Multidimensional Analysis of HBIM Segmentation: A Roadmap Towards Standardization
This paper presents a multidimensional analysis of Historic Building Information Modeling (HBIM) segmentation, offering a roadmap towards standardization, a key dimension towards broader adoption within the Cultural Heritage (CH) sector. HBIM faces multiple challenges related to the lack of standardized protocols and varying definitions of Level of Detail (LOD) across applications. Amid the advancements of the fourth industrial revolution, integr…
GIS Approach for Mosaic Tesserae Recognition by Supervised Image Classification
This article describes the methodology used to automatically classify the constituent elements of a monochromatic mosaic from the Roman era. The classification involved the recognition of the tesserae (fragments of black and white materials for the floor ornamentation) of the mosaic using tools and algorithms implemented in Geographic Information System software (GIS). The analyses were performed using sample images expressly created by varying t…
From 3D Point Cloud to an Intelligent Model Set for Cultural Heritage Conservation
Cultural heritage conservation demands interdisciplinary and complex documentation and analysis while facing increasing pressure to adopt sustainable and productive practices. This paper bridges these gaps by proposing a methodology and a set of requirements for Building Information Modeling (BIM) models aligned with European directives for sustainability and productivity in the Architecture, Engineering, and Construction (AEC) sector. Leveraging…
Toward to Combination of GIS-HBIM Models for Multiscale Representation and Management of Historic Center
The aim of this work is to identify a suitable methodology capable of integrating multiscale spatial information about an historic center drawn from a Geographic Information System (GIS) and Historical Building Information Modeling (HBIM). The method is based on a multiscale development system that can efficiently handle different types of geospatial information by exploring geomatic techniques and software for semantic and parametric modeling. O…
Assessment of 3D Model for Photogrammetric Purposes Using AI Tools Based on NeRF Algorithm
The aim of the paper is to analyse the performance of the Neural Radiance Field (NeRF) algorithm, implemented in Instant-NGP software, for photogrammetric purposes. To achieve this aim, several datasets with different characteristics were analysed, taking into account object size, image acquisition technique and geometric configuration of the images. The NeRF algorithm proved to be effective in the construction of the 3D models; in other words, i…
Rapid and Accurate Production of 3D Point Cloud via Latest-Generation Sensors in the Field of Cultural Heritage: A Comparison between SLAM and Spherical Videogrammetry
The manuscript intends to describe different methodologies for the acquisition, data processing, and identification of strategies aimed at improving the quality of 3D point cloud production using latest-generation sensors in the field of cultural heritage surveying. The point clouds taken into consideration were acquired by passive and active sensors on the Buziaș site, an important historical and architectural structure in Romania. In particular…
Scan to BIM for the digital management and representation in 3D GIS environment of cultural heritage site
The aim of this paper is to implement a novel Scan to BIM method applied to cultural heritage field to build 3D GIS model able to connect different databases and, as consequence, allowing a multidisciplinary approach. The proposed method was applied to the case study of a rock church located in the famous ceramics district of Grottaglie (Italy). To obtain the 3D GIS model of the structure under investigation, it was necessary to perform, as a fir…
A CityGML Multiscale Approach for the Conservation and Management of Cultural Heritage: The Case Study of the Old Town of Taranto (Italy)
The aim of this article is to provide a dedicated approach to the realisation of a CityGML model for the valorisation and the conservation of existing cultural heritage. In particular, for the ancient city of Taranto (Italy), several levels of details (LODs) have been built. CityGML models in LOD1 for the most representative periods were realised, which were characterised by urban changes from the mid-1800s until today. To achieve this aim, great…
