and the slope tumulus road is 18m in length. The 9 tumulus rooms are divided into 2 primary rooms located in middle and 7 secondary rooms in northern and southern sides which are connected between each other by porches.

This tumulus has a very important meaning to archeology. In order to furthermore preserve the cultural information of the tumulus, satisfy the research need and show the fact of Daguan village tumulus, the 3D Measurement and Modeling of the tumulus is needed in time.

1.The photographic scheme Considering that every room is a three-dimensional surface, in order to cover with the whole surface, we had to adopt tripod to assure that the adjacent photos had an 80% overlap degree. The camera type and the photographic pattern were introduced as follows:

a. Focus: the focus was infinite (it was assigned as manual pattern );
b. Exposal pattern: the aperture was preferential with an aperture number 22;
c. The photographic pattern: considering the tumulus was high, some aerial strips were obtained in every tumulus room from down to up in order to assure cover with the whole surface;
d. The camera motion pattern: the camera was moved along the tumulus wall clockwise and the walls’ photos were taken at the same time.

2.The results:
