Ancient buildings hold immense cultural value as symbols of history and heritage. Preserving and restoring these requires meticulous attention to detail and innovative solutions. In the realm of digital preservation, Autel Robotics offers a groundbreaking approach using drones for 3D mapping and modeling. 

By harnessing the power of Autel drones and our leading software suite, Autel Mapper, we can unlock the true potential of ancient building conservation and exploration. Let’s take a look at how drones can help preserve ancient buildings and cultural sites.

The Power of Drone Mapping and Surveying

Ancient buildings present unique challenges for traditional surveying methods, with damaged or inaccessible areas often hindering surveying or documenting attempts. Drone solutions, however, offer unparalleled advantages in cultural heritage protection. 

Autel drones can access difficult and dangerous areas as they designed to be mobile, with everything a user needs, be that the remote controller or drone itself, easily carried onto any site. This proves to be an irreplaceable tool for surveying and mapping ancient buildings. Drones quickly generate precise 2D or 3D models, which can then be easily imported into software such as Autel Mapper to generate comprehensive digital models.  Digitalizing this iinformation allows for teams to organize maintenance, restoration, and historical site development. This technology revolutionizes cultural relics protection, education, tourism, and related industries.

Proximity Photogrammetry and Close-to-Photography Technology

Proximity photogrammetry, a fundamental concept in drone mapping and surveying, plays a pivotal role in capturing accurate data for ancient buildings. This technique involves collecting and processing photogrammetric data from a distance of fewer than 305 meters, resulting in high-precision 3D renderings. When surveying ancient buildings, close-to-photography technology is employed to create initial rough models, which serve as the foundation for planning refined routes. By carefully capturing images, surveying and mapping processing software facilitates cluster reconstruction, producing detailed and comprehensive digital archives.
