Hundreds of two-dimensional images were transformed into a detailed three-dimensional model of the minaret using photogrammetric methods and software. The photographs were captured from various perspectives, making sure that all angles of the minaret were documented. The data were then uploaded onto specialized software that generated a detailed 3D model. The employment of three-dimensional scanning makes it possible to conserve cultural assets and accurately chronicle historical events with greater ease. Through the use of digital reconstruction, we are able to acquire a more in-depth comprehension of our shared history, as well as a deeper respect for it. In order to achieve this goal, it’s necessary for us to demonstrate that photogrammetry is not only dependable but also flexible for use in the field of cultural heritage.enCultural HeritageMudhafaria MinaretCholi MinaretPhotogrammetryDigital Reconstruction3D ModelText/Conference Paper10.18420/inf2024_781617-54682944-7682
