Kioutouklou Baba Bekctashic Tekke - Entrance (3D)
![]() |
|
This is a 3D model at various resolutions (ultra low, low, medium, high, RAW) of the main entrance of the monument which faces to the east.The current conservation status of the monument is very good. This is a result of the recent maintenance and restoration.
The monument is located in the middle of a cultivable area on the west coast of the Vistonida Lake, near Selino village in Xanthi, Greece. It is considered as one of the most important Ottoman monuments in the area and it may have been built in the 15th century. It was possibly built on the ruins of an Orthodox Christian temple that was dedicated to Saint George Kalamitziotis. According to scholars, the term tekke (gathering place for Dervishes) is erroneous as the only remaining monument from a possible older building complex (tekke) is a tomb (türbe). Several conjectures have been made about the person buried in the monument. Today, for the Muslims it is considered as the grave of a Whirling Dervish named Kioutouklou Baba, while for the Christians it is a worshiping place of Saint George. It is composed by an octagonal türbe (mausoleum) and a domed antechamber. The türbe has a domed roof, too, and two windows (at the east and south wall) and it is made of hewn stones.

Description | The 3D data collection phase (fieldwork) of the monument included terrestrial and aerial photo shooting of the monument. For the terrestrial photo shooting session a DSLR Nikon D40 at 6.1 MP with an 18-55 mm lens along with a tripod has been used. On the other hand, for the aerial photo shooting session, a remote controlled helicopter has been used. The UAV was equipped with a three axis pan-tilt-roll remote controlled camera head (360o on the horizontal axis, 220o on the vertical axis and a rolling ability of 600). A DSLR Canon EOS350d at 8.1MP with an 18-55mm lens has been used for the aerial photo shooting session. The total number of photographs that has been used for the generation of the 3D model of the monument was 652 (469 terrestrial photos and 183 aerial photos). The average distance of the camera from the monument’s surface was estimated at 4 meters.The primary 3D model was created using a commercial structure-from-motion/dense multi-stereo 3D reconstruction software Agisoft PhotoScan). The software offers a number of predefined 3D reconstruction levels of detail (LOD). The level of detail affects the density of the reconstructed 3D mesh. In an base case scenario the user provides the software with an image collection, the system almost automatically calibrates the cameras based on the EXIF information found in the images, aligns them into the 3D space and produces a complete and single 3D mesh using a dense multi-view reconstruction algorithm. The total time required for the software to align the images into 3D space was 26 hours. The resolution of the raw data model is around 13mm (between consecutive points distance in raw data model) |
