Terrestrial and low altitude image based modeling for documentation of Malaysian historical monuments

Image based modeling and documentation are become important elements in historical or heritage representation. As an alternative method, The Digital Close-range Photogrammetry (DCRP) approach offers a manual and semi automatic measurement process to provide the digital base drawing for creating the three dimensional (3D) model. In this paper overall view of measurement method, visualization and modeling are presented. The final output is a digital visualization of various angle model, viewing side plan and three dimensional models.
