An Integrated Method for the Reconstruction of Private Renaissance Exhibition Rooms (camerini) Starting from Ippolito II d’Este’s Cabinet of Paintings at His Tiburtine Villa
This paper presents a new object of study—the so-called camerini, private rooms for study and reflection in the great stately palaces of the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries, which contained riches and artistic heritage of inestimable value and were characterized by very dim lighting. Analysis of the camerini, true precursors of the modern museum, is not only study of a specific subject but also extremely relevant because it allows us to re-anal…
Photometric Stereo Techniques for the 3D Reconstruction of Paintings and Drawings Through the Measurement of Custom-Built Repro Stands
In the digital 3D reconstruction of the shapes and surface reflectance of ancient paintings and drawings using Photometric Stereo (PS) techniques, normal integration is a key step. However, difficulties in locating light sources, non-Lambertian surfaces, and shadows make the results of this step inaccurate for such artworks. This paper presents a solution for PS to overcome this problem based on some enhancement of the normal integration process …

Novel Paradigms in the Cultural Heritage Digitization with Self and Custom-Built Equipment
In the field of the Cultural Heritage (CH), image-based 2D and 3D digital acquisition is today the most common technique used to create digital replicas of existing artifacts. This is carried out for many reasons, such as the following: research, analysis, preservation, conservation, communication, and valorization. These activities usually require complementary specialized equipment, tailored to specific purposes in order to achieve the desired …
Three Points of View for the Drawing Adoration of the Magi by Leonardo da Vinci
This contribution to the literature presents an in-depth analysis of the scene drawn by Leonardo da Vinci in the preparatory drawing, Adoration of the Magi, dated 1481, that is now housed at the Département des Arts Graphiques du Musée du Louvre in Paris, France. This analysis focuses on the architectural elements and highlights how the drawing discloses three distinct vanishing points/centers of vision: one for the classical architecture to the …
The Origins of the Postgraduate Programs on Cultural Heritage Knowledge, Management, Conservation, and Communication in Italy: A Vision of the Past as Engine for the Next Future
A discriminating, multi-disciplinary knowledge is a necessary expertise that all the actors who operate in the management, conservation, and communication of Cultural Heritage (CH) must have. They are, therefore, expected to be seriously prepared in many fields. However, a proper training program for them, which effectively combines humanistic studies with scientific ones, is difficult to be arranged when there is lack of comprehensive perspectiv…
Analysis of Leonardo da Vinci’s Architecture through Parametric Modeling: A Method for the Digital Reconstruction of the Centrally Planned Churches Depicted in Ms. B
Among many other themes, Leonardo da Vinci’s Manuscript B contains several drawings of centrally planned churches, some of which are represented using a plan view paired with a bird’s-eye view. The use of a bird’s-eye instead of an elevation represents an innovative depiction technique, which allows combining the immediacy of the perspective view with the measurability of the façades, and therefore to describe the three-dimensionality of the buil…
A 3D-centered information system for the documentation of a complex restoration intervention
Color definiton of open-air Architectural heritage and Archaeology artworks with the aim of conservation
Innovative approach to the digital documentation and rendering of the total appearance of fine drawings and its validation on Leonardo's Vitruvian Man
Fuentes de color mejoradas para el modelado tridimensional de artefactos arqueológicos de tamaño medio localizados in situ
The paper describes a color enhanced processing system - applied as case study on an artifact of the Pompeii archaeological area - developed in order to enhance different techniques for reality-based 3D models construction and visualization of archaeological artifacts. This processing allows rendering reflectance properties with perceptual fidelity on a consumer display and presents two main improvements over existing techniques: a. the color def…

Pompeya como caso de estudio: La visualización digital aplicada a la arqueología de una ciudad vesubiana
The objective of the experience in Pompeii is to set up an Information System that will enable us to conserve, manage and integrate the data, files and documents gathered at different times and in different areas of the archeological dig; a 3D Unified Information System capable of providing us with a uniform framework for scientific visualization and web-based presentation of the set data -characterized by their heterogeneity- of this city and th…
