The manuscript introduces a multi-view photogrammetric system designed to generate detailed 3D facial models to improve forensic face recognition (FFR). Developed in collaboration with the Rome Carabinieri Scientific Investigation Department (RIS), this study represents an initial feasibility study for creating a 3D mug shot with sub-millimetre acc...

Protection and maintenance of green architecture such as parks, countryside villas, and historic gardens are a duty of our communities. Recently, hand‐held or portable mobile laser scanner (MLS) systems exploiting simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM) are becoming a promising alternative to terrestrial laser scanner (TLS) in densely vegetate...

A traditional mug shot is a front and side view of a person from the shoulder up, taken by law enforcement. Forensic science is exploring the benefit of working with 3D data offered by new technologies, and there is an increasing need to work with 3D mug shots. Among the various available techniques, a multi-view photogrammetric approach achieves t...

Caves have a great archaeological importance: they were used as a dwelling, as a shelter of animals, as an occasional refuge both for funerary and religious purposes. A cave survey is the first step towards their exploration. This study describes the San Giorgio cave’s survey that is the object of an archaeological research that concerns both the a...

Powerline inspection is an important task for electric power management. Corridor mapping, i.e., the task of surveying the surroundings of the line and detecting potentially hazardous vegetation and objects, is performed by aerial light detection and ranging (LiDAR) survey. To this purpose, the main tasks are automatic extraction of the wires and m...

Horizontal levels are references entities, the base of man-made environments. Their creation is the first step for various applications including the BIM (Building Information Modelling). BIM is an emerging methodology, widely used for new constructions, and increasingly applied to existing buildings (scan-to-BIM). The as-built BIM process is still...

Rome is the city where two different cultures have found their greatest architectural achievement, the Latin civilization and the Christian civilization. It is for this reason that in Rome there is the greatest concentration in the world of Roman buildings, monuments and Christian buildings and churches. Rome is the seat of the papacy; say the head...

On the Aventine Minor, the oratory of Santa Silvia was home to a community of oriental monks, who, in the first half of the seventeenth century, created a typical Palestinian cemetery with a small monastery that expanded with the growing prestige of the community. The construction of the Basilica of San Saba, above the oratory, was by a group of mo...

Unmanned aerial vehicle-based LiDAR survey provides very-high-density point clouds, which involve very rich information about forest detailed structure, allowing for detection of individual trees, as well as demanding high computational load. Single-tree detection is of great interest for forest management and ecology purposes, and the task is rela...

In order to improve the observation capability in one of the most active volcanic areas in the world, Mt. Etna, we developed a processing method to use the surveillance cameras for a quasi real-time mapping of syn-eruptive processes. Following an evaluation of the current performance of the Etna permanent ground NEtwork of Thermal and Visible Senso...

The objective of this paper is to highlight current trends in photogrammetry, trying to foresee where they will lead the discipline in the next years. To this aim, first some remarks on the challenges brought to photogrammetry by other sensors and a brief historical survey of some research topics, where an increasing convergence between photogramme...

We present the first step of a research aimed at automating a driven interactive 3D modeling of an existing architectural object. The method is based on oriented multi-image spherical panoramas produced by stitching techniques. The photogrammetric process has two steps: the creation of a semi-automatic process to find homolog points in two panorama...

In volcanic areas, where it can be difficult to perform direct surveys, digital photogrammetry techniques are rarely adopted for routine volcano monitoring. Nevertheless, they have remarkable potentialities for observing active volcanic features (e.g., fissures, lava flows) and the connected deformation processes. The ability to obtain accurate qua...

In this work, a simple methodology is presented for processing high-resolution topographical data over wide areas. It is based on digital elevation model of differences (DEMoD) among high-resolution digital models (HRDEM) produced from lightdetection and ranging (LiDAR) data. Because these qualitative approaches based on HRDEMs can be affected by e...

Panoramic images have increasingly interesting applications and they are extensively used for cultural heritage documentation and virtual 3D environments. Moreover, it has been proven that they can contain good metric content. This paper describes a state-of-the-art photogrammetric tool based on spherical panoramas. The fundamental photogrammetric...

Filtering non-terrain points from raw laser scanning data is the most important goal to improve productivity in DTM generation. Filtering algorithms are built on assumptions about what discriminates terrain points from points on other objects (e.g. buildings and vegetation). In most cases, a single measure is used to accept or reject points. In thi...

Automatic building detection has been a hot topic since the early 1990’s. Early approaches were based on a single aerial image. Detecting buildings is a difficult task so it can be more effective when multiple sources of information are obtained and fused. The objective of this paper is to provide a comparative analysis of automatic approaches to b...
