The case studies constitute the application examples of the protocols. They are written with the aim of giving to the user concrete cases illustrating the various problematics and acquisition strategies described in these protocols. They are structured in the same way as these latters, from the field data acquisition to the generation of a specific graphic documentation (orthophotographies, depth maps, point clouds, 3D models, etc.)

The choice was made to multiply the number of cases, even within the same kind of artifact (outside buildings, indoor survey, etc.), in order to describe and comment as exhaustively as possible the various situations the user can meet with during the photographic acquisition.

Chapelle impériale, Ajaccio (France)
