  • Novel methods in 3D reconstruction can offer heritage preservers and curators new insights

The EU funded project ,,TITANIUM” is orientated on urban modeling Geometric models that are accurate and visually faithful. This is significant way to perform and set up urban modeling. It is improved way to scanning and presentation of historical site and turn it into a tangible subject.
