8 HERITAGE BUILDINGS IN DUBAI

The project was commissioned by the City of Dubai. The project called for the scanning and development of 8 historic buildings and their surroundings. Point clouds in RGB colours were collected utilising Riegl VZ 400 and Faro Focus. Photographic information was recorded using both Nikon and Canon equipment all controlled with a Leica TCRA 1101 total station. From the highly-detailed datasets collected on site, a variety of products were produced and delivered including Textured 3D CAD models, TruViews, Panotours, 2D CAD Drawings and Interactive walkthroughs.

Challenges of this project

This project posed a significant challenge but at the same time provided a great environment for technical innovation. We were able to enhance and develop the existing process as well as learning new skills. The specification called for works to be completed to a high precision, this coupled with the historic and irregular nature of the buildings caused difficulty with producing solid models. The volume of data collected also caused problems with editing. The solution for the manipulation of such a large amount of data was to use simplified models for texturing and detailed models for animation creation.
This project was the also the first time we delivered an interactive walkthrough as a product. This is a great product for historic buildings where clients want to offer an online interactive experience.
