USING DIGITAL TECHNOLOGIES TO PRESERVE, PROMOTE, AND RESTORE WORKS OF ART, MUSEUM EXHIBITS, AND IMMOVABLE CULTURAL HERITAGE SITES

Abstract

The article highlights the main ways of using digital technologies to record and preserve cultural heritage objects.There are analyzed requirements for photographing works of art and studio conditions. There are identified examples of technologies for digitizing immovable cultural heritage objects are given, and the advantages and disadvantages of each of them. Authors disclose the specifics of creating a model of a museum exhibit based on photogrammetry. The algorithm of work is presented and the main difficulties in working with a three-dimensional model of an object are described in this article. The article shows sequence of execution of the digital version of objects. The examples of three- dimensional models of The Vasyl Krychevsky Poltava Local Lore Museum`s exhibits are shown in this work. This article reveals the problematic aspects of geometry construction. The authors propose the methods of their solution.The goal of the work is a comprehensive description of the available methods, taking into account their advantages and problematic aspects for solving various tasks. The main attention focuses to the issue of compliance with the main task of digitizing the object and the selection of technology and algorithm for its application.The main methodology of this study is a comprehensive approach based on the analysis of global and Ukrainian examples of digitization of monuments. The authors analyze the most common methods of digitizing cultural heritage objects and identify areas where each of them is most appropriate. The scientific novelty of this study is the disclosure of technological features of photographing works of art, and the introduction of methods for modeling museum exhibits based on photogrammetry. For the first time, introduce into scientific circulation the modern experience in reproducing in the form of three-dimensional models of exhibits of The Vasyl Krychevsky Poltava Local Lore Museum. The conclusions summarize the main approaches to using digital technologies in the specified topic and reveal the prospects for further research in this area.
