Our cities today represent a complex intersection of material and immaterial culture, which can be described and promoted through possible heritage itineraries. Among the various topics of these itineraries, a topic of great interest for us is the writings traced throughout history on the wall surfaces of the city’s buildings to convey messages and...

The research addresses the challenges in Optical Character Recognition (OCR) systems when applied to ancient inscriptions and graffiti. These artifacts, serving celebratory or commemorative purposes, often present legibility issues due to erosion and gaps in the text. Our study proposes an automated image processing pipeline supported by 3D data fr...

The recent advancements in artificial intelligence (AI) platforms dedicated to image generation have revolutionized conceptual design across various creative disciplines, including architectural design. We are witnessing a growing integration of AI within this field, a phenomenon fuelled by its remarkable advantages and the ongoing evolution of app...

Le architetture fortificate medioevali presentano spesso una stretta relazione con il territorio e una ridotta accessibilità. L’uso integrato degli strumenti propri del Disegno quali il rilievo, la restituzione grafica e la modellazione BIM consente di avviare analisi comparative ed interpretative per la definizione di nuovi modelli della conoscenz...

Military fortifications have always played a key role in territorial defense. Their location and visibility often depended on strategic military choices, such as shape. The geometric development of the latter is the result of centuries of refinement of construction techniques concerning the evolution of warfare, the architectural consistency of the...

Generally, the integrated application of 3D surveying and BIM modelling methodologies on complex case studies leads to a critical evaluation of the pros and cons of the applied process. Virtual 3D models can become a knowledge repository and flexible communication tools to highlight the historical evolution of the building as well as its material a...

The research is framed in multimedia photogrammetry, a specific domain aimed at acquiring geometric information about static objects immersed or semi-submerged in a liquid through one or more cameras external to the liquid. If the liquid is water, this field belongs to the broader field of applied metrology for analysing and understanding the aquat...

Visual communication allows promoting territories to rediscover urban contexts. The stratification and hybridization of cultures, societies, and palimpsests, can be highlighted by visual paths, which offer possible keys of interpretation. The article suggests two visual paths created during a CIVIS Summer School to read the Esquiline neighbourhood...

Integrated surveying with active and passive systems is a well-established process for understanding artifacts at different scales and levels of complexity. But some acquisition problems still exist, related to the presence of non-optically cooperating materials, reflective surfaces, and non-homogeneous and uncontrolled illumination conditions. Esp...

This is the book of abstracts created for the goINDIGO 2023 international graffiti symposium organised in the framework of the academic project INDIGO.

The role of drones is becoming increasingly important within current 3D survey methodologies. Their flexibility of use and the ability to acquire images from inaccessible viewpoints make them a critical instrument in multiple fields of application at both urban and architectural scales. This success is mainly due to the progressive development of t...

In the cultural heritage knowledge path, the survey process assumes a primary role as a tool to analyze and interpret through bibliographic and iconographic analysis and the study of reality. The case study analyzed in the article is the Castle of Canossa, the epicenter of some critical events in medieval times. The authors describe the first part...
