Integrative IRT for documentation and interpretation of archaeological structures

The documentation of built heritage involves tangible and intangible features. Several morphological and metric aspects of architectural structures are acquired throughout a massive data capture system, such as the Terrestrial Laser Scanner (TLS) and the Structure from Motion (SfM) technique. They produce models that give information about the skin of architectural organism. Infrared Thermography (IRT) is one of the techniques used to investigate what is beyond the external layer. This technology is particularly significant in the diagnostics and conservation of the built heritage.

Tack project. Tunnel and bridge automatic crack monitoring using deep learning and photogrammetry

Civil infrastructures, such as tunnels and bridges, are directly related to the overall economic and demographic growth of countries.
The aging of these infrastructures increases the probability of catastrophic failures that results in loss of lives and high repair costs;
all over the world, these factors drive the need for advanced infrastructure monitoring systems. For these reasons, in the last years,
different types of devices and innovative infrastructure monitoring techniques have been investigated to automate the process and

Using optical satellite and aerial imagery for automatic coastline mapping

The continuous availability and rapid accessibility to multispectral data from satellite platforms within the Copernicus Programme represents a great opportunity for users in different fields of applications as: Agriculture, observation of coastal zones, monitoring land cover change. The aim of this paper is to identify a suitable method to map coastline using Sentinel-2 optical satellite image. The method provides the use of two indexes developed in remote sensing field for water environment: NDWI (Normalized difference water index) and MNDWI (Modified Normalized difference water index).

Unmanned aerial systems (UASs) for environmental monitoring. A review with applications in coastal habitats

Nowadays the proliferation of small unmanned aerial systems or vehicles (UAS/
Vs), formerly known as drones, coupled with an increasing interest in tools for environmental
monitoring, have led to an exponential use of these unmanned aerial
platforms for many applications in the most diverse fields of science. In particular,
ecologists require data collected at appropriate spatial and temporal resolutions to
describe ecological processes. For these reasons, we are witnessing the proliferation of

The internet for everything system for the papal basilica and sacred convent of Saint Francis in Assisi, Italy

The purpose of this work is to illustrate the methodology and show the results obtained from the
study and the design of the Internet of Everything system for the Papal Basilica and Sacred Convent
of Saint Francis in Assisi, Italy, considering all the sub-projects that have already started and the new sub-projects that are going
to start.

Prehistoric and historic monumental funerary structures in the “Chott el Jérid” area (Southern Tunisia). The importance of photogrammetry for rapid and complete documentation in Saharan contexts

As part of the Tunisian-Italian archaeological joint mission to the Sahara, a research project (survey and excavation) has focused since 2015 on the study of the funerary archaeology of the prehistoric and historical communities of southern Tunisia. The surveyed area, located along the southern and eastern edges of Chott el Jerid (governorate of Kebili), was selected, after scrutinizing the information collected by the “Service Géographique de l’Armée Française” during the early 20th century about the funerary structures.

Imaging rover technology: characteristics, possibilities and possible improvements

The terrestrial photogrammetric survey allows to acquire geometric characteristics of objects quickly and with handy and inexpensive hardware. Traditionally, these measurements require some hours of time between the choice of the acquisition points, the setting up of the camera, the survey of the topographic support network and subsequent processing of the acquired data.

Fisheye Photogrammetry to Survey Narrow Spaces in Architecture and a Hypogea Environment

Nowadays, the increasing computation power of commercial grade processors has actively led to a vast spreading of image-based reconstruction software as well as its application in different disciplines. As a result, new frontiers regarding the use of photogrammetry in a vast range of investigation activities are being explored. This paper investigates the implementation of
fisheye lenses in non-classical survey activities along with the related problematics. Fisheye lenses are outstanding because of their large field of view.
