ABSTRACT

This chapter describes the tri-dimensional survey of "Ex Stazione Frigorifera Specializzata": the building, located in the area of Magazzini Generali of Verona, was built in 1930 for the storage of fruit and vegetables; in the time was allocated to different uses until the complete neglect. A renovation project and functional restoration of the structure, has required the three-dimensional (3-D) survey for architectural-engineering purposes. The method is used for the measurements of topographic networks, connecting inter-visible points with a triangulation approach: these points are chosen in stable area incorporating the object of 3-D survey and represent the reference for each other measurements. Data processing allowed to obtain the 3-D coordinates of the three points with a precision in the order of 8 mm. The high resolution and high detailed 3-D model was textured using images acquired by the camera integrated to the laser scanner and co-axial to the laser beam.
