Item A Mono-instrumental Approach to High-quality 3D Reality-based Semantic Models. Application on the Palladio Library(IEEE, 2015) Gaiani, Marco; Apollonio, Fabrizio I.; Clini, Paolo; Quattrini, Ramona; Gabriele Guidi and Roberto Scopigno and Juan BarcelóThe paper presents a new workflow to build geo-3D models able to populate a wide information system organizing and managing Palladio's works documentation. Main goal is to smooth the integration of data from different sources and promote a more profound understanding of Palladio's works. Starting from an integrated survey approach (laser scanner and Multi-Image Spherical Photogrammetry), reality-based 3D models are robustly constructed and semantically segmented from point cloud features based on Palladio treatise architectural semantics. The 3D models outputs are exported into a 3D Geographic Information System (GIS) to facilitate the visualization of Palladio's works with reference to topography. At the end, an evaluation mechanism is employed to control the quality of 3D models. The workflow could be easily generalized to other architects documentation systems both because Palladian case is a superset of most of other architect documentation dataset, allowing to focus and to solve all existing problems and because techniques and methods are general and appropriate for most part of historical architectures.Item The Lost of Myth in the Digital Age - A Study Based on Investigation of China's Guangxi Province(IEEE, 2015) He, Huaxiang; Gabriele Guidi and Roberto Scopigno and Juan BarcelóIn the digital era myths may encounter three kinds of fate: first, die in silence, and second, be permanently stored in digital form or access to mass communication channels, and third, be transformed into a real resource by virtue of power. Many studies have pointed out that the development of the Internet and digital technology brings new dawn to the protection and inheritance of the cultural heritage. However, judging from the current survey of China's Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, it is too early to expect a bright future of those orally transmitted cultural heritage such like myths if we just count on new media technology.Item Ceramics and 3D Technology: A Medieval Assemblage from Nemea, Greece(IEEE, 2015) Athanassopoulos, Effie; Shelton, Kim; Gabriele Guidi and Roberto Scopigno and Juan BarcelóThis work in progress reports on the application of 3D laser scanning to the study of medieval pottery from the excavations of the Sanctuary of Zeus at Nemea, Greece. As 3D modeling methods continue to improve, they offer an attractive alternative for artifact documentation, analysis and sharing of data. Here we present some examples and suggest that the advantages of 3D technology over the traditional methods of documentation are significant.Item Moravian School in Digital Catalogue of 'Cultural Monuments in Serbia'(IEEE, 2015) Vujošević, Sandra; Šegan, Marija; Jovanović, Jelena; Gabriele Guidi and Roberto Scopigno and Juan BarcelóThe paper presents an ongoing project of Mathematical Institute of the Serbian Academy of Sciences and Arts called 'Moravian school', which is dedicated to the one of the architectural styles in Medieval Serbia. The goal of the project is not only to promote this authentic Serbian style, which is not as known to the broader international research community as some others architectural styles, but also to make it accessible in a digital environment. The authors of the paper offer a model for studying the basic elements of the style through the online presentation of five religious buildings that are less known representatives of the Moravian style. The model, which is based on the field research that took place in 2013 and on the ongoing research in a digital environment, emphasizes the significance of permanent use and re-use of digital data as a part of the preservation of less known cultural heritage.Item Procedural Modeling for Ancient Maya Cityscapes - Initial Methodological Challenges and Solutions(IEEE, 2015) Richards-Rissetto, Heather; Plessing, Rachel; Gabriele Guidi and Roberto Scopigno and Juan BarcelóDigital reconstruction of 3D cityscapes is expensive, time-consuming, and requires significant expertise. We need a 3D modeling approach that streamlines the integration of multiple data types in a time-efficient and low-cost manner. Procedural modeling-rapid proto-typing of 3D models from a set of rules- offers a potential solution to this problem because it allows scholars to create digital reconstructions that can be quickly updated and used to test and formulate alternative hypotheses that are derived from and linked to underlying archaeological data. While procedural modeling is being used to visualize ancient Roman, Etruscan, and Greek cities, in the Maya region the approach has only been applied to reconstructions of individual buildings and not an entire city. In this paper, we present initial methodological challenges and solutions to procedural modeling of ancient Maya cityscapes using the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Copan, Honduras as a case study.Item Integrating Traditional Methods with New Technologies(IEEE, 2015) Manzetti, Maria Cristina; Parthenios, Panagiotis; Sarris, Apostolos; Gabriele Guidi and Roberto Scopigno and Juan BarcelóVarious archeological evidence suggest the significance of the ancient city of Gortyn, capital of the Roman province of Crete since 67 AD till the end of the supremacy of the Roman Empire, around the VII century. Still a number of monumental buildings, of which archaeological remains are less majestic, have to be well studied and understood. Among others, it is the large Roman theatre built on the South-East slope of the acropolis. The area is currently inspected through archaeological excavations, under the Ephorate of Prehistoric and Classical Antiquities of the Municipality of Herakleion. The visible remains of the theatre are still quite few but information about it is available thanks to many different sources: plans, descriptions and geophysical surveys. A careful analysis of these documents allow us to make various hypotheses about the original structure of the theatre that will be shown through the 3D reconstruction of the monument. With the help of the visualization tool it will be possible to identify which hypothesis represents better the original aspect of the theatre . The aim of this paper is to manifest the way that meaningful results can be drawn through the combination of traditional instruments with new technologies and methods, and to underline the power of visualization for the comprehension of archaeological context.Item Knowledge-based Approach for the 3D Modeling of Masonry Structures(IEEE, 2015) Jacquot, Kevin; Messaoudi, Tommy; Luca, Livio De; Gabriele Guidi and Roberto Scopigno and Juan BarcelóIn architectural heritage field, the control over metric data is fundamental. Indeed the interpretability of geometrical concepts, the criteria and methods to structure information are the first step for the analysis and simulation for the conservation of ancient buildings. The main barrier is to move from survey raw data to 3D models that are understandable. To overcome this issue a knowledge-based approach is developed to carry out a reverse engineering for digitised masonry structures.Item A Survey of Column-leaning in Korean Traditional Wooden Architecture Structures Using 3D Scandata - With a Focus on the Columns of the Sungryeoljeon in Namhansanseong(IEEE, 2015) An, Dai Whan; Yang, Hyun Woo; Gabriele Guidi and Roberto Scopigno and Juan BarcelóColum-leaning in Korean traditional wooden heritage structures has been emphasized in various reports since the first survey report from the 1950s. Recent technological advancements have granted researchers to use 3D scandata to examine column-leaning. This paper discusses the methods of measuring and representing column-leaning in the Soongryeoljeon in Namhansanseong - a UNESCO designated World Heritage site - using 3D scandata.Item Documentation and 3D Modeling of Railway Industrial Heritage - Study of the Cajo-Santander Locomotive Shed(IEEE, 2015) Cobos, Oscar Jesús Cosido; Soto, José Luís Lalana; Terán, Leticia; Campi, Massimiliano; Catuogno, Raffaele; Ramírez, Lucia Hernández; Llamas, José Pereda; Vidal, Esteban Sainz; Gabriele Guidi and Roberto Scopigno and Juan BarcelóThe works of three-dimensional documentation of the industrial heritage of Santander, which are carried out under the initiative of the authors of the article had the cooperation of the University of Cantabria, University of Naples ''Federico II'', University of Valladolid and the 3DIntelligence company. Within this project, it has been made the documentation of locomotive shed and the roundabout structure, key piece of industrial railway heritage in Santander. For this project we used the fusion of data (point clouds) from the Scanner-Laser and data from convergent photogrammetry. This initiative has enjoyed the cooperation of the RENFE company, who allowed access to their infrastructure. Both structures are currently in use, making complex the data collection phase.Item INSIDDE Project - Unveiling the Secrets of Art Through Graphene-based Terahertz Technologies(IEEE, 2015) Consortium, Insidde; Meana, Javier Gutiérrez; Gabriele Guidi and Roberto Scopigno and Juan BarcelóIn this paper we describe how terahertz technology can be applied in different areas of cultural heritage to analyze paintings and ceramics, producing digital surrogates that, together with the developed applications and functionalities, will bring closer art to citizens.Item Time-based Database for Creation of Korean Traditional Wooden Building(IEEE, 2015) Lee, Jongwook; Lee, Jihyung; Kim, Jae Woo; Kang, Kyung-Kyu; Lee, Man Hee; Goo, Boncheol; Gabriele Guidi and Roberto Scopigno and Juan Barcelóthis paper is designed to define and categorize the architectural components of the Korean traditional buildings on the basis of their time periods. By incorporating the time-based criteria and component relations into the existing data-base, this study is expected to improve time and accuracy in reconstructing and remodeling the Korean traditional wooden buildings.Item Virtuuvius - Automated Drawing of Temple Architecture According to Vitruvius - the Case of the Temple of Hercules in Celje, Slovenia(IEEE, 2015) Jerala, Maja; Gabriele Guidi and Roberto Scopigno and Juan BarcelóThe study of Roman temple architecture usually involves a multitude of ruins which need to be properly examined and, if possible, reconstructed. The reliability of a reconstruction - how closely it mimics the original situation - is determined by how well a temple is preserved. Fortunately, there is a transcription of a work on architecture written by one of the most notable Roman architects, Vitruvius (late 1st century BCE). Vitruvius' rules define the basic module and all the proportions to the tiniest detail, but also in a broader architectural sense. For proper analysis, interpretation and reconstruction of the temple of Hercules at Celje, Slovenia, it was therefore crucial to take precise measurements and to conduct an analysis of the preserved elements, applied to the Vitruvian canon. Vitruvius' rules and principles concerning individual properties have been transformed into formulas (Microsoft Office Excel 2013), which automatically adjust to each other, according to the basic module. On the basis of these findings, it has been possible to create a reconstruction of the basic elements using the AutoCAD Architecture 2014 software. To link the two methods, i.e. determining the dimensions and 3D drawing of stone blocks, an interface (AutoCAD VBA Macro) is being prepared: Virtuuvius - Virtual Vitruvius.Item Building Information Modelling for Historical Building Historic Jeddah - Saudi Arabia(IEEE, 2015) Baik, Ahmad; Boehm, Jan; Gabriele Guidi and Roberto Scopigno and Juan BarcelóThe topic of how the municipality of Jeddah can document, produce and preserve complete engineering information and drawings for historical buildings is one of the most important issues facing the Historic Jeddah district in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. The concept of using a remote collection of survey data with Architectural Photogrammetry and Terrestrial Laser Scanning has been accepted in several heritage locations worldwide. Additionally, the combination of the resulting information and Building Information Modelling has been developed as a technique to manage and document these historical buildings. In the last 20 years, several traditional approaches have been used to document, record, and survey heritage buildings in Historic Jeddah; however, these techniques have sometimes delivered unreliable information, taken a long time and inevitably omitted key details. This paper will focus on using Jeddah Historical Building Information Modelling; to produce complete engineering information and drawings.Item Create Your Menu - Discovering Traditional Recipes(IEEE, 2015) Gagliardi, Isabella; Artese, Maria Teresa; Gabriele Guidi and Roberto Scopigno and Juan BarcelóExpo2015 has focused attention on the culinary memories, healthy food and traditional methods, handed down over the years, to cultivate and use what nature has to offer, in a sustainable way. In this paper we present the application Create your menu (the work is still in progress) able to query the ECHI-ICH database, an inventory of Intangible Cultural Heritage, to find recipes/foods and compose the results in an healthy menu. The application is able to retrieve, within the cards of the ECHI-ICH inventory, those that are related to foods, then identify the main ingredients and extract the nutrients, using open data about food, to compose traditional and healthy meals.Item GIS Applications for Environmental Archaeology and Historical Ecology - Problems and Potentialities. The Case Study of Punta Mesco (Cinque Terre National Park - Italy)(IEEE, 2015) Gabellieri, Nicola; Panetta, Alessandro; Pescini, Valentina; Gabriele Guidi and Roberto Scopigno and Juan BarcelóResearch in environmental archaeology and historical ecology provides valuable information about past vegetation and its activation related to past societies activities. Different tools are use in order to better describe the historical plant coverage and ecosystems, environmental resources and the agro-silvo-pastoral systems. Combining field data and historical information in a GIS application gives multiple perspectives on the dynamics of changing landscape. This paper deals with the issue of GIS as a tool for historical ecology research, outlining the used methodologies and problems related to them. Our study focuses on Punta Mesco, in the Cinque Terre National Park (Italy), as case study.Item Exploration of the Changing Structure of Cities: Challenges for Temporal City Models(IEEE, 2015) Périnaud, Clémentine; Gesquière, Gilles; Gay, Georges; Gabriele Guidi and Roberto Scopigno and Juan BarcelóThe ALARIC project (Incremental Urban Change Research Project) is dedicated to the production of geo-historical information concerning two formerly industrial cities of the Lyon-Saint-Etienne region (19th and 20th century). The explo-ration of the incremental nature of urban change implies identifying when certain historical processes took place, such as the shift from one-off to systematic construction and changes in urban planning strategies. Specifically, the case stu-dy investigates the emergence of local urban projects to compare the transformation processes of the urban fabric and to specify the pace of urban change. Historical records will be accessed through a virtual mapping environment based on the temporal reconstitution of cities in two dimensions, and sometimes for special cases in three dimensions. This paper presents methodological principles to reconstruct former cities in order to inquire urban change and requirements for effective sharing of hypotheses on the various states of the past urban landscape and associated transformation processes.Item Precise 3D Recording for Finite Element Analysis(IEEE, 2015) Kalisperakis, Ilias; Stentoumis, Christos; Grammatikopoulos, Lazaros; Dasiou, Maria Eleni; Psycharis, Ioannis N.; Gabriele Guidi and Roberto Scopigno and Juan BarcelóLately, 3D laser scanning and Photogrammetry are becoming a standard in Cultural Heritage recording. In this contribution, a combination of both methods is presented for the precise 3D geometric documentation of a plaster copy of a Greek statue from the archeological site of Delos. The 3D model was generated for the structural assessment of the original statue and its supporting mechanism via finite element analysis (FEA).Item Interdisciplinary Workflow for Virtual Archaeology(IEEE, 2015) Luznik, Nika; Klein, Michael; Gabriele Guidi and Roberto Scopigno and Juan BarcelóThere is an increasing trend to present cultural heritage with the help of virtual visualisation. It offers a unique level of understanding of the heritage in question. Moreover, depending on the precision of the virtual model, it can be used for scientific research, and it can inspire new ideas and conclusions about the actual looks of the visualised objects. Over the years, companies and institutions have specialized in this field of work, creating new demands on the CG artists of the involved teams, as well as establishing a new kind of archaeological methodology that seeks to research and develop ways of using computer-based visualisation for the comprehensive management of archaeological heritage. However, the interpretation of archaeological datasets and their subsequent transformation into 3D representations of the interpretation usually requires a timeconsuming process of re-evaluation and discussion. Very often, a discrepancy between scientific architectural interpretation that is normally presented in a 2D plane and its realisation in a 3D space occurs, because the 2D representation is not able to show the physical laws of the third dimension. To overcome these difficulties, we propose alternative solutions that lessen the disconnection between the parties. Our software solution enables the archaeologist to perform an interpretative work-flow that places ideas within a customizable 3D environment, therefore resulting in a more direct involvement throughout the reconstructive or representative process. On a broader scale, CGI artists would benefit greatly if they could follow the project evolving and gain a deeper understanding of the specific cultural heritage.Item Mapping Identity with Geo-technology: Montelupo/Italy Versus Santa Leopoldina/Brazil(IEEE, 2015) Andrade, Bruno Amaral de; Almeida, Renata Hermanny de; Gabriele Guidi and Roberto Scopigno and Juan BarcelóThis article is inserted in the hybrid-theme ''Heritage and Representation'', in the field of new methods of iconographic representation of the territorial-landscape heritage, through digital models of cartographic construction. The problematic identified in representations of the territory is solved from an analytical hierarchy of observation, interpretation and comprehension of the relationship between biotic and anthropic dimensions, with consideration of the title role of the ecological aspect of the territory, and its relation to the construction of identity. The hypothesis guides the evaluation and experiment of a consolidated Italian approach and its adoption to the Brazilian context. The objects of empirical study are the cities of Montelupo/Toscany/Italy, and Santa Leopoldina/Espírito Santo/Brazil, as locus to elaborate a comparative method in the environmental heritage category. The aim of this article is revealing how the environmental aspect of the territory is relevant to the construction of identity, through mapping by GIS software.Item Unraveling the Classic Proportions Through the Anthropometric Analysis of the Architectural Heritage The Case of the Pantheon(IEEE, 2015) Roldan-Medina, Francisco Javier; Gabriele Guidi and Roberto Scopigno and Juan BarcelóPrevious results of this research allow to raise the Hypothesis that a simple metric law is sufficient to justify the different dimensions of the various parts composing ancient architectural constructions, from its general layout to every single detail. This Hypothesis is based on the observation that any modulation in historic buildings match with the sides and diagonals of human-sized square pattern, and its duodecimal divisions. However, it´s not possible to match exclusively to the side-square scale, because the Side-Diagonal Dual Scale is necessary, and is sufficient. The analysis of scientific surveys with digital precision led to find the serendipity beyond the current state of the art demonstrating the compliance with this law in architectural works of very different historical periods. This research deals with the study of the Pantheon through the survey of the Bern Digital Pantheon Project. It is highlighted that from the obtained results, in addition to the compliance of the Principle of Proportionality proposed, the Pantheon presents similar modular patterns to those detected in other examples. Knowledge of this common System of Proportions used in the past could represent a scientific breakthrough or new paradigm in the study and preservation of architectural heritage.
