Three-dimensional documentation of heritage buildings and objects is important for conservation, restoration, visualization, education and preservation. When it comes to complex architectural structures such as castles, no single modeling technique is capable of yielding cost-effective, highly detailed and accurate photo-realistic 3D results. Therefore the integration of all the actual surveying techniques is leading to the best 3D modeling results.
