Documenting historical monuments using smartphones: a case study of Fakih Dede Tomb, Konya

Abstract

Cultural heritage and historical monuments are the memories of societies and enable future generations to learn about the past. However, historical monuments from the past to the present have been subjected to many destructions, natural or unnatural. Thanks to advances in technology, it is easier to document historical monuments using digital photogrammetric methods. Today, we see the methods used in documenting historical artifacts as traditional measurement, laser scanning, and photogrammetric methods or combinations of them. In this study, historical artifacts were tried to be documented through close-up photogrammetry methods, which is a sub-working area of photogrammetry, through images taken with non-metric cameras of smartphones that we use frequently in our daily lives. Planned geodesic measurement and photography should be done in order to perform three-dimensional (3D) modeling with close-up photogrammetry. During the study, the checkpoints were measured using geodesic methods on the historical monument and part of it was reserved for accuracy analysis. The tomb of Fakih Dede in Konya, which is an important point of visit in the region has been chosen.
