Information systems for preservation of cultural heritage
The preservation of the cultural heritage has become at present a subject of fundamental importance in Italy, above all because of the numerous unhappy events, due to not only natural reasons, happened in these last years. Besides this problem is particularly urgent in Sicily, because of the existence of a considerable cultural heritage and in absence of a complete and systematic inventory. To tackle such a complex subject, the use of informatics is required, since the traditional methods, based especially on paper documentation, are absolutely inadequate. Particularly, this work deals with the cultural heritage inventory selected according to: - historical urban centres; - archaeological s…
Urban 3-D models for plannig of mobile telephony systems
This paper deals with an application of numerical cartography, carried out by means of digital photogrammetry techniques, aimed at the planning of mobile telephony cells. Particularly, urban 3-D vector models (wireframe), got by digital restitution and integrated by raster images referred to rectified buildings facades, were carried out in a sample area selected inside the Orleans Park, seat of the Palermo University. Then such models were processed by computer graphics techniques owing to the operations of rendering and animation. These 3-D representations could come in very useful for study and planning of mobile telephony networks in urban areas.
Cultural heritage and information systems, an investigation into a dedicated hypertext
This paper describes an experiment concerning a ‘historical heritage-conscious’ data recording system. The experiment was part of a wider research, which was conducted into the archaeological site of Piazza Armerina, Sicily, and comprised the surveying, recording and classification of various kinds of information. Notably, the main aims of the research into the data recording system were: a) devising an information system capable of easily recording and organising survey data such as text, drawings, images and animations, for the use of researchers and technicians; b) promoting a multidisciplinary dialogue among different disciplines, thus obtaining some integration among different kinds of…
