St. Theodore 3D Point Cloud and Orthophotos for Curved Surfaces

The dataset includes 3D point cloud, unrolled meshes and orthophotos for curved surfaces of St. Theodore Church, Cappadocia. St. Theodore Church is located in Yeşilöz Village in Ürgüp district of Nevşehir. Formerly known as Tagar, now known as Yesiloz Village is approximately 16 km from the center of Urgup district and is a settlement area built on the slope of the valley. The church was carved into a large rock mass on the hill northwest of the village. As a result of excavations near the village, a monastery with a courtyard on three sides was discovered. It is thought that the church belonged to this monastery. The church is called both St. Theodore and Tagar Church. Although it is not known where the name Theodore comes from, it is estimated that this name may have been given because the church was built in the name of St. Theodore. The creation of this dataset was funded by the Scientific and Technological Research Council of Türkiye (TUBITAK) 1001 program under Project no. 122Y017.
