Abstract

Currently, the popularization of geological science, the development of geotourism and the use of modern information technologies is an urgent and popular problem. At the same time, the East Kazakhstan region has a great potential for the development of geotourism. The application of information technologies can attract domestic and foreign tourists to the region and provide stakeholders with detailed information about the geological object with the follow-up using its virtual model.

This article considers the possibility of adaptation and application of photogrammetry technology for three-dimensional (3D) modeling of geological objects of East Kazakhstan, which are of interest for geotourism. We examine algorithms for photographing objects to obtain photos suitable for further processing in order to obtain a virtual model of the object. Features and problems of building of three-dimensional virtual models of geological objects are revealed, possibilities of the software product Agisoft Photoscan which allows to receive a point cloud, virtual three-dimensional models of objects in a semi-automatic mode based on their two-dimensional photos, including those received with the unmanned aerial vehicles (drones) are investigated.
