Abstract: An Integration of GIS and Digital Photogrammetry for Conservation of Monuments Geographical Information Systems (GIS) represent an applicable branch of information technology. GIS support the import of geospatial data from a variety of sources, including imagery. An appropriate environment for providing the spatial information needed by architects working with historic buildings and archaeologists might be soft-copy photogrammetry coupled with, or linked to, GIS, forming an Archaeological/Architectural Information System (A/AIS). Reasons for this convey is the simplicity of digital photogrammetry procedures, extensive knowledge and understanding of certain off-the-shelf GIS packages and the scarcity of personnel and equipment capable of performing hard-copy photogrammetric tasks. Technical reasons for considering a GIS package as a component of A/AIS include: · An accessible archive management system, · Visualisation tools, · CAD tools, · Use of a world coordinate !
system, and, · Data base tables linked to graphic objects. The contribution of digital photogrammetry, CAD system and GIS present attractive tools and solutions to the problems experienced by archaeologists, historians and architects concerned with historic buildings, and other objects. However it is necessary to investigate the strengths and weaknesses of these tools and solutions, if it is to be certain that the proposed A/AIS meets the needs of the proposed users. The approaches include digital image enhancement, digital rectification and restitution, feature extraction for the creation of 3D GIS models from the photogrammetric record and the computer visualisation of cultural buildings. This paper also highlights the creation and implementation of an A/AIS by integrating digital terrestrial photogrammetry and AutoCAD facilities as applicable to support the restoration of Anobanini Rock, a project in Iran.
