unfastened-status residential dwelling in downtown Tampa.
There is an extreme requirement for the building to be restored and there is an urgent
requirement for the city to address the issue. Kennecott Mines in Alaska are another historical
mark since the year 1987. Kennecott's operation required production of a 196-mile railroad via
mountain canyons to Cordova. Trains carried a high-grade ore in contrast to whatever ever
determined, some of it extra than 70 percentage pure copper. The underground mine produced
fairly little tailing waste.
The mining agency left behind a hole in Bonanza Peak, several ghost towns, and an anti-
monopoly streak in Alaska's territorial politics. In addition to describing the generation and
politics of the day, the new exhibits offer good sized accounts of the area's social history. The
position of girls and immigrants and segregated minorities and displaced Natives, working
conditions underground, and individual existence tales are all explored. The Kennecott Minerals

Company cleaned up toxics and donated the subsurface. Mining-generation cottages previously
purchased remained in non-public arms. Funding for healing and exhibits has come from
congressional grants and general park provider receipts.
3D printing uses laptop-aided layout (CAD) to create 3-dimensional objects through a
layering approach. Sometimes referred to as additive manufacturing, 3-D printing entails
layering substances, like plastics, composites or bio-substances to create gadgets that range in
shape, length, tension and coloration. 3D scanning as been used in order to restore the building
as well as the natural resources of Alaska. When the final trainload of copper pulled out of
Kennecott in 1938, it left at the back of a network that had supported one of the most effective
copper mines in the world. With its rich ore deposits depleted, Kennecott become not profitable.
The community fell victim to the growth-and-bust cycle experienced via many other Alaskan
mines. The once-bustling mill city become abandoned and left to decay. Located close to the
town of McCarthy in Wrangell-St. Elias National Park and Preserve, Kennecott turned into
declared a U.S. National Historic Landmark in 1987. When the National Park Service (NPS)
obtained Kennecott in 1998, it started out the lengthy attempt to hold the web site and decide
which homes must be stabilized or rehabilitated. Nearly 80 years of neglect and Alaska weather
had taken a toll on the town, and NPS ancient architects and archaeologists wished correct data
on the systems that remained.
In addition to scanning, the Trimble SX10 used direct reflex (DR) measurements to seize
individual factors at the building. These points should identify key functions after which be as
compared to the factor cloud for first-rate warranty. In one instance, they used DR measurements
to seize slope distance to a window extra than 330 toes from the instrument. Therefore, this is
how the mines in Alaska were reconstructed and made sure that the site was restored for the
people to visit the same. The reconstruction of destroyed historic and architectural landmarks has
lengthy been taken into consideration as something much less than serious architectural
expression. The loss of a good-sized work is usually taken to be an opportunity to rebuild with a
structure reflecting a contemporary aesthetic and life-style.
Many architectural pundits maintain that every one new building should appearance to
the future, not the beyond. Nevertheless, a persistent popular sentiment holds that natural or
guy-made tragedy have to now not deprive us of critical background, and that accurate

rebuilding of noteworthy misplaced landmarks is a valid hobby. Reconstructions serve
emotional, patriotic, aesthetic, and academic desires. Moreover, most people of reconstructions,
both here and abroad, are severe, scholarly achievements. Thus, restoring lost/damaged sites is
important and the historical sites that have been damaged should be restored with the help of
different techniques including 3D laser scanning and building information model or BIM. This is
because these models can help in understanding the areas that require reconstruction and
restoration. Thus, these are some case studies of restoring the damaged architecture sites. As the
new building will be better and allow them to be restored in a better way.
Methodology
In order to complete this dissertation, secondary sources of data have been used to collect
the data. These include online websites, journals, articles as well as books so as to ensure that it
is completed in an effective manner. Secondary data is available through other that have been
already used and the information available on these sources can be tailored as per the need of the
research. The amount of time as cost required for collecting the data through secondary sources
is less as compared to primary methods of data collection. The secondary data is available easily
and its level of accuracy is also relatively high in comparison to the primary data. There are
different sources of secondary data, internal as well as external. Different research papers and
case studies have been referred to in order to make sure that the overall efficiency of the research
was maintained. Although there are many advantages of using secondary data, there are still
some limitations to it like the data that is collected may not be completely accurate, authentic or
fulfil the requirements of the research. Also, some of the secondary sources data are outdated and
do not have any new data. This can have an impact on the overall research and the effectiveness
as well as accuracy of the results.

Chapter 5 : Aerial triangulation in photogrammetric recording
Aerial triangulation can be referred to as a technique that is used in photogrammetric
methods in order to coordinate points on the ground. This is done using a series of aerial
photographs that overlap with each other. The technique is primarily used for mapping purposes
but today, it is used across different fields like control densification etc. There are different types
of aerial triangulation like, digital aerial triangulation, analytical aerial triangulation, analog
aerial triangulation and so on. Modeling is a useful way in which all of the important information
pertaining to aerial triangulation.
The primary aim of aerial triangulation is to produce sufficient amount of points in
photogrammetric models from the ground level. This is primarily done in order to ensure that
each of the models is oriented in an appropriate manner as required for the process of line
mapping. The process of aerial triangulation involves determining the correct position of each
image in order to ensure that they can be compiled into a map. There are different points like
horizontal, vertical as well as pass points that are collectively known as control. The process of
aerial triangulation mainly includes establishing control points on the ground and performing
interior orientation as well as checking all the control points on the photographs manually. Aerial
triangulation serves an important purpose in the process of photogrammerty so that the results
which are obtained are reliable and accurate.
The process of aerial triangulation has become an integral tool for determining coordinate
points on the ground. Digital aerial triangulation is a kind of triangulation, that is done either
semi-automatically or automatically on two systems. In the semi-automatic triangulation, colored
aerial photographs that are captured with the help of an aircraft are scanned. The process of
scanning is done with a photo alignment angle and only the red band is used in this process.
Aerial triangulation is a process that represents the process of establishing accurate as well as
precise relationships mathematically. The process can be implemented for all kinds of aerial
sensors which can be both digital and analog and used for satellite imagery. The process of aerial
triangulation is useful because it is usually expensive to employ people to work on the field. This
is because it involves an investment of considerable amount of time as well as money.

Laser scanning can be referred to as one of the most commonly used methods that is used
for surveying land and helps in measuring and collecting data from buildings, objects, surfaces
etc. in an accurate manner. The data from laser scanners is collected in the form of point cloud
data. Using laser scanning for historic buildings is important as it allows to capture all the details
of the buildings like any unusual surfaces, changes in construction overtime effectively. It is
important to preserve the historic buildings and using the technique of laser scanning, any
requirements that are needed with time can be identified. This helps in making effective
decisions as to how can the data which is captured can be used. This dissertation analyses the
role of laser and 3D reconstruction in conserving historic buildings. It explains the concept of
digital heritage and virtual reconstruction. There is also an explanation of the different tools that
are used in digital scanning and replication for historic buildings along with their application.
Lastly, an evaluation of the role of digital heritage in improving the conservation industry is also
included.
The technique of laser scanning requires a scanning head which has to be mounted on a
surveyor’s tripod. The scanner on the tripod, spins at a very high speed along with a low-energy
laser, that fires a reflecting beam in order to record up to one million points per second. The
points collectively describe the surface that has been scanned and are referred to as a point cloud.
There are different scanners that can be used for different historical sites. The method of laser
scanning helps in preserving the different buildings. The device which is used for obtaining the
3D data of objects through laser beams is called a laser scanner. The technique of laser scanning
is rapidly gaining importance over the years in order to restore the sites or buildings. A 3D laser
scanner provides useful and valuable data at a very high resolution. The respective technology
has proved to be very important and helps in capturing the very delicate as well as complex
details of a historic building’s architecture.
Photogrammetry can be referred to as the technology which involves obtaining
information about physical objects as well as the environment that is reliable. This is done with
the help of different recording and measuring techniques. The process of photogrammetry has
been considered to be an efficient as well as low-cost tool that is mainly used for recording
different architectural remains of a historic building. The process involves making
measurements with the help of photographs. As a result, a map or a drawing of a real physical

object is created. Distances between objects can be recorded with the help of photogrammetry
software which has proved to be a great technique used across different fields. The technique
involves only using photographs and mathematical equations. Also, it does not involve a lot of
cost as well as time and can be completed to generate effective results.
On the other hand, in laser scanning, a scanner of the highest resolution allows to
represent the different architectural details in a very precise manner, which is otherwise not
possible to obtain through a medium resolution. The results that are obtained through laser
scanning is very precise and allows the researcher to represent an object with a very high
accuracy as well as detail. Not only this, it also helps in creating a 3D model of a particular
historical building. As a result, a lost or damaged historic building can be restored and conserved
in an appropriate manner. A thorough analysis can also be achieved with the help of this
technique. There is no requirement of heavy investment or a long time and the digital pictures
can be obtained much easily as compared to other techniques. The data which is obtained opens
up various possibilities for the future generations. Laser scanning is among the new technologies
that is being used by preservationists. In order to create a good model requires data that is highly
accurate. There are many historic sites that have been restored and preserved with the help of this
technique, Notre Dame Cathedral is one of them.
To be able to obtain the required number of points, the method of aerial triangulation is
used. It enables to measure different unknown points clearly so that a map can be developed. The
map can be referred to in the future in order to understand the structure more clearly. Some of
the inputs required for the process of aerial triangulation involve scanned images, camera report
as well as ground control data. Automatic aerial triangulation comprises of three steps which are,
preparation and project setup by the operator, measurement as well as orientation. Another step
included in the same is bundle block adjustment. Also, the level of accuracy of automatic aerial
triangulation depends on the overall quality as well as number of points that are matched. This
facilitates a better development of the map.
One of the different types of aerial triangulation is the one that is GPS assisted and has
become generally available. It can be used for the direct positioning any where on the earth and
at any time. Whenever GPS is used, it is important to ensure that a real time capability is used
because it offers a very high accuracy for positioning. Aerial triangulation is considered to be

one of the most important steps in the mapping process that cannot be avoided. The primary goal
of the process is to improve the overall efficiency. And this is done by avoiding the control
points on the ground completely.
The technique of aerial triangulation is basically performed on a photogrammetric block
that comprises of all the image that are acquired from over the project area. Digital
photogrammetry is considered to have a great influence on the process of aerial triangulation of a
particular technique. The triangulation process consists of different steps that ensure that the
overall results that are obtained are accurate as well as precise at the same time. The different
steps include preparation, point marking, measurement as well as computation. Data preparation
is an important step wherein stereoscope is used and three points are selected at the center of
each photograph. The points that are marked along the strips, are referred to as pass points
whereas the ones that are marked between the strips are referred to as tie points.
The next step, which is point marking involves using a marking device that has precise
optics for stereo viewing, a variable zoom, laser beams, hot needles mechanical as well as
electric drills that will help in removing emulsion from the dis positive. Lastly, it is also
important that the marking device is able to create a very precise circular mark (Imagery Geo-
location, 2017). Next, in order to measure the points, a technician who is skilled with using the
different analytical stereo plotting instruments records the location of pass point as well as tie
point that are previously marked on each of the photographs. The final step involves numerical
computation of aerial triangulation wherein a series of steps are conducted. Each photograph has
various numerical observations that are processed in order to build a cohesive block.
Once this is done, the individual photos are formed into strips by successive and relative
orientations with the help of primary pass points between different overlapping photos. For each
strip, horizontal and vertical coordinates are computed. The strip coordinates are then converted
to ground coordinates. This is done by using the ground control contained within a given strip.
The next step in the series involves applying simultaneous polynomial equations in order to
produce the final values for all the points. Lastly, the exterior orientation elements of each of the
photos that are to be used as input are calculated. This is an important step and should be done
very carefully. Aerial triangulation was earlier performed with the help of film-based imagery,
but today, it is done using digital imagery.

Soft copy aerial triangulation is more accurate as well as efficient because it involves all
manual work of points marking. There can be certain errors in aerial triangulation that are
referred to as systematic errors in aerial triangulation. They can be defined as the effects of
constant deformation in each of the stereo grams of a strip. As far a s the GPR supported aerial
triangulation is concerned, in order to ensure that it is successful, it is very important to plan
effectively. Otherwise the complete process can be affected with the same in a negative manner.
The flights should be planned for a period during which a minimum of six to seven satellites are
available. One of the other parameters that should be considered is the cut-off elevation angle of
the satellite. Satellites at a low elevation can be ignored with the help of post processing
software. The cans that are obtained through digital aerial triangulation are digital aerial photos
that include data related to aero triangulation.
Therefore, it can be said that aerial triangulation is an important component of the overall
process of photogrammetry and helps in obtaining the right measurements. As a result, the
coordinate points that are obtained are accurate and there is no d illusion of results. Besides this,
one of the important applications of aerial triangulation is that it can be applied across various
fields. A metric aerial camera is used for capturing photographs of the entire project area. But if
a non-metric camera is used in its place, the photographs will be not come out as expected
because these cameras are used to capture pictures of close range applications. This is the
complete process of aerial triangulation and how it is used in the process of photogrammetry.
Also, aerial triangulation has become an important tool that allows determining the right
coordinate points on the ground in the last years and its results can be relied upon.
A metric method can be defined as a system that is used for measurement and allows the
preservationists to collect the right data. There are different metric methods that can be used in
order to collect valuable and useful data that is related to the historic buildings. One of the
methods is the use of a metric camera, wherein focal length as well as internal dimensions are
known exactly or can also be determined with the help of a method called calibration. These
cameras are considered to be one of the most stable as well as affordable ways that guarantee
precise results. Metric cameras are specifically designed in order to collect data in
photogrammetric surveys and if there is a requirement for obtaining precise measurements
through photographs. Metric cameras are beneficial in collecting metric information because

there are different benefits of doing so. One of the major advantages of using a metric camera is
that the interior orientation parameters that are used, are far more reliable than any other method.
If there are any changes in the temperature, vibrations or pressure from another platform,
there is no impact on the internal mechanisms of the camera. Both standard cameras as well as
commercial cameras have not yet been designed in a way that they can withstand that may arise
because of airborne surveys. For instance, if the lens of the camera moves slightly, the quality of
images gets affected. This is not the case when a metric camera is used because it is steady even
when the images are taken from above the ground (Hasselblad or Phase One: A Metric Camera
Comparison, 2020). As a result, images that are captured through a metric camera are clear and
crisp, without any kind of deformation. Standard as well as commercial cameras involve re
calibration each time a picture is taken from air, whereas in case of a metric camera, high repeat
ability for a survey can be done. This means that same results can be obtained every time. There
are a lot of organizations today, that offer high quality metric cameras like Nikon, Zeiss etc.
Photographs that are taken with the help of metric cameras provide measurements that
are precise as well as accurate. Also, there is no additional requirement for controlling rthe
elements of inner as well as relative orientation.
Metric recording is one of the methods that is used widely in photogrammatery in order
to obtain the right measurements of a particular architecture and old historic site. Although there
are any benefits of using the same, there are also certain limitations of this method. Ne of the
major limitations is that metrics are nothing but a standard of measurements that can be used in
the process of photogrammetry.
Photogrammetry can be referred to as the process wherein reliable information about a
physical object is obtained with the help of recording as well as measuring. The photographs that
are captured are reviewed and interpreted to obtain useful information. In simple words, the
process can be defined as making measurements of objects in the real world. The application of
this process includes measuring the different coordinates, quantifying the distance between
various objects and 3-dimensional topographic mapping. The most recent technique is
developing a point cloud with the help of various coordinates that are measured with the help of
laser scanning technique. The technique of photogrammetry enables the preservationists of a
historical building to obtain a 3D recording of the area that are damaged, or have been lost.

The process basically involves making a measurements that are precise with the help of
photographs and other sources of imaging. This helps in determining the relative locations of
different coordinate points in space. Advancements in technology have enabled archaeologists to
collect useful artifacts for the restoration of a historic building. There are different types of
photogrammetric recording methods that are used in order to ensure that the measurements that
are obtained are accurate as well as precise at the same time. There are different soft wares that
are available for obtaining the correct measurements. The different features of a photograph are
measured with the help of this technique and it is primarily concerned with the measurement
aspect during the complete process. The concept of interpreting photos has also evloved over
time and is used to obtain maps.
The output that is obtained from a photogrammetric record is basically a map or a
drawing or a 3D model of a real object. Air crafts are generally used for obtaining the images
and the fundamental principle on which photogrammetric recording is based, is known as
triangulation. Photographs have to be taken from at least two different locations.
Photogrammetric recording can be classified into different types that are based on the location of
camera during the process of photography. These include aerial photogrammetry, terrestrial
photogrammetry as well as space photogrammetry. In aerial photogrammetry, the camera is
mounted in an aircraft and is pointed towards the ground. Multiple overlapping photographs are
taken along a flight path. On the other hand, in terrestrial photogrammetry, the photographs are
taken from a fixed position near the ground.
In order to create a 3-dimensional and projected optical model which allows appropriate
measurement of the physical objects. Photogrammatic recording is a process that involves two
stages, namely photography and survey control on the site as well as orientation of the photos
along with measurement or plotting in the laboratory. The process is a quick as well as efficient
method wherein the data is secured for recording structures before they collapse. The second
stage of photogrammatric recording is relatively expensive as compared to the first stage.
Although there are many benefits of photogrammatic recording, there are certain limitations as
well. One of the limitations is that only the features that appear in the photograph can be
measured and results be drawn.

Photogrammetry is different from measurements that are made from hand as it depends
upon only few dimensions that are recorded at the site. The final drawings that are made, usually
lack many dimensions. There are different types of photogrammetry like interpretative and
metric photogrammetry (Basics of Photogrammetry, 2020). the first type of photogrammetry
involves identifying as well as recognizing various physical objects and then judging their
significance with the help of a systematic analysis. Images that are created with the help of
interpretative photogrammetry are created from satellite imagery. The other form of
photogrammetry is metric photogrammetry, which comprises of making measurements on
photographs in order to determine the locations of points. One of the common applications of
this type of photogrammetry is that it can help in determining areas, elevations and distances.
When two photographs of a physical object are taken, the images overlap and differ
horizontally. A photogrammatic camera is one of the equipment that is used in the process of
photogrammatic recording. The images are then inserted into a viewing instrument so that the
left hand photo can be seen with the left eye and vice versa. It can be said that photogrammetry is
one of the most widely and commonly used techniques for recording architecture resources like
historic buildings. The drawings or maps that are obtained through photogrammetry recording
provide useful insights about the major dimensions as well as heights of the structure. Other
important applications of the same in the architecture are mainly concerned with problems in the
structure of the site.
Photogrammetry is a technique to make reliable measurements with the help of
photographs. It helps in locating features on or above the surface of the earth and has evolved
overtime into a reliable technique over the years. There are various advantages of the same and
the information that is obtained can be used in order to convey a certain information about a
structure to the general public. The process of photogrammetric surveys comprise of a series of
steps and it is very important to make sure that these processes are under control so that accurate
and reliable measurements can be obtained. Planning plays a significant role in the process and
once the types as well as limits of the project are identified, the appropriate flying height is also
determined so that clear photographs are obtained.
Next, the target locations are also identified and geographic coordinates for each location
is also determined. There are different factors that can affect the overall quality of the

photographs that are taken, there are still some factors that cannot be controlled. These can
include the weather and ground, different seasons etc. On the other hand, factors that can be
controlled include flight conditions, maintaining latest equipment etc. in order to obtain quality
photographs, photographs should be taken during early spring as it is the best time to take
mapping images. Also, there is minimized interruption as the crops are in their early stages of
growth. In cases where the height of the flight is not known, objects that are identifiable on the
ground as well as on the photo should be looked for.
There care photo control points that can be used but there is a risk of increase in the
potential errors. There can be certain obstructions and therefore, it is important to make sure that
all the targets on the ground are placed in a relatively flat position. This helps in taking pictures
that are not only clear but precise as well. Photogrammetric surveys means that the ground
control targets occur within that area. Photogrammetric surveys can be used both before as well
as after aerial photography flights. Control surveys that are conducted after flying, should
include both horizontal as well as vertical coordinates. This is because they provide better and
clear aerial photographs. There are two types of techniques that can be employed during the
process, namely static as well as dynamic.
There are different advantages as well as disadvantages of using photogrammetry for
mapping as well as surveying processes. The same are described below -
Advantages
The first and foremost advantage of photogrammetric surveys is that the data can be
collected with ease and without having to invest in a lot of time as well as money. The technique
of photogrammetry can help in capturing images with the help of satellite imagery, UAS as well
as UAV. The data can be analysed in order to obtain correct and precise measurements which are
then converted to a 3D map. Since there are different types of photogrammetry, aerial
photographs can help in producing an actual as well as permanent record that can be referred
back to in the future in case of any need. Also, the process does not involve any kind of field
work to re-survey and the photographs can be referred for measuring again. Another advantage
of the same is that photogrammetry is ideal for locations that are not so easy to access.

Road surveys, which are otherwise difficult to conduct, can work effectively when
photogrammetry is employed. Also, since the technique takes into account elevation data along
with road features, there is no requirement of reviewing the same. The images that are obtained
through photogrammetry, can also be used to convey useful information to the public or trade or
state agencies in order to facilitate a better understanding. Although the map can be difficult to
understand for some people, it can be easily described with the help of photographs that are
captured (6 Benefits of Using Photogrammetry for Mapping and Surveying, 2020). Also, in order
to make a photogrammetric survey successful, it is important to have a clear and better
understanding of its various benefits as well as components. Careful planning can ensure that the
technique is implemented effectively and accurate pictures of the structures are obtained.
Disadvantages
There are also certain disadvantages that can affect the overall photographs that are
obtained from photogrammetric surveys. Weather patterns keep on changing from season to
season. Weather patterns that produce increased cloud cover as well as wind can impact the
overall mission in an adverse manner. This can further affect the overall quality of results as the
photographs that are taken are not clear and precise. Besides this, the angle of the sun can also
have an impact on the image. For example, the angles of the sun that are less than 30 degrees
above the horizon will result into long shadows, whereas angles of the sun that are greater than
45 degrees will produce sun spots on the image. Also, it can be difficult or in some cases
impossible to collect measurements in areas that have dark shadows , dense snow or water. Due
to this, the overall results can get impacted.
Another major disadvantage is that the photogrammetric surveys cannot be conducted in
the absence of light. This is because it does not have its own source of light and due to this, it can
become difficult to take photographs. If there are constraints related to the visibility, it can be
difficult to obtain accurate measurements. Also, certain factors like snowfall or dense vegetation
can hinder the overall precision as well as accuracy of the results. The flight height has a direct
impact on the measurements and therefore, it should be addressed accordingly. Lastly, another
disadvantage is that since there is a digital aspect involved, there is a risk of hack or loss of
important data due to viruses. Thus, these are some of the disadvantages of photogramatteric
technique which is used widely these days and can have an impact on the overall results.

Laser scanning is a popular method that is used for the primary purpose of surveying and
allows making accurate measurements as well as collecting data from objects, buildings as well
as landscape. In order to collect data, laser scanners are used and the data is represented in the
form of a point cloud.

Chapter 6 : Historic Building Repair
Quality Monitoring
Quality control can be referred to as the process which involves a set of procedures that
are mainly intended to make sure that a product that is manufactured is in compliance to a
defined set of quality criteria as well as meets the needs of the customer. Quality monitoring is
similar to quality control and is an important component for making informed decisions. Laser
scanning is still an emerging technology, although it is used across a lot of fields. The technique
is mainly used in restoring historic buildings that have been damaged or are lost. Besides this, it
also helps in detecting any defects in the structures as well as monitoring the progress. There are
different scanners that can be used in this process. Today, it is considered important to have an
effective inspection process so that the overall quality in the manufacturing process can be
controlled.
There are various studies that have been conducted on defect detection in construction as
well as quality control. Laser scanning is a technique that is widely being used across various
fields and has proved to be successful. Quality control is an important process because it ensures
that the needs of the customers is met and there is minimum amount of wastage and the level of
productivity is increased. There are multiple scanners that are used in the process of laser
scanning in order to make sure that the results obtained are accurate as well as precise. The
restoration process of historic buildings requires maintaining a balance between time, cost as
well as quality. This is where quality control comes in place and make sure that products as well
as ensures that the requirements and standards that are established, are complied to.
Implementation of quality control can help in reducing the costs that are involved in
construction. This is done by lowering the levels of waste and rework.
Historic buildings have to be reconstructed and this makes it important to have an
inspection process in place. This is because having an inspection of the finished parts of the
product. The main aim of the quality engineers who are involved in the process of restoration of
a historic building is to ensure that any chances of defects are minimized before the process is
completed. As simple and easy as it may sound, quality control involves implementation of a lot
of work practices. These can include monitoring if the different work practices are going as
planned or not as well as examining the overall quality of the current tasks. The process of

quality control also involves developing daily reports about the tasks that were not completed in
the desired manner and can be improved. Besides all this, communication plays an important role
in ensuring that there is effective quality management. In order to ensure effective
communication, a common list of contacts can be shred will all the people who are a part of the
overall process.
Also, a scheduled meeting can be arranged so that a healthy work environment is
maintained at the work site. Quality can have different meanings based on the different contexts
that it is applied. In context of restoring historic buildings, quality control refers to ensuring that
the things are done according to plans as well as specifications. Quality control also helps in
monitoring the performance of the equipment, like laser scanners, that are used for detecting
defects at the construction site or the site of building repair (CONSTRUCTION QUALITY
CONTROL: 3 Reasons Why Quality Control is Important for a Successful Construction Project,
2020.). It can be said that quality control reduces the chances of errors or mistakes. Quality
control is an important component for the project of repairing a building to get completed
successfully. The process of quality control is important in the same as it ensures that the project
is constructed in accordance with the plan that has been developed.
When a historic building has to be restored or reconstructed, laser scanners are used in
order to develop a map with the help of photographs that are captured with the help of a
technique which is known as aerial triangulation. This complete process can involve a lot of
investment of time as well as cost. Therefore, it is important to control the same and make
important decisions regarding this. The specifications relating to material as well as functional
specifications are decided during the initial stages of the quality control process. And kind of
defects or failures involved in the construction of the historic building can lead to losses that
involve a large amount of costs. In case of even minor defects, there can be a requirement of
reconstruction. This is where quality control comes into picture and help in reducing the overall
level of rework and lead to improvement of production efficiency as well as productivity levels.
Besides this, quality control also helps in avoiding any kind of accidents at the site of building
repair and ensures that informed decisions are taken. This is another of the many benefits of
quality control at the site of construction. As a result, the overall process takes place with ease
with the minimum possible mistakes or errors in the execution of the plan.

Quality control is one of the important components that should be undertaken every time
during the construction or building repair process. Inspections can be conducted from time to
time in order to ensure that the quality of different elements of the project are operating
smoothly. The architect can pay occasional visits to the site. This can help in ensuring that the
process of reconstruction takes place in an effective manner. If any errors or mistakes are
identified, the architect provides a list of areas that need to be improved. Also, when the overall
process is close to completion, the complete project is reviewed. There can be certain factors that
can act as barriers to the overall process of quality control. This means that it is important to
keep an account of the different factors so that any risks associated with the project can be
addressed beforehand and eliminated.
The workers who take part in the reconstruction or building repair process should be
efficient and properly trained so that they can carry out the process in an effective manner. The
right workers should be selected to do the job, which means that they should trained and should
have a concrete knowledge of using the different equipment. One of the approaches that is used
in quality control process is to make sure that there is a quality management program wherein all
the different processes are monitored in an effective way. Different people in the quality control
process are accountable for different processes. Thus, continuous improvement is considered to
be important as it ensures that the project is completed in the most productive way so that the
desired results are obtained. Failure to meet the quality requirements can have various negative
impacts on the overall project. For example, the amount of work for the different parties is
increased and this can lead to a delay in the process.
Another aspect that can be taken into account is the quality assurance process to make
sure that the quality of the projects is maintained until it is completed. There should not be any
kind of vague quality standards as that can act as a barrier to the complete process.

Quality control is a process which is used in order provide desire quality in the product or
service. It includes all the actions of business which are required to provide control and also
ensures that they able to meet specific needs and requirements. In context of construction, it
outlines the technical solutions, process, methods and arrangement of procedures for
construction which is adopted by contractors. The construction program according to the area
and property is constantly refined and changes with the progress of the property. While selecting
and designing the program the viable options are consider and prepared after analyzing
advantages and disadvantages according to the area of property. In the process of developing the
plan for the area which need to be constructed, the existing structure and conditions are studied
and analyses and after that new structure and repairing methods are determined with the help of
construction quality problems and their treatments. The quality of the construction process
referred as the combine integrated actions of human, material, machine, technology and work
environment which highlights the quality of the constructed area. The following operations
should be considered in the process quality control-
 Focus on the program of process that is measures should be taken in order to ensure
quality of technology.
 Monitoring and controlling the factors which are affecting the quality of conditions in the
process.
 Focus on the effectiveness of the activities to ensure completion of activities in a timely
manner.
 Establishing the full control point in the actions in order to determine weaknesses and
accordingly take corrective actions.
Framework of quality for construction of historic buildings
The primary concern of the quality control in context of construction of buildings need to
view the activities related to quality assurance in the actions along with the contractual
specifications and government standards and regulations. The quality control is analysed and
verified through the audits and inspections at the construction site. These audit services are
conducted independently where each aspect is been evaluated that is materials, suppliers,
manufacturers, etc.

Factors considered to evaluate the quality of project(construction of buildings)
The attitude of client towards the project that is their requirements give shape to the
project process and quality. The representative of the client should be present at the construction
site in order to provide approval regarding the progress so that the constructors come to know
that they are performing their work as per the requirements.
The process of quality for construction project
The first step is to draw the quality and specifications which need to be considered while
developing the plans and strategies. In the process of determining the quality the needs and
requirement of the area along with the needs of clients need to be considered by the planning
team. The second step is most important which is construct-ability of design. In this step
according to the present structure and design of the building the new design is been formulated
that is same design is made on the bases of existing design or new design is been formulated
which is quite similar to the existing one. The last step is to attain the set standards of the quality.
In this phase the steps which are taken in the construction process is matched with the strategies
and plans which are formulated earlier. If difference take place then accordingly corrective
measures are taken by the quality team.
Factors which need to be consider for quality control on the building construction projects
The quality control process provide great support in the construction of historic buildings
and without proper check and monitoring it is not completed. The selection of workers
determines the quality that is right set of workers should be considered and selected according to
the requirements of the historic buildings. Along with this according to the skills and abilities of
the workers roles and responsibilities should be assigned for the desire outcomes. It is preferable
to have most experiences and qualified workers in the team and also ensure that the team should
understand the quality requirements of the project. The technology is the most crucial and
valuable factor in the successful completion of work. The appropriate use of technology that is
use of GPS tracking, time tracking etc helps in proper management of work. With the help of
leaders the work becomes easy to understand as their innovative methods and techniques provide
support in the operation process. The use of right material helps in maintaining the quality and
helps in quality control as selection and use of high quality materials helps in meeting the quality

requirements and also helps in meeting the project specifications. The safety and compliance
policies are very important because in construction sites there are high chances of uncertainties
so proper measures should be taken for the safety of workers. Moreover the compliance policies
helps in preventing inadequate or improper work at the workplace because small mistakes in
construction of buildings create huge problems. After completion of work at each stage or level
the work done should be checked by the higher authorities so that if any deficiencies take place
so they are corrected at the initial stage. The proper and effective communication helps in better
implementation of strategies which results in better performance and helps in maintaining the
quality. Furthermore the time durations for daily tasks should be determined and set by the
management so that in last there is no burden and tasks should be completed on time. If there is
more work then the chances of mistake are high and it will effect the quality control. Audit and
testing should be done on the frequent and regular bases to ensure that operations are carried in
the smooth manner and there is no chances of mistake. These tests help in measuring the work
that is structured of the constructed area is done correctly or not. The steps should be taken by
the management in ensuring that if deficiencies occur that they are addressed immediately. The
suppliers and vendor who are supplying the raw materials should be same from the starting that
is are not changed from time to time because changes will adversely effect the quality control.
Moisture detection
Studying the movement of moisture in building materials and parts is essential for
anticipating and staying away from a range of damage and is critical for extending the difficulty
of modified materials in building structures. There are some cost-effective testing strategies for
determining moisture content image development in permeable structure materials. While some
of these methods do not involve deviations from the test each time a moisture profile is measured
(non-hazardous strategies), they are usually tedious and require expensive equipment.
A strategy is proposed for the study of humidity on structures, thanks to the combination
of additional observation methods. The periodic JR inspection of the entire area is associated
with a visual report as well as a scheduled log of information of natural conditions. Terminology
allows for temperature design, while a long history of warm hygrometric limits is accessible for
estimates established at a selected point. The equipment used is usually simple and bulky. A
series of thermal overviews are introduced with some periodic analyzes, using the JR pyrometer.

Visual acuity is of great help in providing results and signaling the appearance of the surface as
the seasons change. About 20 tests are appropriate for measuring warm humidity limits and
assessing the risk of accumulation (Gueli and et.al., 2018).
Accurate estimation of humidity is no small matter. Above all, the favorable conditions
and disadvantages of any strategy must be assessed to measure humidity. Specific immediate or
fertile strategies are accessible, but only non-destructive testing is allowed for proven structures.
The most difficult configuration, by all accounts, is the use of sensors in communication with the
divider. For this reason, there are agreements outside of ownership, which use different corporate
standards. Unfortunately, any estimate of communication corrupts the scale itself, and the
disadvantages of it are great. Whether or not the areas are best chosen in the first place, dramatic
changes often occur later, which require a shift in experiments (Gueli and et.al., 2018).
Prolonged observation requires interim alignment of the humidity sensors. This activity is
particularly confusing for our situation, due to the height of the structure and the difficulties in
reaching the sensors safely. In general, the landmark remains open to the public, and elegant
wiring is both ugly and prone to potential damage from guests. For each of these reasons,
humidity control with methods for setting up a number of regular tests, connected to a multi-
channel information lumberjack is not the best decision. Therefore, a severe limitation in
approximate focus measurement is a bit of a shame, even if information from regulated sensors
allows detailed reference to any quantitative analysis.
Detection of Moisture in Buildings by Thermography
The shell of the structure exchanges energy with the prevailing climate through
convection and radiation. Additionally, large amounts of energy can be associated with changes
in water vapor on the surface of the structure. Thereafter, heat and mass transfer is activated
through the entire structure envelope, driven by transient and half-time boundary conditions. The
numerical number of the hot case is determined by the fact that a fundamental transition
reinforces each other. Furthermore, vapor and mist levels are in harmony within permeable
materials and a continuous phase change occurs within the divider and on its surfaces. A
rearranged arrangement is then examined, trying to reproduce the measurement when a still
warm state is more reasonable (Lourenço, Luso & Almeida, 2006).

IR thermography can be used for moisture assessment as a loop method. One approach in
using thermography is to thematically monitor the humidity due to the disappearance of the
cooling effect of the water. '' Another method is based on a high heat of the water, which is
detected during a transient heating test. The spatial distribution of hot inertia was used to identify
wet areas in the frescoes "or protection from heat". A next step is the quantitative assessment of
the water content using the actual circulation of the surface temperature or additional estimates
with selected methods of selected focusing (Lourenço, Luso and Almeida, 2006).
Effects of evaporation on historical buildings
Thermography allows you to assess the escape rhythm of a divider. This method relies on
a high estimate of the passive heat of the water. Each gram of water released absorbs 2500 [ii
and cools the surface efficiently. So damp areas are colder than arable ones, if they are under
similar boundary conditions. The display of the wonders depends on the air temperature and
relative humidity levels. The movement of the dissipating water ('I') is provided by Fick's law (1)
and corresponds to the settling angle of the water between the permeable surface and the air
outside the boundary level (free air) .
At equilibrium, the moist material supplies the water flux, hence Φ is related to porosity
of the material. The emission coefficient (D) is based on the properties of the mists. Next is the
stability potential (R), temperature (T) and normal atomic flexibility (μ) of the mists. The
proportion of Φ, at a given time, is obtained by estimating the relative humidity (RH) of the free
air and closing the surface of the separation. The thickness of the boundary level (d), at which
the atomic movement takes place, is approaching ∆z. Water molar convection (C) can be
expressed as an element of general air viscosity.
Effects of moisture on thermal parameters
The combination of thermal conductivity with moisture is a much more probable
problem, which is still not fully understood, and most of the proposed models are semi-
empirical5. Note that the transport of hot water, kw = O.58 [W m 'K'], is much higher than the
level of humid air in the pores, ka = O.026 [W m 'IC'], extension of conductivity with
conventional aqueous material. Consequently, the effect of humidity on conductivity is used as a
useful limit. However, since heat can be applied by both conduction and water flow, the misuse
of hot conduction to identify wetlands is highly uncertain.

The reliability of a thermal inertia or effusively (e(k c)°5) vs. moisture makes this finish
attractive for humidity monitoring. Thicker construction thicknesses could be seen as semi-
endless groups and one-sided heating movement. After that, numerical comparison comparisons
become simpler than those for one piece. This arrangement allows for the treatment of a
backward problem in a specific facility. On the other hand, this method requires active surface
stimulation, reducing the areas felt if a false source is used. In the adiabatic case, the surface
temperature is given in a vertical structure, after the platform is heated (Foraboschi and Vanin,
2014).
Considering the wide surface to be controlled an imaging method is entirely appropriate.
The text describes the use of thermography to study the moisture content in structures. Numerous
approaches have been proposed that lead to a hot state of immobility or practical consideration of
defining boundary conditions. Dynamic or unrelated methods are described, both as a result of
the assumption that hot boundaries change, as a result of moisture4, and as a result of the
dependence on the optical properties of the surface on moisture5. In any case, only use a heating
strategy to evaluate the humidity is low6. More recent calculations, considering evaporative
cooling and mass exchange, show a reduced dependence, mainly due to the incomprehensibility
of the models. The optical procedure is limited by the time required for the study (Foraboschi
and Vanin, 2014). As a rule, deciding when to test is very easy, as moisture build-up causes
several surprises. In reality, a building is of varying length, however, "high" boundary conditions
and mixed heat transitions can be maliciously correlated or additional content. Consequently, the
expansion of moisture results in areas that is warmer or colder than normal, depending on the
boundary conditions or mathematical views. Also, temporary thermal filtration can be expensive.
In our case, temperature is basically obtained as a useful limit; according to
literature8’9’0 The calculation used to convert thermograms to humidity maps is not the main
element of this article. Here we identified the appropriateness of wetland areas and their change
over time. In fact, the shape and extent of the soft areas indicate the source of the moisture. For
example, when leavening becomes similar to hair, wet areas are surrounded by a relatively flat
line. Another key issue is the link over time between the expansion of saturated fields and the
occurrence of driving surprises. This approach destroys the highest resolution images of

thermography images by attaching thermograms to quantitative proportions of
thermohygrometric settings. In this way, the unstable observation in space provided by
thermography is overshadowed by the information signature that is consistently consistent in a
season of the normal sensors. This strategy has been implemented and contextual analysis is
being considered. The video recordings of the surface can be used for reinforcement options to
conduct early studies and detect the weak areas in a sustainable manner (Sandrolini and
Franzoni, 2006).
Sources of moisture
The first full detection is the divider-based water well. On a regular basis, one or two
theories are presented to clarify the family situation. The key is to block some of them and look
for the right one. For this reason, multiple boundaries need to be adhered to at all times over a
long period of time, both within large and externally. There are thought to be three main reasons
for the predominance of moisture pathology: high levels of water mist buildup on the surface of
the separators, ingress of running water due to barometric periods, and narrow elevation. A direct
idea of miracles is the best cause, but different causes work simultaneously, with full-blown
partnerships. Demonstrating a reasonable position can take a long estimate. Determining the
estimated focus reference number and expected reference timing that will consume enough
information for reliable analysis is therefore an essential option (Hoła, Matkowski & Hoła,
2017).
Moisture due to leakage of some lines or channels is represented by a near emergency
situation. In this sense, a situation that is easily recognizable in an area is as good as the region.
In addition, the humidity level does not change significantly over time. Taking a shower is a
spectacular sight. In reality, a wet area can spread over a large surface, however it is vaguely
related to the presence of wind and rain (Hoła, Matkowski and Hoła, 2017). Regardless of which
there is a delay period of two days or two and coverage is pretty normal. On the off chance that
the humidity does not rise from the beginning, a solid slope can be seen across the vertical
profile. The slope changes with the seasons and may be blocked by a boundary that does not go
down the watercourse. Finally, from time to time the heat may build up on a cold surface and the
moisture will spread through the separation. So there is warm scaffolding, along with low
temperature and high air viscosity. Hot expansion is routinely due to the inclusion of the

architectural structure made of more portable materials than conventional room separators. Up to
this point they are easily identifiable and their surface temperature must be controlled. It is
dependent on time both from time to time and from day to day, but in addition it is dependent on
the residence. Leaking air from inside the heater is another source of moisture on a cool outside
surface. By remembering these rules and considering different needs and limitations, it is
possible to design the way sensors are observed and organized.
To make it easy to use for prestigious structures, too many changes in today’s desire can
damage the existing structure. In the event that a structure with much less protection does not
need to be heated and cooled to an internal temperature of 21 degrees throughout the year, results
are irreversible and some damage, except the use of height and expensive energy. Warm air, in
which moderately high humidity measurements, encountered cold parts, such as spring / late
spring, is an effective way to create a buildup inside the casing of the structure. This is also
exacerbated by new sources of indoor muscle, as people today expect greater access to indoor
water than at certain times. As it has been ruled out (Erhardt, Tumosa and Mecklenburg, 2007)
accumulation at the outer shells is a common cause of damage. The article focuses on the
destruction of compositions, but a similar problem applies to various objects near wet pieces, for
example, tables, woven artwork, furniture and so on. In winter, when high outdoor humidity is
low, heating can also transport moisture removed from the frame materials just like furniture and
remove it from the room when salted, resulting in a lack of salting.
Although pollution caused by cases in a particular case cannot be identified from the use
or support of the facility in question itself, but rather from external sources, introduced here as is
usually done by man complexity. Pollution has few ramifications. Again, the unbalanced
temperature distribution causes problems because thermophoresis, as seen in (Camuffo, 1998),
can bind air particles to the cold partition and to the roof surface. This is both self-destructive as
it can stain surfaces and there may be a risk of further mechanical damage when toxins are
removed by recall, but this can also provide a better environment for different types of
microbiological development (Dornieden, et al., 2000) .
Multi sensor monitoring network

Thermography is applied at first to find out the best locations for the fixed temperature
probes. An expert operator indicates locations where colder areas are found, taking into account
actual boundary conditions.
To increase the number of points measured, especially for hardly accessible places, a
scanning of the surface has been periodically performed by means of an IR pyrometer. Each
month or when particularly circumstances happens, the average temperature of interesting areas
is measured in such away. Also the visual appearance of the surface is useful and easily acquired
by a conventional video tape recorder (Grinzato, Peron and Strada, 1999).
Simulation of thermal problem
To overcome challenges in obtaining test information, the use of an appropriate
framework model is helpful. The inconsistency of most interesting structures encourages the use
of a mathematical model. The aim is to fully expand the information on the thermohydrometric
behavior of the structure. Predicting the response of a structure under remarkable ecological
conditions or changing the use of space is a definitive outcome, this is an ambitious goal. as a
first step, the information obtained from a framework programmed in a certain number of focus
could be expanded. Also, information that is damaged and lost as a result of specific
inconsistencies can be corrected.
A number of modern mathematical models have been established to provide a warm
reconstruction of structures from the physiological information of the site and the physical
properties of materials. Also, these tools, created for both private and corporate structures, can be
useful in the field of identifying and overcoming authentic structures. The amazing code
TRNSYS can be used in this challenge. It depends on the arrangement of the conduction
conditions with the approach for exchange work that allows unilateral heat transfer. This
profiteering is appropriate for most cases, but it is prohibited for authentic structures such as
large castles and places of worship where there are barrels, cross cellars and cellars, loops,
sections and generally three-dimensional architectural structures. This type of structure, in its
current work, has gone into page page development. The communication between the specific
architectural structure and the lean structure was assessed by reconstructing finite parts and
studying the recyclable reaction in a powerful and sensible state.

The air thermal balance can be achieved by subroutine methods which have been
extensively tested, evaluating the indoor air per hour and the surface temperature of the dividers.
Despite the framework of construction and material calculations, information about natural
arousal is still needed. After that, it is necessary to estimate every hour: air temperature and
relative humidity of the sun and precipitation, wind speed and conduction. The same hygrometric
subroutine can be applied by obtaining the air humidity balance. The level of internal
relationship is measured by this. Limited support for separators and the impact of advertising and
surface removal should be considered.

Chapter 7
There are various 3G technologies which are used while entering the landscape and
managing the pulmonology of intervention. There are two day restricted data which is used for
managing the physical model of pathological Airways by 3D printing (Bagheri, and Jin, 2019).
This allows help in managing patient-specific shapes and helping physicians for guiding and
planning the procedures effectively. There are computer assisted the signature patient-specific
devices which are used for managing various theoretical emphasis and these are helpful in
managing a wide range of situations. There are various 3D printing technologies which are used
for creativity and managing the freedom for processing the fabrication and design. There is
involvement of managing various artists and managing the liberating of unique qualities of
technology for printed art work. For production and Restoration of art. There is ability 3D
printing and managing the revolutionary of jeweler market and exporting audio devices for
managing fabrics like degree of responsibility. There are various direct manufacturing and
modelling which are involved in managing traditional methods for providing architectural
environment. There are various multifaceted design which can be introduced for analysing the
digital fabrication of technologies.is a creative industry and it requires 3D printing technologies
for providing good designs and outfits to people that can inspire various clients and customers.
There are several designers which are using 3D printing for taking exact measurements of model
and then designing a digital scan which is used by CAD in order to manage the digital workflow
and empowerment of individuals. This is involved in managing the form labs and 3D technology
is used for creating accessories of clothing in gold and Chrome plating (Valot, and et.al 2019).
This kind of technology is in valuable for industries and this is known as the key for success of
various designers of the world. there are various 3D printers which are involved in working as a
prototype to a client and it is distinguished on the basis of their product.
Escaping the limitations - there is involvement of managing the designing and execution
of various scales that include managing of small art pieces. This is required for creating intricate
designs that can be helpful in achieving the handicrafts alone. There are several designers which
are involved in managing design details and enhancing freedom for creating 3D printed art
design for stop there is creation of installation product so that space-saving design elements can
be presented (Skylar-Scott, and et.al 2019)
.

Increasing the standards of production and prototyping – there are several artists who are
using digital technologies for changing and managing approach for production and prototyping.
These are involved in managing the work within small and large media and it is used for
accessing, preserving and iterating through to designs which are digitally stored for making
production process less expensive.t here are several artists who are managing the copies of work
in order to speed and is the use of prototyping of digital media. It can be explained with an
example that there are several ceremics and laws which are introducing prototype using the 3D
technology.
Erasing boundaries between artistic discipline – according to 3D printing, It is seen that
there is versatile and remarkable pieces for managing the technology and working upon The
nervous system effectively. There are various creative feels like jewellery, housewares and
which are involved in managing architecture (Kuang, and et.al, 2019). Such products are
involved in inspiring biological and other sources as well as processes. There are various
biological processes which are mapped into new form by using the computer aided design and
this is involved in turning of ceramics into ceramic raisin material.
New technology like nervous system is used for converting ceramic reason and creating
cellular tea set. Phrases used for imposing upon usual design and manufacturing of techniques
which are unusual geometric designs and have structural integrity as well as durability.
There are a number of benefits of 3-D printing first of which being it is very inexpensive.
When comparing 3-D printers to other significant competitors or complimentary activities
available it is inexpensive. 3-D printing is successful you taking more branches in the economy
successfully. Until recently there were only experiments done by some universities and large
organisations. But today there are companies who have successfully developed a 3D printer and
are providing the device for consumers. One of major use of 3-D printing is also done for
disaster relief efforts. This is increasing apparently throughout the globe (Shahrubudin, Lee,
and Ramlan, 2019). It is one of the most compelling use of 3-D printing which helps in disaster
relief by a tech oriented NGO which has a light upon 3-D printing to make sure that they are
making water pipes fittings and washers which were flying after the severe earthquake in Nepal
in 2015. 3-D printing is the best way to suitably produce various spare parts and he’s also have
potential to help various communities and disaster prone areas in order to build their
infrastructure again quickly.

There are also a number of benefits which can be brought by 3-D printing other than
disaster prone area. 3-D printing has successfully achieved a possible solution for the people who
are building their house in low incomes. It has also been seen that ICON and new story made a
3D printed house for $4000. 3D printing technology is very useful in creating a single story
house in just 24 hours which can successfully help in housing development areas. A design
agency has also proposed the development of 3D printed boards which can help the homeless in
New York to combat homelessness in the city. This is also called as pod project who made,
which consist of a prefabricated aluminium shell and 3-D printed polycarbonate interior modules
which can be fitted to form a number of different range of interiors for the house.
Another major benefit which 3-D printing is providing is bringing various industries such
as aviation, aerospace and automotive industry together. It is also bringing various immediate
benefits to humanity as 3-D printing can help manufacturing industry in a number of ways. They
can also help them to reduce their waste and produce only on demand. One of the major benefit
of 3-D printing is also reduction in weight of products. It can also be made a cost-effective
process by use of automation. Can successfully reduce emission of various pollutants from
vehicles and aeroplanes which will be beneficial for environment.
It is also seen that one of the most diverse ecosystem present in planet which is coral
reefs are most fragile. There are various negative effects on underwater ecosystem what
remained under sea suffering due to rise of water temperature and unexpected pollutants released
in water. 3-D printing is also working to re-invigorate coral growth and also sustain a number of
different aquatic species so that they can live in reefs. Emerging objects, Boston ceramics are
various organisations who consist of 3-D printing settlements in order to make sure that they are
meeting coral larvae’s needs as well as various requirement for effective reef restoration.
3-D printing is very effective for healthcare sector. It is successfully used in dental care
there are 3-D printer titanium and polymer implants which are already implanted in a number of
different patients. 3D printed hip, knee replacement are also very common technology is used
today which helps in producing lighter structures that can promote bone integration successfully.
All these companies who are manufacturing implant for human body or guided by regulatory
commission in Europe, US and China which have to be approved before bringing into
application. There are a number of benefits of 3-D printing first of which being it is very

Digital heritages used as digital media within the service of preserving natural Heritage
and culture. Nowadays 3D technologies are used for enhancing digitisation of cultural heritage
and enabling the permanent access to work which is ranging from literature to paintings.it
provides the idea of transformation of material object into virtual copy which has having positive
as well as negative implications. The digital Heritage stewardship is known as digital curation of
redevelopment of collaboration. There are stepping away of typical management practices and it
is the contribution of social and historical context.
3D printing walkthrough concept is based upon the 3D printer software conductive
filament and non conductive filament. This is involved in guiding and printing the prototype of
actual image which the individual requires. For 3D printer, there is requirement of more than
25% of highlighted Ness and managing small size of shapes and average density. There is need
to label the size and shape effectively for managing and keeping the images in organised manner.

3D printing is providing help for various medical problems and The reason by which it has been
enhanced all over the world. In context of cultural heritage, 3D printing is used for innovating art
and cultural heritage comma infrastructure, forts ,etc. Please provide help in managing various
aspects including Ford projects and innovation projects conducted by government.

CONCLUSION
On analysis of different research articles, it has been observed that laser scanning today,
is among the most widely used techniques in order to preserve and restore old historic buildings.
There are many buildings like the Notre Dame Cathedral and the Chapter House of the Durham
Cathedral. These buildings have been restored by generating billions of data points that
collectively form a point cloud. There are different steps involved in the implementation of the
laser scanning technique. There are many benefits of using laser scanning technique for
reconstruction and restoration of historic buildings. Some of them include creating a better
structure in less time and have a 3D structure that is an exact replica of the architectural work.
It has also been found that the laser technique helped in getting the measurements as
precisely as possible. This is because the case studies that have been described above, helped the
preservationists in obtaining a clear and very precise picture of the structures like walls etc. that
are damaged or lost. The results also show that the technique of 3D laser scanning can be used
for different applications. This can include quality control and assurance, for carrying out a
survey, dimensional analysis as well as dimensional analysis. There are also other measuring
devices like CMM as well as other hand tools, but they can only measure one data point at a
time. Due to this, they consume a lot of time and are difficult. In the case studies that have been
defined above, it has been found that 3D laser scanning recorded billions of data points per
second as the scanner moved very rapidly over the objects.
Also, the results that were obtained, were accurate and since in the case of Notre Dame
Cathedral, there was a risk of the building being collapsed, the technique proved to be very
helpful as the preservationists did not have to go inside the building and still, they were able to
gather the accurate point cloud of the building. Therefore, this is an important technique that can
be used in the reconstruction of historic buildings. This is because it helps in reconstruction of
the structures that have been damaged or lost. It can be used in other fields as well and is gaining
a lot of importance over the years. Therefore, this is how the technique is useful and can be used
in different fields as well in order to gain better understanding of the lost structures of a historic
building.
