Modeling of Adamkayalar Reliefs with current techniques

Abstract

Throughout history, many civilizations with different ethnic and national values have lived in Anatolia. In many parts of Turkey's possible to encounter this civilization's cultural heritage. Cultural heritages in the world; Until today, it has been affected by natural events such as earthquakes, floods and fire. These have been completely or partially destroyed as a result of human activities. Cultural heritage is very precious to people and assurance. Quick and practical documentation is of great importance to this. Various methods are used for this documentation process. Among these methods, terrestrial laser scanning (TLS) and Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) photogrammetry are frequently preferred techniques in recent years. Both methods ensure recording cultural heritages and producing 3D realistic models. It is not always easy to collect data in places with cultural value because of their historical importance and location. At this juncture, the use of terrestrial laser scanners and UAVs makes an important contribution to the documentation of cultural heritage. This study aims to examine the Adamkayalar reliefs, by using TLS and UAV photogrammetry. By processing the data obtained from both methods, a 3D model of the study area was produced and the results were evaluated.
