Abstract

The geometric documentation of a cultural heritage site is a demanding task due to the complex morphology of the objects as well as the need for large scale performance. The use of two rapidly evolving approaches, the Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV) and the Dense Image Matching is an attractive solution to extract quality photogrammetric products like orthoimages, 3D point clouds, etc. In this paper, an orthoimage of Asclepieion at the Ancient Messene is produced using UAV imagery and applying Dense Image Matching and its quality and accuracy are compared to the products of a traditional photogrammetric procedure.
