| Background |
| Site Description | The Temple of Bel stood for 2000 years in Palmyra, Syria until its destruction by ISIS in late 2015. It featured many well preserved sculptures and paintings. | |
| Project Description | This dataset contains 1,581 images of the Temple of Bel compound prior to its destruction. The reconstruction uses over 900 publicly available tourist images taken between 2006 and 2011. Photos were provided by the #NewPalmyra project, which organized the donation of thousands of images as open source objects. Images were masked in Agisoft Metashape, removing skies, vegetation, and tourists. | |

| Model Information |
| Reuse Score | C - Non-Metric Model |
| Curator Notes | This model does not contain scaling information, and also contains a number of uncalibrated cameras, which have been found to cause some significant deformation on the northern interior (20cm). It should be referenced against other scaled sources.
