Image-based 3D Shape Reconstruction of Byzantine and Paleochristian Monuments

Advanced image-based 3D reconstruction techniques have successfully captured the intricate details of Thessaloniki's Paleochristian and Byzantine monuments, offering unprecedented precision for cultural heritage preservation. By leveraging state-of-the-art algorithms and commercial software, researchers generated highly accurate 3D surface models of iconic structures, providing a digital toolkit that bridges gaps in traditional documentation methods. This approach not only preserves historical data but also enables deeper analysis of architectural features, textures, and structural integrity—key for conservation efforts. The study highlights the potential of these technologies to revolutionize how heritage sites are studied and protected.
