This study explores the potential of Terrestrial Laser Scanner (TLS) technology for surveying and generating accurate three-dimensional (3D) models of Underground Built Heritage (UBH), using a hypogea complex in the Sassi of Matera (Italy) as a case study. This urban ecosystem, built through excavation and regeneration, features a vast array of underground structures, with complex geometries and intricate details. The survey conducted using TLS technology and the reconstruction using Reality Capture (RC) software produced a highly detailed 3D model of hypogea that serve as a basis for semantic-enriched Building Information Modeling (BIM). The results demonstrate the potential of advanced techniques through a workflow that combines TLS and RC to achieve adequate UBH representations and fill the gap in knowledge and documentation, which hinder management, exploitation, and valorization.

Abstract
This study explores the potential of Terrestrial Laser Scanner (TLS) technology for surveying and generating accurate three-dimensional (3D) models of Underground Built Heritage (UBH), using a hypogea complex in the Sassi of Matera (Italy) as a case study. This urban ecosystem, built through excavation and regeneration, features a vast array of underground structures, with complex geometries and intricate details. The survey conducted using TLS technology and the reconstruction using Reality Capture (RC) software produced a highly detailed 3D model of hypogea that serve as a basis for semantic-enriched Building Information Modeling (BIM). The results demonstrate the potential of advanced techniques through a workflow that combines TLS and RC to achieve adequate UBH representations and fill the gap in knowledge and documentation, which hinder management, exploitation, and valorization.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
