Quantitative Evaluation of Architectural Style Using Image Correlation and Fractal Dimension Analysis in Agora of Ancient Greek City Athens

Abstract

Agoras were central to the lives of Western European people and can be called the starting point of Western European civilization. In previous study, image processing technology was used to perform the initial restoration of the architecture and city shape. And each building in the 3D model of the plaza was then constructed, centering on the formation of the agora. In this study, 3D model of the temple was focused on the temple building and stoa, extracted the facade of each building, quantitatively evaluated similarities by performing fractal dimension analysis and image analysis, and considered the relevance of the two analysis results.
