Abstract. The survey of ancient cave can generally be performed by traditional topographic methods that allow also its georeferencing in a global reference frame; some difficulties may arise when there are narrow tunnels do not consent the use total station or terrestrial laser scanner. In such cases visual-based approach used to produce, both followed path and 3D model hypogeal environment. A prompt photogrammetric has been reconstruct morphology La Sassa Cave, situated municipality Sonnino...
Caves are one of the most conservative environments on Earth, where archaeological, anthropological, climatic and tectonic data can be well-preserved. Here, we present results a multidisciplinary method that allowed us to recognize, for first time in this area, interaction between Late Pleistocene Anthropocene neotectonic archaeological evolutionary stages cave Apennines (La Sassa cave), encompass also its surroundings (Volsci Range Pontina Plain). Both structural 3D survey highlighted...
Abstract. In marine biology the shape, morphology, texture and dimensions of shells organisms like sponges gorgonians are very important parameters. For example, a particular type gorgonian grows every year only few millimeters; this estimation was conducted without any measurement instrument but it has been provided after successive observational studies, because organism is fragile: contact could compromise its structure outliving. Non-contact system to be used preserve such organisms:...
Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) surveys performed in critical environments (e.g., urban canyons, mountainous areas, or areas of dense vegetation) usually suffer from a lack satellite coverage as result obstacles such buildings and vegetation. GNSS mission-planning software provides an estimate visibility dilution-of-precision (DOP) values along planned trajectory to establish the best time frame over which perform survey. However, is not reliable complex scenario because...
Abstract. Actually complex underground structures and facilities occupy a wide space in our cities, most of them are often unsurveyed; cable duct, drainage system not exception. Furthermore, several inspection operations performed critical air condition, that do allow or make more difficult conventional survey. In this scenario prompt methodology to survey georeferencing such is indispensable. A visual based approach was proposed paper; provides 3D model the environment path followed by...
GNSS (Global Navigation Satellite System) receivers are not only able to accurately determine position, but also velocity, knowledge of which could be important in several applications. The most adopted technique for velocity estimation exploits the Doppler shift due relative motion between signal source and receiver. Alternatively, TDCP (Time-Differenced Carrier Phase) technique, based on differences consecutive carrier-phase measurements, can used. is theoretically achieve better...
Abstract. role in the field of cultural heritage. Making copies virtual objects is very significant for their consultation, storage, disclosure and restoration. Nowadays modeling a free-form object can be attained both by laser-scanning digital photogrammetry. With use last methodology dense point clouds obtained through elaborate process steps. The purpose this study to provide input automation some phases these processes. Recent advances Structure from Motion community have greatly...
Punta Licosa promontory is located in the northern part of Cilento coast, southern Tyrrhenian basin. This bordered by sea cliffs connected to a wide shore platform sloping slightly towards sea. area has been considered stable at least since Late Pleistocene, as testified series evidence well known literature. The aim this research reconstruct main coastal changes that have occurred middle Holocene means literature data, aerial photo interpretation, satellite images, GPS measurements, direct...
The Internet of Things (IoT) is the recent way to join low-cost hardware and cloud computing, in order manage a network physical devices their data collection. During last years number connected IoT dramatically increased, as well as, webservices which allow collect data. Most these services are free for personal use, commercial purposes. In this work, technology was employed monitor health status maritime signals, such buoys, seamarks, beacons, etc. developed system allows react swiftly...

The study of human equilibrium, also known as postural stability, concerns different research sectors (medicine, kinesiology, biomechanics, robotics, sport) and is usually performed employing motion analysis techniques for recording movements posture. A wide range methodologies has been developed, but the choice instrumentations sensors depends on requirement specific application. Postural stability a topic great interest maritime community, since ship motions can make demanding difficult...
An autonomous vision-based landing system was designed and its performance is analysed measured by an UAS. The equipment based on a single camera to determine position attitude with respect well-defined pattern. developed procedure photogrammetric Space Resection Solution, which provides the reckoning starting from at least three, not aligned, reference control points whose image coordinates may be in frame. Five circular coloured targets were placed specific pattern, their 2D frame...
The Posidonia oceanica meadows represent a fundamental biological indicator for the assessment of marine ecosystem's state health. They also play an essential role in conservation coastal morphology. composition, extent, and structure are conditioned by characteristics plant itself environmental setting, considering type nature substrate, geomorphology seabed, hydrodynamics, depth, light availability, sedimentation speed, etc. In this work, we present methodology effective monitoring mapping...
Abstract. A photogrammetric survey of a unique archaeological site is reported in this paper. The was performed using both panoramic image-based solution and by classical procedure. carried out employing commercial solution: the Trimble V10 Imaging Rover (IR). Such instrument an integrated cameras system that captures 360 degrees digital panoramas, composed 12 images, with single push. direct comparison point clouds obtained traditional procedure stations, same GCP coordinates has been Cloud...
Abstract. Sometimes, the georeferencing of a cave in global reference system can be challenging. Some difficulties may arise when narrow passages do not allow use classical topographic equipment or terrestrial laser scanner. In these specific cases, surveyor employ visual-based approach to produce both followed path and 3D model hypogeum. The report we are presenting is result survey Guattari carried out using images taken by Huawei P9 mobile phone Nikon D800E camera with 16 mm fisheye lens....
Abstract. Caves have been used by humans and animals for several thousand years until present but, at these time scales, their structures can rapidly change due to erosion concretion processes. For this reason, the availability of precise 3D models improves data quality quantity allowing reconstruction ancient appearance, structure origin. However, caves are usually characterised lack light, high percentage relative humidity, narrow spaces complex morphology. Thus, quite often traditional...
The objective of this work is the evaluation performances EGNOS (European Geostationary Navigation Overlay System) augmentation system in maritime navigation by comparing them with those obtained other positioning methods as Single Point Positioning (SPP) and Differential Global System (DGPS). Preliminarily, an open-sky context were evaluated through static data downloaded RIMS (Ranging Integrity Monitoring Stations) located Rome. Then, for test carried out onboard a boat Gulf Naples, two...
