A2-15: Terrestrial laser scanning (TLS)  Tools and software used : For the terrestrial laser scanning, the procedure involved using a FARO FOCUS scanner operating at 976,000 points/s, with an error of ±2 mm at 25 m and a field of view of 360° horizontally and 320° vertically, to capture geometric data of the Ottoman fort’s façade across 40 scan positions. The resulting point cloud was processed using FARO Scene software to create a digital twin.  Objective : The terrestrial laser scanning was employed to enable precise stonework mapping and create a digital twin of the Ottoman fort’s façade.
