Abstract
This study addresses the pressing need for expeditious architectural digitization in the midst of the ongoing conflict in Ukraine, where traditional methods are hindered by high rates of destruction and damage. The proposed methodology combines terrestrial laser scanning, digital photogrammetry, and linear-angle geodetic measurements to streamline the process of data acquisition, providing an effective solution for preserving architectural heritage. Emphasis is placed on prioritizing data acquisition over 3D modeling, recognizing it as the critical step for ensuring the accurate preservation of architectural monuments for future restoration endeavours. Results demonstrate the methodology’s efficiency, showcasing significant time savings in data acquisition and processing across multiple projects, thus affirming its suitability for urgent digitization efforts. This approach not only addresses the immediate need for preserving cultural heritage amidst conflict but also lays the groundwork for comprehensive 3D modeling and restoration once the situation stabilizes, affirming its relevance and impact.
