Abstract
The contribution is intended to address some of the photogrammetric solutions available today in the field of architectural-archaeological survey and the related application outcomes, evaluated during both the acquisition phase of metric data than in those of effective yield of refunds infographics. Therefore we have focused on the virtual reconstruction of one of the most emblematic and symbolic of the Algerian culture, the mosque of Mansourah, returning the minaret as a time it appeared before its partial collapse, namely correspondent in geometry, textures and colours. Although the purpose of the entire project can be summarised in promoting the knowledge and dissemination of Algerian cultural heritage, one of the aspect with more original approach of the research involved the validation of an integrated methodology, by “objective” comparison between photogrammetric survey techniques implemented. This analysis has led to the application of the theory of errors on the survey of the elevations, from photogrammetric stereoscopic and multi-image. The study concludes, finally, with the possibility to adapt the research to similar studies or minor architectures. The documented example, in fact, shows how it is possible to achieve reliable reconstructions of each structure, although presently destroyed, bringing to light traces of a story now lost.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
