Proposal for the improvement and modification in the scale of evidence for virtual reconstruction of the cultural heritage: A first approach in the mosque-cathedral and the fluvial landscape of Cordoba

Abstract

This article intends to improve and modify the scale of evidence in the virtual reconstructions created by Tayfun Oner for the Byzantium 1200 project team. In the article the scale has been analysed, reducing its number of levels and modifying its chromatic gradation to improve its perception. For this purpose, the original scale and the modified scale have been compared in three different three-dimensional models, the minaret of ‘Abd al-Rahman III’, Cordoba, Spain. A sector of the mosque of ‘Abd al-Rahman I’, Cordoba, Spain, and the Roman Port of Colonia Patricia, Cordoba, Spain. The modified scale complies with the London Charter and the Seville Principles for the Virtual Reconstruction of Cultural Heritage and it is aimed at been established as a common scale within the scientific community.
