Description
Summary:The 3D modeling techniques applied on laser scanner data are becoming increasingly relevant in the cultural heritage dissemination field. However the need for a satisfactory similarity between model and real object collides with the need to preserve the original accuracy of the measurement of the former than the latter. The analysis of the Compañía de Jesús facade has tried to cope this duality using the power of reverse modeling and texturing, the latter is really important due to the function of the photographic images into accurate description of materials and colours, as well as in the creation of 3D models using UV mapping tools, which are a very advanced field of the computer graphic software.
