Monitoring History with Modern Tools
The Boskapel van Imde, a cherished historical chapel nestled near Wolvertem, stands as a testament to local history and architectural heritage. Like many aging structures, its intricate facade, including delicate ornaments and structural elements, requires careful monitoring to ensure its preservation. Traditional inspection methods can be costly, time-consuming, and potentially intrusive or risky. HOVVR provided a detailed, non-invasive inspection solution using advanced drone technology and photogrammetry techniques to assess the chapel's facade condition accurately and efficiently.
From photos to actionable insights
The photos we capture are just the starting point. The real value comes afterward:
From photos to 3D model: We process the images into a dense cloud of millions of points, which are then connected and textured with the original photos. The result is a high-resolution, photo-realistic 3D model of the Boskapel.
Explore every detail: This digital twin lets you virtually walk around the chapel, zoom in on any area, and check details like masonry, ornaments, or cracks from your screen. Each spot is linked to the original photo for close-up inspection.
Practical insights: The model provides a complete and measurable overview of the facade, easy to share with all stakeholders. It forms a reliable baseline for planning maintenance and guiding conservation efforts.
