Structural vulnerability assessment of heritage structures is a pivotal part risk mitigation strategy for preserving these valuable assets the nations. For this purpose, developing digital twins has gained much attention lately to provide an accurate model performing finite element (FE) analyses. Three-dimensional (3D) geometric documentation first step in twin, and various equipment methodologies have been developed facilitate procedure. Both aerial terrestrial close-range photogrammetry...

Abstract. In this paper, main challenges of underwater photogrammetry in shallow waters are described and analysed. The very short camera to object distance such cases, as well buoyancy issues, wave effects turbidity the be resolved. Additionally, major challenge all, caustics, is addressed by a new approach for caustics removal (Forbes et al., 2018) which applied order investigate its performance terms SfM-MVS 3D reconstruction results. proposed complex problem removing classifying then...

The interest in the development of virtual museums is nowadays rising rapidly. During last decades there have been numerous efforts concerning 3D digitization cultural heritage and museums, digital libraries serious games. realistic result has always main concern a real challenge when it comes to modelling monuments, artifacts especially sculptures. This paper implements, investigates evaluates results photogrammetric methods surveys that were used for museum. Moreover, decisions, actions,...

Abstract. Cultural Heritage (CH) is a domain which has been greatly affected by climate change in the past decades. At same time Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) have exploited to contribute holistic documentation, support conservation preservation actions. In order move further on from interdisciplinary approach fusion of data various sensors next goal. This paper focuses exploitation integration close-range 3D Hyperspectral four buildings Rhodes assess material degradation....

Serious Games applications are implemented in many scientific fields including cultural heritage. Virtual museums mainly utilise game technologies for the provision of a means digital representation heritage sites. Many such and projects were developed recent years. In this paper, development an application virtual museum Stoa Attalos Athens is presented. The allows user to split visit two sections. first one concerns exhibits second focuses on specialized part museum, shop which conveys...

In the cultural heritage field, many Serious Games applications have been developed whose goal is to educate players and users not particularly specialized or familiar with this field. On other hand, 3D models of objects created precise modelling methods can be a very useful asset for these applications. paper composite Game Stoa Attalos, prominent monument in Ancient Athens Agora, presented. are used, which were produced mainly automated image based techniques. The creation described...

In the field of Cultural Heritage there are many Serious Games applications. 3D models cultural heritage objects created with modelling methods preserving realism and detail can be a very useful tool for if exploited correctly suitably. this paper composite SG application is developed presented using such realistic produced by Geomatics techniques. The construction these along application, which consists three different options user: A virtual navigation to site some questions, visit museum...

Abstract. Archaeology as a science is based on finding and displaying the remains of past. In recent years, with progress technology, archeology has been expanding evolving. Three-dimensional digitization become an integral part archiving, documentation restoration effort cultural heritage, offering important benefits in studies for reconstruction tasks architectural creations, archaeological sites, historic monuments objects art general. The three-dimensional models are now available many...

Abstract. The detailed and thorough documentation of monuments is a rather complex process that requires the application best available state art techniques in order to preserve, restore, promote make cultural heritage accessible public. This paper presents 3D Geometric Documentation part medieval fortress Chios, focussing particular on practical challenges which object presented. case study fortified construction, consisting bastion, watch tower top this bastion significant its walls with...

<p class="VARAbstract">Archaeological restoration of monuments is a practice requiring extreme caution and thorough study. Archaeologists conservation experts are very reluctant to proceed indeed reconstruction actions without detailed consultation thought. Nowadays, anastylosis executed on the real object practically prohibited. Contemporary technologies have provided archaeologists other with tools embark virtual restorations or anastyloses, thus testing various alternatives physical...

Abstract. This paper focuses on the holistic 3D geometric documentation of four Cultural Heritage buildings, different historic eras, island Rhodes. The main scope was to produce models and all required products according needs specifications set by EU funded HYPERION project. ideal combination multi-source data acquisition processing employed, which is modern perception for methodology monuments. workflow geodetic, photogrammetric laser scanning methods described in detail. Very decisive...

Climate change is likely to have a direct impact on tangible cultural heritage. Cultural heritage sites are already experiencing the of variations in temperature, precipitation, atmospheric moisture, and wind strength, along with rising sea levels shifts frequency extreme events. Leveraging remote sensing tools presents an opportunity for effective surveillance detection potential threats Heritage sites, monitoring material deterioration monuments. Since monuments not isolated geographical...

We introduce a deep learning framework leveraging YOLOv8 architecture to automate the localization of Removable Urban Pavements (RUPs) using UAV imagery. The core idea behind RUPs is provide pavements that can be quickly opened and closed lightweight on-site equipment. This approach aims efficiently restore street's original appearance functionalities within short timeframe, typically just few hours. Our study explores feasibility autonomously localizing RUP elements, paving way for...

Abstract. Floods are among the most prevalent and devastating natural disasters, affecting over 2 billion people worldwide. The increasing frequency intensity of extreme precipitation events, driven by climate change, increase vulnerability communities to flooding. This underscores urgent need for more accurate reliable flood prediction risk assessment models enhance preparedness mitigation efforts. In this research, we investigate critical role Digital Elevation Model (DEM) resolution in...

Modern technological advances have enabled digital automated methods to be applied for accurate and detailed documentation. Such techniques include image based modelling terrestrial laser scanning. They can easily adapted perfectly suit the documentation needs small large objects. In this paper geometric of two medieval fortifications using such contemporary is briefly described. These are western part Castle Chios an important Rhodes fortifications. The purpose both cases was restoration...

Abstract. The interest in the documentation and enhancement of Underwater Cultural Heritage (UCH) is rising rapidly over last decades. This has happened especially due to significant technological advances, which have enabled digital data acquisition hostile underwater environment. Numerous efforts been made so far concerning 3D digitisation promotion UCH using photogrammetric methods surveys order on one hand document site other develop virtual augmented reality applications make this part...

Abstract. During the past 15 years photogrammetric practice has experienced an unprecedented change by influence of computer vision algorithms, which support almost completely automated processing. It is widely acknowledged that this fact “democratized” Photogrammetry a lot, in sense it become everyone’s tool. However, radical been met scepticism traditional photogrammetrists, who claim such tools may lead to geometrically wrong and inaccurate results if not accompanied thorough projection...
