Dungeons of the National Museum in Pančevo

Nenad Jončić, ArheoData

Zgradba Magistratain zapora predstavlja pomemben del kulturne dediščine mesta Pančevo. Stene ce-
lice propadajo zaradi vlage. Zaradi vlage in odpadanja ometa izgubljamo vrezana sporočila zapornikov.
Za dokumentiranje trenutne situacije so bili uporabljeni 3D skenerji. Poleg visoke natančnosti laserske-
ga skeniranja skener omogoča tudi ustvarjanje visokokakovostnih tekstur na 3D modelih. Na ta način
smo zagotovili varno predstavitev zaporniških celic obiskovalcem muzeja.
Ključne besede: laserski skener, 3D skeniranje, kulturna dediščina, predstavitev, zaščita

The Magistrate building and the dungeons in it represent a significant part of the cultural heritage of

the city of Pančevo. Dungeons walls are deteriorating due to moisture and engraved messages of the

prisoners are disappearing. 3D scanners were applied to the record current situation. In addition to the

high precision of laser scanning, this scanner also enables the creation of high-quality textures on 3D

models. In this way, we provided a safe presentation of dungeons for the visitors of the museum.
