Abstract

In the context of an integrated pilot study between the HafenCity University Hamburg, the Jade University of Applied Sciences in Oldenburg and the Agency for Geo-Information and Surveying Hamburg the Bismarck monument in Hamburg has been scanned with the Z+F IMAGER 5006 3D laser scanning system to generate a virtual 3D model of the monument from the laser scanning data using different programs. A substantial aspect for modelling was data reduction, since the generated 3D model has to be integrated into the city model of Hamburg with the smallest possible data volume. Therefore a combination of triangle meshing and CAD turned out to be an optimal solution. Furthermore, the extent to which the modelled data can be reduced by appropriate polygon decimation, in order to derive a geometrically correct and visually attractive result (virtual 3D model), has been investigated. The geometrical quality of the model was evaluated on the basis of reference values. As well as the integration of the virtual model into the city model of Hamburg the generated virtual model was also prepared for interactive visualisations. For the entire processing of the project time management of the individual work procedures has been calculated, in order to derive statements about the economy of the project. Thus conclusions/recommendations for further projects on object recording, modelling and visualization of such historical buildings and monuments using this procedure with this technology could be provided.
