揭开了谜团 - 带有激光扫描的古老水时钟

Case study

Author: Reka Vasszi

Inventing devices for keeping track of time is something mankind experimented with for thousands of years before the first digital clocks were invented. Ancient civilisations observed astronomical objects, such as the sun or the moon to determine time, dates and seasons. Along with sundials, water clocks were among the first devices used for measuring time from the 16Th世纪以来。

与古老的水锁相比,建造了一座更复杂的液压锁房屋,该房屋建立在摩洛哥Fez的Medersa Bouanania,神学科学学院和会众清真寺。教育和宗教综合体是在1357年建造的,在苏丹·布伊丹(Sultan Bou Inan)的梅里尼德(Merinid)统治下,他委托液压 - 锁定了正确的祈祷时期,向穆赞(Muezzin)传达正确的祈祷时期,穆赞(Muezzin)每天五次祈祷并背诵祈祷的呼吁,在清真寺。

Recently, the Medersa underwent a restoration project by the Agency of Development and Rehabilitation of the city of Fez (ADER-Fès). Together with local artisans, ADER-Fès, reconstructed the Medersa’s unique glazed earthenware mosaics and its fabulous wooden ceiling of carved cedar.

在3D激光扫描技术的帮助下,专家现在正在恢复神秘的体重动力液压时钟,当Saadian王朝取代Merinid统治者并将首都从FEZ转移到Marrakech时,该液压时钟停止工作。为了揭示水时钟内部机制的奥秘并完全恢复了它,来自FEZ的测量公司Geo Lambert的专家扫描了液压锁房屋的立面和内部的。Leica BLK360成像激光扫描仪和Leica RTC3603D reality capture solution.


在狭窄地区进行测量



It is said that a magician created this elaborate hydraulic-powered clock that released metal balls from 12 little doors into brass bowls on the lower beams to chime out the five calls to prayer. This unique technical masterpiece, unfortunately, has not survived the centuries in its original condition.

为了使时钟再次栩栩如生,要求Geo Lambert测量师扫描时钟,产生矫形图像和3D网格模型,重点是2D高程和横截面。到达时钟对于专家来说是具有挑战性的,因为它垂直位于Mersa的墙壁上。此外,立面具有狭窄的拱门,较大的激光扫描设备无法合适。

BLK360使我有可能通过小尺寸和快速设置来调查时钟后面非常狭窄的大厅Geo Lambert的高级测量师Adam Bouramdane说。

To come across the challenges, Geo Lambert chose the portable and lightweight BLK360 to capture the clock in detail. Being the first company in the Maghreb to have acquired the BLK360 from leica's new selling unit in Morocco and with a large background in 3D scan, the surveying experts were able to scan the unique time keeping equipment and its environment in a day. To manage project complexities with accurate and reliable 3D representations, the team scanned the heritage building with the RTC360.


扫描最好的细节



在清洁和注册捕获的数据后,团队创建了历史时钟的3D模型,这将是未来研究和恢复的基础。

好点的精度和密度very lightweight and portable made the BLK360 and the RTC360 perfect for heritage surveying, especially in narrow areas,” said Raghib Mehdi, associate surveyor at Geo Lambert.

由于其尺寸较小,易用性和准确性,Leica Geosystems的激光扫描技术在摩洛哥的神秘时钟中,在遗产保护方面开辟了新的视野。
