Abstract (in English)

Cultural heritage management involves a range of methodologies, from data acquisition, recording and visualisation to information management, technology interchange and communication. Close range photogrammetry provides completeness, precision, uniform accuracy, texture and three dimensional data, while interactive 3D virtual tour is used to present a full cover of monuments of cultural heritage, in immersive “lively” appearance. The Church of Panagia Episkepsi built in 1867, located in the traditional settlement of Varousi, is one of the oldest and most historic cultural heritage monuments in the city of Trikala, Greece. It is a monument of significant architectural elements, with rich traditional decoration and splendid wood carvings. Close range photogrammetric techniques are used to create a 3D model of the monument, while a series of panoramic images made of stereoscopic images to embed 3D modelling in virtual tour. Accuracy considerations with respect to image overlap, luminosity, projection and filtering are taken into account. Photographic and descriptive characteristics are also embedded at the virtual tour to provide a historical and technical overview of the monument. Both the 3D model and the virtual tour are uploaded to the official site of the church for dissemination and outreach purposes, from visitors and tourists to theoretical and technical scientists.
