Methodology investigation for the establishment of a micrometric control network,
the monitoring and three-dimensional representation of the deformations of the
Church of Megali Panayia in Samarina of the Grevena Prefecture
The Ministry of Culture has commissioned the Laboratory of Photogrammetry to implement
contemporary methodologies in order to monitor the deformations of the Church of Megali Panayia
in Samarina village. The 40m long and 20 m wide church, built in 1816 on clay soil, suffers from
severe damages and large cracks, probably due to the soil instability. In order to assess the situation
and accept the proposed interventions, the Central Archaeological Council has asked for the
monitoring over a long period of time.
A GPS basic network and a highly accurate surveying network were established and repeated measurements were performed over a period of 6 months. The results were presented on a three dimensional model of the church, which was constructed using terrestrial laser scanning and photogrammetric methodologies.
