PHOTOGRAMMETRY.
We use state of the art photogrammetry technology to create a holistic and accurate 3D surface model of these sites. We use LiDAR or laser scanning as well as high resolution imagery from the ground and from drones that is processed and combined into one model. This model forms the basis for many of our activities at View360, from the creation of 3D models to beautiful and immersive virtual reality environments.
Mamallapuram - Shore Temple, was captured 2020 - during the 1st wave of Covid-19 lockdown in Tamilnadu. ASI given the work-order to document the group of monuments in Mamallapuram with use of drone for Aerial perspectives and also for the ground-level photographs.
Here we have not used the Lidar scanners or laser scanners, This 3D model rendered with Aerial and the ground-level images only.
