A comparison of photogrammetry software packages for the documentation of buildings

Résumé

Architectural photogrammetry has completely changed during the last decade due to the development
of new digital cameras, new algorithms for data extraction and image processing, and new software
packages. But, contrary to aerial photogrammetry mainly based on stereo-methods, there is no
worldwide method for recording and restitution objects in terrestrial photogrammetry. Every object is
different and the obstacles located in the field really influence the data acquisition method.
The carrying out of non-metric digital cameras and of several commercial software packages
dedicated to digital architectural photogrammetry applications is attractive for many users including
photogrammetrists (above all surveyors) and non-photogrammetrists (as architects, conservators, and
archaeologists). In this paper, we discuss the characteristics, advantages and disadvantages of some
commercial and academic software packages usable for building documentation and modeling.
We present also a project from CIPA (The ICOMOS & ISPRS Committee for Documentation of
Cultural Heritage) proposed at the XVII CIPA Symposium in Olinda /Brazil. In this project called “A
reference data set for digital close-range photogrammetry", the authors are interested in the
comparison of different digital photogrammetry software capacities, used in 3D-object reconstruction.
The available data contains a questionnaire and several digital photographs of the old city hall in
Zurich (Switzerland). These photos have been taken with two low cost non-metric digital cameras FUJI
DS300 and OLYMPUS C1400L. The most important questions of the questionnaire given with the
dataset have been extracted in this paper to analyse the performances of digital architectural
photogrammetry software packages. An example of 3D model of the Zurich City Hall is also presented
at the end of the paper. The digital images and the control information for this CIPA project are
available on the web at http://cipa.uibk.ac.at.
