Digitally preserving Hukuru Miskiy

作者：河Vasszi

一组测量师，程序员和遗产专业人士的任务是展开并实际上记录了马尔代夫最重要的遗产遗址的秘密 - 马尔雷·赫库鲁·米斯基（MaléHukuruMiskiy）。

The Malé Hukuru Miskiy, meaning the Friday Mosque, is located on the capital island of Malé in the Maldives and currently is included in the UNESCO World Heritage tentative list. To meet UNESCO’s standards and become part of the final World Heritage list requires thedetailed documentation清真寺综合体以及额外的保护和翻新工作。

几个世纪以来，尚无任何信息或图纸来描述现场及其结构的复杂设计和建设，因此，马尔代夫遗产部水Solutions Pvt Ltd. to capture and document the heritage complex in 3D.

水溶液提供马尔代夫的测量，工程和环境咨询服务。该公司致力于介绍新技术和最先进的设备，以改善其测量服务。进行精确的数字调查，这将成为Hukuru Miskiy的3D文档和翻新, Water Solutions used laser scanning in combination with a total station and theworld’s fastest GNSS RTK rover.

“Hukuru Miskiy is a historically and architecturally significant place; the work carried out by Water Solutions to digitise the mosque is priceless,”马尔代夫艺术，文化和遗产部长Yumna Maumoon说。

Scanning the largest coral stone building in the world

Hukuru Miskiy was built in 1658 under the reign of Sultan Ibrahim Iskandar. This mosque complex, the largest and finest coral stone building in the world, is a testimony of the fusion of Indian Ocean seaborne cultures and proof of the unique artistry of the Maldivian people.

用于建造Hukuru Miskiy的材料和技术在马尔代夫古代建筑技术中表现出重要的阶段。为了保存这种文化遗产和荣誉，遗忘了马尔代夫的工艺，捕获和地理参与的水溶液Hukuru Miskiy仅仅几天，结合Leica Geosystems解决方案：

• Leica BLK360imaging laser scanner
• Leica Viva TS16robotic total station
• LeicaGS18 TGNSS RTK rover
• LeicaCyclone REGISTER 3603D激光扫描点云注册软件。

“Surveying is something I do with great passion. I love the technology and the sense of adventure that comes with working outdoors. Leica Geosystems has been innovating and changing the game with their latest surveying gear. Collecting data for this project in such detail has made this an exciting one,” said Mohamed Affan Shakir, offshore surveyor at Water Solutions Pvt Ltd.

遗产由17号清真寺组成^th- 世纪的公墓和尖塔。圣所综合大楼仍然用于进行日常祈祷，因此团队的时间有限，可以扫描建筑物。此外，许多小房间，墙壁上的详细雕刻和狭窄的阁楼掩盖了记录过程。

水溶液需要compact productthat would capturescans fast with high-resolution imagesand can alsofit in small places记录细节。考虑到这些挑战，团队选择了BLK360来捕获清真寺，其屋顶结构，墓地和尖塔。

To reference the scanning targets, theTS16机器人总站以非优势模式使用来直接测量目标的坐标。为了地点最后一个点云，GS18 TGNSS RTK rover was used to establish control points on site. Finally, the point clouds were transferred and post-processed inCyclone REGISTER 3603D激光扫描点云注册软件。

“We put our trust in Leica Geosystems surveying equipment to collect accurate data and never had any issues with the equipment. It is vital to have a gear that you can rely on when carrying out surveying in any outdoor environment” Water Solutions Pvt Ltd的激光扫描专家Hamdulla Shakeeb说。

Pushing the boundaries of heritage preservation

The creation of this digital dataset can help preserve this more than350-year-old heritage site详细的拟建地图可用于屋顶结构的康复，并用作将来修复的基线图。详细3D models allow heritage professionals to document, manage, renew or maintain Hukuru Miskiyand qualify the site for the final decision on its inscription on the World Heritage list.

“Using Leica Geosystems equipment has strengthened the confidence with our clients, helping to build long-lasting business relations,”沙基尔说。

除了遗产的物理保存外，激光扫描可以开发小型3D模型或虚拟现实应用程序to teach students about Maldivian history, craftsmanship, traditional architecture and ancient construction techniques.

The BLK360, in combination with the total station and GNSS RTK rover, enabled Water Solutions to introduce laser scanning in the Maldives for the first time and showcase the potential of laser scanning to survey and document heritage sites.
