SUSTAINABLE ARCHITECTURE: RESTORATION OF THE FACADES OF HISTORIC BUILDINGS USING MODERN METHODS

This paper presents a comparative study of different methods used in building front reconstruction. It compares modern methods of automatic image acquisition and processing of building fronts which have been subject to degradation. The first method presented involves using data captured with a drone. The drone captured multiple photos which have been stitched together using software to create an orthophoto map. This map was then used to vectorize the image, by using the Vector Magic software which automatically transforms a raster intro a vector network. The second method presented takes a different approach by creating a point cloud of the building directly with the help of the Leica Scan Station 2. A comparative study is presented, by showing the advantages and disadvantages of both methods, as well as their similarities and differences. We can note from this study that a reliable solution for conservation and restoration of historical buildings is available by combining modern technology and known software solutions.
