Artistic, architectural and Cultural Heritage (CH) structures are often exposed to a high risk of damage caused by seismic events, natural disasters more negligence poor state preservation conservation; the use series technologies, based on digital acquisition high-level data processing, allows realisation three-dimensional model detail. In order preserve particular historical value, it is necessary assess their structural stability. addition, many structures, such as statues, have rather...
The aim of the paper is to identify an efficient method for transforming point cloud into parametric objects in fields architecture, engineering and construction by four main steps: 3D survey structure under investigation, generation a new based on feature extraction identification suitable threshold values, geometry reconstruction semi-automatic process performed Rhinoceros/Grasshopper BIM implementation. developed made it possible quickly obtain geometries that were very realistic original...
The aim of this study is to evaluate the degradation accuracy and quality images in relation TIFF format different compression level JPEG compared raw acquired by UAV platform. Experiments were carried out using DJI Mavic 2 Pro Hasselblad L1D-20c camera on three test sites. Post-processing was performed software based structure from motion multi-view stereo approaches. results show a slight influence image levels flat or slightly surfaces; case complex 3D model, instead, choice became...
The aim of this article is to provide a dedicated approach the realisation CityGML model for valorisation and conservation existing cultural heritage. In particular, ancient city Taranto (Italy), several levels details (LODs) have been built. models in LOD1 most representative periods were realised, which characterised by urban changes from mid-1800s until today. To achieve aim, great importance was devoted process integration different file formats. A geographic information system (GIS) has...
The manuscript intends to describe different methodologies for the acquisition, data processing, and identification of strategies aimed at improving quality 3D point cloud production using latest-generation sensors in field cultural heritage surveying. clouds taken into consideration were acquired by passive active on Buziaș site, an important historical architectural structure Romania. In particular, a spherical camera (Ricoh Theta Z1) was used order obtain video; subsequently, starting...
The aim of the paper is to identify energy inefficiencies and propose energy-saving solutions reduce carbon footprint structures, considering Building Information Modelling—Existing Conditions Model as an enabling tool. initiative underscores role in facilitating data-driven strategies for improving efficiency, highlighting its potential transform infrastructure built environment into a paradigm responsible consumption. In this context, presents comprehensive assessment thermal performance...
The aim of the paper is to analyse performance Neural Radiance Field (NeRF) algorithm, implemented in Instant-NGP software, for photogrammetric purposes. To achieve this aim, several datasets with different characteristics were analysed, taking into account object size, image acquisition technique and geometric configuration images. NeRF algorithm proved be effective construction 3D models; other words, it was possible obtain realistic models a detailed manner very quickly, even rather weak...
The release of Android 7.0 has made raw GNSS positioning data available on smartphones and, as a result, this allowed many experiments to be developed evaluate the quality using mobile devices.
