Church of Panagia Acheiropiitos - Tombstone
Date - Timespan:

The tombstone is located in the yard of the church.

 The part of the monument was selected to be 3D digitised within the framework of the European Commission funded 3D-ICONS project by the Athena RC Xanthi's Division. It was captured in 3D using the Structure-From-Motion (SFM) and Dense Multi-View 3D Reconstruction (DMVR) methods. Terrestrial photoshooting sessions were performed during the winter of 2014 during a cloudy day. The terrestrial photoshooting session was implemented using camera tripods. A Samsung NX1000 20MP compact DSLR camera with a 20-50mm lens was used. Agisoft PhotoScan (ver. 1.1) has been used for the production of tombstone 3D digital replica. The processing of the image sequences was performed on two computer systems (CPU IntelCoreI74820K 3.7Ghz, 64GB RAM, Radeon R9 290X,Microsoft Windows 7 64-bit). Additionally, empirical measurements between strong (in terms of visibility) feature points on the surface of the tombstone were performed and used to scale the 3D model.
