Low-cost Unmanned Aerial Vehicles and Structure from Motion algorithms are well established and satisfactory tools for surveying architectural Cultural Heritage. The case study discussed here concerns the survey of an object of particulate morphology: a 23-sail dome, the abandoned Woodpecker discotheque located in central-northern Italy. In order to digitize this complex, it was necessary to use a network of cameras capable of creating nadir and oblique images. The proposed method has proven convincing in a real-world application for its feasibility, ease of implementation, and surface coverage; it can be used in a wide range of applications on artifacts of various morphologies.

Abstract
Low-cost Unmanned Aerial Vehicles and Structure from Motion algorithms are well established and satisfactory tools for surveying architectural Cultural Heritage. The case study discussed here concerns the survey of an object of particulate morphology: a 23-sail dome, the abandoned Woodpecker discotheque located in central-northern Italy. In order to digitize this complex, it was necessary to use a network of cameras capable of creating nadir and oblique images. The proposed method has proven convincing in a real-world application for its feasibility, ease of implementation, and surface coverage; it can be used in a wide range of applications on artifacts of various morphologies.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
