The paper describes methods and techniques covering both surveying procedures and computer applications aiming to convert widespread tools as smartphones into reliable ranging devices in the field of Cultural Heritage (CH) museums small object. Two different issues are faced: a) how different features affect the documentation of micro-/ meso-scale objects displayed in exhibitions; b) development of a multipurpose solution for a lowcost and easy-to-use acquisition to digitize and visualize these objects. A procedure based on a surveying kit aimed at achieving reliable models and textures, as well as accurate color renderings is presented. Several objects have been selected to test the consistency and flexibility of the proposed methods and techniques and results are compared with those from standard acquisition techniques.

New photogrammetric survey techniques such as SfM photomodeling allow us to document the cultural heritage through textured three-dimensional models that can be showed via the Internet through the recent repositories of 3D models, allowing suitable interactive viewing from any computer or mobile device. Even reaching a totally immersive visualization mode, when using a virtual reality viewer such as the economic Google Cardboard. This implies a great advance for the enhancement and dissemination of heritage. In this article we will discuss the application of these new techniques and recent viewing platforms that have been used to create a virtual museum, accessible from the Internet, which shows the Romanesque capitals of the cloister of the Monastery of San Cugat, its symbolism and the possible theories connecting them with the music.

This article discusses the hypothetical reconstruction of the Plaza Mayor of Mexico in the sixteenth century. The objective was to make a graphical representation evidencing configuration and spatial arrangement of the buildings that existed around the square, in order to establish methods of analysis supported by print media that allow the study of architectural heritage and its evolution. This representation was made through three-dimensional models from the interpretation of chronic and plans of the period of study. It is important to note that the study buildings were destroyed or heavily modified by the flood of 1629, so the model obtained represents a stage that today does not exist. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The continuing progress over the last years on three-dimensional surveying equipments -software and hardware- has increased the range of possibilities for the recording, documentation and dissemination of heritage. However, and based on this following hypotheses, there are yet several obstacles in the creation of photorealistic and reliable 3D models among some geometric and radiometric fields. These problems arise when the pieces offer difficulties for scanning such as the lack of defined edges in the geometry of the object in question and/or the impossibility of recording due to the type of finish (color, uniformity, reflectance...). This study suggests and presents results of a photorealistic model applied to the survey of the work of the sculptor Jorge Oteiza, whose pieces are characterized by geometries and textures against an ideal scanning. The solution contemplated here involves a methodology based on a combination of techniques: models captured by optical triangulation scanner Artec supported by the photogrammetric software PhotoScan in the texturing phase.
