In close range photogrammetry, the required geometric data for object documentation can be obtained
from single photo or stereoscopic pairs of photos. But, the documentation of large historic monuments, the
stereo pair is not sufficient. So, we mus
t use many photos to cover the whole object. In this study, a new
approach for 3D modeling of historic monuments is presented. This one is the multi-images approach. It
takes the complicated geometric nature of object to be documented. This kind of modeling is one of most
important applications of close range photogrammetry. In this study the results the multi-images
approach is exposed by a practical example concerned a historic façade in Housn Souleman (Safita). We
used digital photos obtained by the digital camera Kodak 8MP. This camera has a good geometric
resolution suitable for precise documentation works. To achieve the modeling, some well known software
for documentation purposes were used.
