| Abstract |
After years of the russian’s military invasion of Ukraine, preserving the architectural heritage has become more critical. Moreover, the world’s increased interest in the historical heritage of Eastern Europe countries prompts the scientific community to restore the building environment with an up-to-date computer quickly means for 3D modeling. Therefore, the research aims at the virtual reproduction of historical heritage objects with the extensive use of existing computational software. The research methodology includes collecting information from historical, archaeological, cartographic, and other sources. It was compared with archaeological and historical maps. Further superimposing of schemes with the related features on a working map was also realized. A detailed study of the object’s current state for the case study of virtual 3D reconstruction was carried out based on the Google Maps services and Geographic Information System (GIS) mapping. Moreover, a relief for the studied territory was analyzed using available topography and geodetic data. As a result of the research methodology implementation, the relief model allowed the reproduction of the structure of architectural objects. This allowed creating the initial 3D model, designing its layout, and realizing the final texturing and rendering. The developed virtual model makes it possible to reproduce essential architectural, cultural, and historical heritage objects. © 2024, The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerland AG. |
