A Review: Monitoring Historical and Heritage Buildings Using Terrestrial Laser Scanning

Abstract

This study aims to investigate the effectiveness of using technology to
conserve historic and heritage buildings, specifically the Sultan Ibrahim
Jamek Mosque in Muar, Johor. The traditional method of conservation
has been widely used, but it has limitations in terms of accuracy and
efficiency. The study focuses on the use of Leica BLK360, a 3-
Dimensional (3D) laser scanning, as a technology method for
conservation. The scope of the study includes the comparison of the
accuracy and efficiency of the Leica BLK360 with the traditional
method, the identification of the benefits and challenges of using the
technology, and the evaluation of the impact of the technology on the
conservation process. The study will employ a mixed-methods
approach, including site surveys, interviews, and observations, to collect
data from experts in the field of conservation and stakeholders involved
in the conservation of the Sultan Ibrahim Jamek Mosque. The findings of
the study will contribute to the body of knowledge on the use of
technology in conservation and provide insights for future conservation
projects. The study is significant as it addresses the need for more
accurate and efficient methods of conservation, especially for historic
and heritage buildings that are of cultural and historical importance.
