Acropolis of Athens: Recording, Modeling and Visualising a Major Archaeological Site

A comprehensive digital documentation of the Acropolis of Athens was achieved through advanced geospatial technologies. The project successfully integrated polygonometric networks, photogrammetry, terrestrial laser scanning, and 3D modeling to create detailed topographic models, orthophotomosaics, and a geospatial database. These innovations enabled precise visualization and management of the Acropolis's rock formations, walls, and the Erehtheion, setting a benchmark for archaeological site preservation and analysis. Challenges in data acquisition and integration were addressed, demonstrating the feasibility of large-scale digital reconstruction for heritage conservation.
