THE VAST PROJECT: VALORISATION OF HISTORY AND LANDSCAPE FOR PROMOTING THE MEMORY OF WWI

2018

Abstract. The VAST (valorisation of history and landscape) project (http://vast.fbk.eu/) was part of the initiatives promoted by the Autonomous Province of Trento (Italy) for the commemoration of the 100th Anniversary of the First World War (WWI) outbreak. The project was primarily aimed to document and promote, through 3D digitization approaches and communication material, the memory of sites, theatre of the world conflict. The Italian Trento’s province had been under the Austro–Hungarian Empire until the end of the WWI, during which represented a crucial and bloody war front between the Austrian and Italian territories. The region was constellated of military fortresses, trenches and tunn…

Towards Digital Twinning on the Web: Heterogeneous 3D Data Fusion Based on Open-Source Structure

2023

Recent advances in Computer Science and the spread of internet connection have allowed specialists to virtualize complex environments on the web and offer further information with realistic exploration experiences. At the same time, the fruition of complex geospatial datasets (point clouds, Building Information Modelling (BIM) models, 2D and 3D models) on the web is still a challenge, because usually it involves the usage of different proprietary software solutions, and the input data need further simplification for computational effort reduction. Moreover, integrating geospatial datasets acquired in different ways with various sensors remains a challenge. An interesting question, in that r…

GLOBE BASED 3D GIS SOLUTIONS FOR VIRTUAL HERITAGE

2018

Abstract. During the last years, many solutions have been proposed for 3D Virtual Heritage representations. Recently, also new technologies for online gaming evolved, based on javascript libraries (WebGL), used to create and publish virtual interactive environments. They are based on recent Web browser’s functionalities, surpassing some limitations of VRML technologies. On the side of geospatial information, technology has evolved from desktop GIS to 2D WebGIS and globe applications. The use of globe applications is, today, very diffused due to its immediate and at the same time impressive representation of the earth surface and territories. These technologies have been, also, applied to Vi…

Construction of a webgis tool based on a gis semiautomated processing for the localization of p2g plants in sicily (Italy)

2021

The recent diffusion of RES (Renewable Energy Sources), considering the electric energy produced by photovoltaic and wind plants, brought to light the problem of the unpredictable nature of wind and solar energy. P2G (Power to Gas) implementation seems to be the right solution, transforming curtailed energy in hydrogen. The choice of the settlement of P2G plants is linked to many factors like the distances between the gas grid and the settlement of RES plants, the transportation networks, the energy production, and population distribution. In light of this, the implementation of a Multi-Criteria Analysis (MCA) into a Geographic Information System (GIS) processing represents a good strategy …

UN SIT PER IL PPE DEL CENTRO STORICO DI PALERMO: IL CASO STUDIO DEL MANDAMENTO CASTELLAMMARE

2015

In this work a Geographic Information System was realised at the service of municipal administration of Palermo, to integrate, manage and store city plan information regarding the urban district Castellammare whereof detailed executive plan of inner city, correlating basic cartography, current urban instrument, cadastral cartography, current restriction schemes, monumental and historical monuments, street numbers and street network. Quantum GIS vers. 1.8 of Free and Open-Source Software (FOSS) community was exclusively utilized to the fulfilment of GIS. To the experimentation and the fulfilment of WebGIS a free server was used in cloud on the Amazon, where a virtual machine, based on MapSer…

OPENSIRACUSA. Una piattaforma WebGIS interoperabile per la tutela, la valorizzazione e la fruizione dei Beni Culturali

Siracusa possiede un ingente patrimonio archeologico e culturale, posto oggi a testimonianza di una delle più grandi e potenti città dell’Occidente antico e giunto a noi tramite complessi meccanismi di stratificazione archeologica e architettonica e in seguito a ripetuti processi di espansione e contrazione del centro abitato nel corso dei secoli. Questo immenso patrimonio, variamente conservato all’interno del tessuto urbano moderno, tuttavia, ha dovuto e deve fare ancora oggi i conti con numerose criticità che rischiano di minarne inevitabilmente la conoscenza, la comprensione e la stessa salvaguardia. In tale quadro nasce OpenSiracusa, un progetto di archeologia pubblica volto alla creaz…

Paleocarta del Valdarno: esperienze di valorizzazione del territorio

2019

Le faune fossili plio-pleistoceniche del Valdarno (Toscana, Italia centrale) costituiscono un patrimonio di grande importanza storico-scientifica. Al fine di favorire l’accesso della collettività alle faune del Valdarno Superiore custodite presso il Museo Paleontologico di Montevarchi (Arezzo), sia al pubblico generale che agli specialisti, è stata studiata e sviluppata la Paleocarta del Valdarno Superiore, un progetto basato sulla piattaforma Google Maps e sul software gratuito Qgis. Il progetto ha portato alla costruzione di due carte geografico-paleontologiche, suddivise a loro volta nei tre diversi momenti di popolamento del Valdarno. The Upper Pliocene – Lower Pleistocene faunas of Val…

3D DATA INTEGRATION FOR WEB BASED OPEN SOURCE WebGL INTERACTIVE VISUALISATION

2022

Abstract. Recent advances in open-source geospatial technologies in WebGIS allowed the visualization of a 3D complex environment on the web, exploiting realistic Globe reproduction of the real territorial asset. At the same time, in the field of gaming technologies, the new possibilities offered by open-source WebGL JavaScript libraries allowed the creation of Virtual Reality navigation models on the web. The integration between 3D GIS globe navigation models and VR environment navigation is a solution that offers a further level of detail in web navigation, exploiting the capabilities of web browsers in the best way. This research further contributes to this field, showing a workflow to in…

Un WEBGIS Open Source a supporto dei rilievi GPS in Sicilia

2011

Con il rapido sviluppo di Internet, degli ultimi anni, i sistemi informativi geografici basati sull’utilizzo del Web sono diventati un argomento di forte interesse per il settore dei GIS. Il WEBGIS è uno strumento software, basato su sistemi di reti locali o geografiche e su un’interfaccia semplificata operante tramite browser Internet, che permette l’accesso a banche dati geografiche, anche a persone non esperte del settore. Tramite tale strumento è possibile visualizzare contestualmente informazioni geografiche organizzate su livelli informativi tematici, anche caratterizzati da diverso sistema di riferimento geografico ed eseguire, tramite un’interfaccia Web semplificata, parte delle ope…
