APPLICATION OF PHOTOGRAMMETRY TECHNIQUES IN RECONSTRUCTING THE CARVING ON STONE INSCRIPTIONS
PENGGUNAAN TEKNIK FOTOGRAMETRI DALAM REKONSTRUKSI PAHATAN PADA BATU PRASASTI

AbstractThis research discusses and applies photogrammetry techniques to determine the depth of the script carvings on some worn-out stone inscriptions so images of scripts can be more readable. Inscriptions are the backbone of ancient Indonesian historical writings. Unfortunately the significance of many such ancient inscriptions can not yet be used optimally since many inscriptions are found in a state of having poor legibility, and this due both to natural as well as human factors. To this day, photogrammetry techniques have not been widely used by Indonesian researchers in order to help analyze existing cultural heritage objects, especially stone inscriptions. In addition to previous photogrammetric techniques reviews, this article also brings forward my experiment on the photogrammetric techniques, especially those directly related to the stone inscriptions. The reconstruction was not intended to interpret the meaning of the scripts, but rather to give epigraphists a new insight into other ways of clarifying worn-out scripts.
AbstrakPenelitian ini membahas dan menguji teknik fotogrametri untuk mengetahui kedalaman pahatan pada batu prasasti sehingga rekonstruksi dapat dilakukan guna memperjelas bekas pahatan aksara yang ada. Diharapkan akan dapat memunculkan gambar pahatan dengan lebih jelas sehingga pada akhirnya pahatan tersebut dapat dibaca. Prasasti adalah tulang punggung penulisan sejarah kuna Indonesia. Arti penting prasasti ini belum dapat digunakan dengan maksimal karena banyak prasasti yang ditemukan dalam keadaan aus pahatannya, baik karena kerusakan yang disebabkan oleh faktor alam maupun manusia. Teknik Fotogrametri belum banyak digunakan oleh peneliti dari Indonesia untuk membantu menganalisis benda cagar budaya yang ada terutama prasasti. Selain mengulas beberapa teknik fotogrametri dikemukan pula percobaan teknik fotogrametri yang telah dilakukan khususnya yang berhubungan langsung dengan prasasti. Rekonstruksi yang dilakukan tidak dimaksudkan untuk membaca dan mengartikan hasil pembacaan aksara prasasti, akan tetapi lebih kepada memberi pandangan baru dan potensi penggunaan teknik fotogrametri bagi para ahli epigrafi tentang cara lain dalam memperjelas bekas pahatan yang telah aus.
