Moving towards a new life cycle analysis approach by implementing low cost structural 3d monitoring of historic building safety by means of image bas…
2016
Abstract A building’s structural safety is often remit to human life fatalities and the measures of social protection and security often used following the collapse of a portion of the building. It is quite clear that, if it were possible to monitor the increase of static deterioration, it would be easier to prevent the collapse. There are two fundamental aspects closely linked to the building’s collapse: the first concerns the security of lives and the second concerns the well-being and quality of life when it is considered in relation to Cultural Heritage survival. Unfortunately, the high cost of a 3D survey does not usually permit a constant monitoring of the visible instability. The pap…
Prospettiva solida: il caso della Cattedrale di Palermo
2014
Il panorama culturale architettonico ed artistico del capoluogo siciliano, è così ricco sia in termini di qualità che di varietà, da offrire sempre nuovi spunti di ricerca, interpretazione, elaborazione e rivisitazione. In particolar modo, per quanto concerne gli elementi scultorei e pittorici in cui sono presenti esempi di prospettiva solida, come teatrini, formelle, volte con finte prospettive, quadraturismo, tromp-oeil, ed altro ancora, vi è, sul territorio, una tale quantità e varietà di applicazioni che il loro studio meriterebbe un’attenzione a parte. In seno a questa ricerca su scala Nazionale, considerate le non adeguate forze lavoro a disposizione, è in corso la catalogazione degli…
Multi-feature Counting of Dense Crowd Image Based on Multi-column Convolutional Neural Network
2020
The crowd counting task is an important research problem. Now more and more people are concerned about safety issues. When the population density reaches a very high peak, the population density counts, the alarm is sent out, and the crowds are diverted. The trampling of the Shanghai New Year’s stampede will not happen again. The final density map is produced by two steps: at first, extract feature maps from multiple layers, and then adjust their output so that they are all the same size, all these resized layers are combined into the final density map. We also used texture features and target edge detection to reduce the loss of density map detail to better integrate with our convolutional…
Range-based versus automated markerless image-based techniques for rock art documentation
2014
Nowadays there is a huge proliferation of fully automatic image-based solutions producing either three-dimensional (3D) point clouds or 3D models. However, the reliability of the output is not usually reported and clarified. This paper presents a comparison of the 3D modelling results achieved on two rock art shelters at separate archaeological sites using a high-resolution digital camera. The 3D point clouds were produced using automatic image-based photogrammetric and computer vision software running either locally (FOTOGIFLE and VisualSFM) or through a webbased reconstruction service (Autodesk 123D Catch). The first two automatic approaches are compared with a manual bundle block adjustm…
FROM SFM TO 3D PRINT: AUTOMATED WORKFLOW ADDRESSED TO PRACTITIONER AIMED AT THE CONSERVATION AND RESTAURATION
2017
Abstract. In In the last years there has been an increasing use of digital techniques for conservation and restoration purposes. Among these, a very dominant rule is played by the use of digital photogrammetry packages (Agisoft Photoscan, 3D Zephir) which allow to obtain in few steps 3D textured models of real objects. Combined with digital documentation technologies digital fabrication technologies can be employed in a variety of ways to assist in heritage documentation, conservation and dissemination. This paper will give to practitioners an overview on the state of the art available technologies and a feasible workflow for optimizing point cloud and polygon mesh datasets for the purpose …
Image-based and range-based 3D modelling of archaeological cultural heritage: The telamon of the temple of Olympian Zeus in Agrigento (Italy)
2012
Abstract. The Temple of Olympian Zeus in Agrigento (Italy) was one of the largest temple and at the same time one of the most original of all the Greek architecture. We don’t know exactly how it was because the temple is now almost completely destroyed but it is very well-known for the presence of the Telamons. The Telamons were giant statues (about 8 meters high) probably located outside the temple to fill the interval between the columns. In accordance with the theory most accredited by archaeologists the Telamons were a decorative element and also a support for the structure. However, this hypothesis has never been scientifically proven. One Telamon has been reassembled and is shown at t…
SMART SfM: SALINAS ARCHAEOLOGICAL MUSEUM
2017
Abstract. In these last years, there has been an increasing use of the Structure from Motion (SfM) techniques applied to Cultural Heritage. The accessibility of SfM software can be especially advantageous to users in non-technical fields or to those with limited resources. Thanks to SfM using, everyone can make with a digital camera a 3D model applied to an object of both Cultural Heritage, and physically Environment, and work arts, etc. One very interesting and useful application can be envisioned into museum collection digitalization. In the last years, a social experiment has been conducted involving young generation to live a social museum using their own camera to take pictures and vid…
3D MODELING OF TWO LOUTERIA FRAGMENTS BY IMAGE-BASED APPROACH
2017
Abstract. The paper presents a digital approach to the reconstruction and analysis of two small-sized fragments of louteria, a kind of large terracotta vase, found during an archaeological survey in the south of Sicily (Italy), in the area of Cignana near the Greek colony of Akragas (nowadays Agrigento). The fragments of louteria have been studied by an image-based approach in order to achieve high accurate and very detailed 3D models. The 3D models have been used to carry out interpretive and geometric analysis from an archaeological point of view. Using different digital tools, it was possible to highlight some fine details of the louteria decorations and to better understand the characte…
INTEGRATED SFM TECHNIQUES USING DATA SET FROM GOOGLE EARTH 3D MODEL AND FROM STREET LEVEL
2017
Abstract. Structure from motion (SfM) represents a widespread photogrammetric method that uses the photogrammetric rules to carry out a 3D model from a photo data set collection. Some complex ancient buildings, such as Cathedrals, or Theatres, or Castles, etc. need to implement the data set (realized from street level) with the UAV one in order to have the 3D roof reconstruction. Nevertheless, the use of UAV is strong limited from the government rules. In these last years, Google Earth (GE) has been enriched with the 3D models of the earth sites. For this reason, it seemed convenient to start to test the potentiality offered by GE in order to extract from it a data set that replace the UAV …
Fragment‐ and Negative Image‐Based Screening of Phosphodiesterase 10A Inhibitors
2019
A novel virtual screening methodology called fragment‐ and negative image‐based (F‐NiB) screening is introduced and tested experimentally using phosphodiesterase 10A (PDE10A) as a case study. Potent PDE10A‐specific small‐molecule inhibitors are actively sought after for their antipsychotic and neuroprotective effects. The F‐NiB combines features from both fragment‐based drug discovery and negative image‐based (NIB) screening methodologies to facilitate rational drug discovery. The selected structural parts of protein‐bound ligand(s) are seamlessly combined with the negative image of the target's ligand‐binding cavity. This cavity‐ and fragment‐based hybrid model, namely its shape and electr…
