Drone technology is playing an increasingly important role in the preservation of historical heritage. In Oeiras, HPDRONES participated in a project to create a 3D survey of the Marqu\u00eas de Pombal Palace, using the DJI Matrice 400 and the DJI Zenmuse P1 to digitally document one of Portugal\u2019s most iconic monuments.<\/span><\/p>\n

Preserving the Past Through Technological Innovation<\/b><\/h2>\n

The Marqu\u00eas de Pombal Palace is one of the most representative examples of 18th-century Portuguese Baroque architecture, with Rococo influences. Its historical, cultural, and architectural significance makes the preservation of this heritage a priority.<\/span><\/p>\n

In this context, Municipia developed a project aimed at beginning the creation of a digital twin of Oeiras\u2019 cultural heritage, starting with a 3D survey of the palace.<\/span><\/p>\n

HPDRONES participated in this initiative, demonstrating the potential of DJI technology for collecting detailed geospatial information and creating high-precision digital models.<\/span><\/p>\n

A Demanding Survey of a Historic Monument<\/b><\/h2>\n

Scanning a building with these characteristics presents specific technical challenges. The complexity of the facades, the ornamental elements, and flight restrictions required rigorous planning to ensure complete and safe data collection.<\/span><\/p>\n

The operation involved a preliminary analysis of the site, verification of airspace restrictions, and the development of an oblique capture strategy, enabling the documentation of hard-to-reach surfaces and architectural details.<\/span><\/p>\n

Geometric accuracy and texture quality were priorities throughout the entire process, ensuring the fidelity of the three-dimensional representation.<\/span><\/p>\n

DJI Matrice 400 and DJI Zenmuse P1: Precision in Data Collection<\/b><\/h2>\n

To conduct the survey, the DJI Matrice 400<\/a> equipped with the DJI Zenmuse P<\/a>1 camera was used – a combination designed for professional aerial photogrammetry operations.<\/span><\/p>\n

Missions were planned using DJI Pilot 2, with flight parameters and capture angles defined to obtain detailed coverage of the monument.<\/span><\/p>\n

The key metrics of the operation demonstrate the scale of the work performed:<\/span><\/p>\n
