Innovative 3D Model of Odesa Museum: A New Approach to Archaeological Research
Scientists from the «Archaica» laboratory have completed the creation of a new 3D model of the Odesa Archaeological Museum, employing numerous scans and photographs. This will facilitate further research on the museum's condition.
During the project, the team conducted several dozen scans and took thousands of pictures. One of the main challenges was capturing the roof, as the use of drones was restricted due to the wartime situation.
The team managed to combine different methods, taking some photographs directly from the roof. Ground markers were placed to assist in stitching the images into a cohesive model. A total of 600 photos were used for the roof.
In addition to external scanning, archaeologists performed digital imaging inside the museum. The internal model created will be beneficial for the museum's needs. Six people, one scanner, and two cameras were involved in the project.
The 3D model captures the current state of the building, allowing for ongoing monitoring of its technical condition, especially regarding potential damage from military actions.
