Bhubaneswar: National Institute of Science Education and Research (Niser), Bhubaneswar succeeded with an Indian archaeological survey (ASI) will conduct a survey of drones about the Temple of Lingaraj and the Temple Structure of the Temple.
The Ministry of Civil Aviation (Moca) and the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) on Friday gave permission from Niser Bhubaneswar to use drones for air surveys and photogrammetry from two monuments that were centrally protected.
This permission is the parole of the rules of an unmanned aircraft system (UAS), 2021.
“This exception is valid for a period of one year from the date of approval or up to further orders, which is earlier and will submit to the requirements and.
SOP Conditions issued by DGCA, “said official communication.
Bedangadas Mohanty, Physicists and Dean of Faculty Affairs, Niser Bhubaneswar, said they would make a 3D image of the monument through this project.
This will play an important role in the conservation and maintenance of inheritance sites, he added.
Mohanty said 3D images will help ASI and other government institutions to identify each defective or damaged part of the temple for conservation.
“If there are non-dioward situations that occur and the temple is damaged in the future, 3D images will be referred to repair or rebuild the temple structure,” he added.
Subhank Mishra from the School of Computer Sciences, Niser Bhubaneswar, and is responsible for the project said they worked to preserve the structure of the monument digitally.
“We want to collect 3D information through LIDAR scanning (laser-based scanning) and by using drones to take pictures and videos from above,” he added.
“We cannot see the complete architectural style of the monument by standing on the temple floor.
It is possible to see most parts through the 3D model.
The Dassault System Foundation, India is a project funding agent,” Mishra said.
Recently, the permit of the use of drones has been given to the Directorate of Urban Local Agency (DULB), Haryana for data acquisition, mapping, and implementation of the web-based GIS platform for the development of the city of Amrut and a property tax survey for Hisar, Panchkula, Ambala urban areas, said Moca source.
