Mobile LiDAR System is an emerging technology that combines multiple sensors. Active sensors, together with Inertial and Global Navigation System, are synchronized on a mobile platform to produce an accurate and precise geospatial 3D point cloud. They allow obtaining a large amount of georeferenced 3D information in a fast and efficient way, which can be used in several applications such as the...

This paper describes a wireless sensor network (WSN) used to monitor the health state of architectural heritage in real-time. The WSN has been deployed and tested on the "Rognosa" tower in the medieval village of San Gimignano, Tuscany, Italy. This technology, being non-invasive, mimetic, and long lasting, is particularly well suited for long term monitoring and on-line diagnosis of the conserv...

Historical monuments as architectural heritage are, economically and culturally, considered one of the key aspects for modern communities. Cultural heritage represents a country’s national identity and pride and maintains and enriches that country’s culture. Therefore, conservation of the monuments remained from our ancestors requires everybody’s serious and unremitting effort. Conservation, re...

This paper discusses a model for the virtual reconstruction of the historic garden of Villa lo Zerbino in Genoa. We describe the process that starts from a specific knowledge (based on documents, drawings and maps) and leads to a 3d model focusing on the vegetation elements. This representation allows addressing issues peculiar to the reconstruction of historic gardens, such as the analysis of ...

The intrinsic nature of local rocks shaped the features of built heritage in historical centers. The resulting building culture is part of the cultural heritage itself, and must be considered when building in such areas, while it is essential to solve the issues related to traditional constructions’ weaknesses. Nonetheless, the potentialities of massive stone envelopes, particularly the importa...

looking from an historical perspective, it can be seen that many civilizations have lived in the country and consequently produced many different cultures and architectural products. one of the oldest cities which contain such historical examples which have lived until present is tabriz. its traditional houses are the most important places to represent the life style of the past. lack of recogn...

In the last few years, several papers dealing with the integration between different surveying techniques (such as photogrammetry, LiDAR, NIR image processing, 2D digital maps, etc.) have been already presented. The main idea of these works is the possibility to overcome the individual weakness of each technique through their combined use, exploiting their complementary nature. In this work, th...

Abstract. This contribution presents a process of documentation and conservation the built Cultural Heritage, tested on partially disused case study located in urban fabric city Pavia. The actions defined led to design implementation tridimensional Information System obtained integrating data collected across different research areas, reality-based models with goal enriching tool for management...
