Due to these reasons, in recent years, there has been an increasing demand for modelling of historic buildings. With this aim, in this paper, a novel approach is proposed and the details of a study and field work carried out to model a historic bridge in Edirne, Turkey are given. Reflectorless total stations were preferred in the study since they allow performing accurate and efficient measurements with minimal fuss. In addition, they allow being controlled from a distance via remote control and this way the operator can control a set of total stations at the same time. The results of the field work reveal that total stations eliminate risk of damage during surveying and sub centimetre accuracy can be achieved.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessHistoric BuildingsEvaluationSurveyingMeasurementTotal StationUSE OF TOTAL STATIONS TO MODEL HISTORIC BUILDINGS AND STRUCTURESConference Object1116N/AWOS:000395499500002
