From the Relief to the 3d Reconstruction_the Methodology

Through the plan in issue, carried out at the Virtual Heritage Lab of the Itabc at the CNR that looks at the “reconstruction of the archaeological landscape of the ancient Flaminia with virtual reality systems”, we would like to underline some steps for the reconstruction of the virtual environment and archaeological structures. It can be possible through different techniques and data sources, integrate in a coherent methodology of elaboration and communication: cartographic data, remote sensing, photo-interpretation, topographic survey, laser scanner data, photogrammetry, photomodelling, computer vision and so on. It is possible to build a digital ecosystem, oriented towards a real time desktop Direct X application that individualizes two levels of perception. The first one represents an holistic vision of the road from Rome to Rimini, based on technical cartography and aerial and satellite photos able to support the realization of a web gis; the second one, which dips into a micro-space vision that focuses the attention on four monographies, with the aim to represent and contextualize the local entities within the “ancient landscape” entity. Through the 3d reconstruction of the architectural heritage and its real time display, we obtained an accurate and communicative interpretation that both suits research purposes and can transmit the importance of conservation to the general public. It is perceived as an effective way to divulgate and publicise information that is often only accessed by the scientific community.
