Melk Monastery 20.09.2007

Monastery Melk was scanned in 2005 as a RIEGL demo-project. The field campaign concentrated on the main inner-court of the monastery. The surrounding parts of the monastery are just visualized as a block-model. The aim of this pilot-project was to show the workflow of creating a high-accurate 3D-model. Besides, high resolution 3D-orthophotos were also calculated, to be used for facade-measurements. For visualization-purposes also external data like CAD-planes and aerial orthophotos were integrated in the RiSCANPRO-project. The data of our pilot-project was adopted by the local government of Lower Austria, a RIEGL customer, who will continue the data-acquisition at this site.
