Improving point matching on multimodal images using distance and orientation automatic filtering
2016
International audience; Speed Up Robust Features SURF is one of the most popular and efficient methods used for image registration task. In order to achieve a correct registration, a good matching of feature point is required. However in the case of multimodal images, the high and non-linear intensity changes between different modalities led to many outliers (mismatching of detected points) and consequently a fail in the registration. Therefore, in this paper we introduce an efficient method devoted to the detection and removal of such outlier. It's based on an automatic filtering of outliers on both distance and orientation between features points. We tested our proposed method on a set of…

Fire Safety in Historical Theatres (Italian-Style)
2019
The research starts from a punctual knowledge of the theatrical typology under many aspects and in-depth analysis: from the recognition of the monumental value and qualification of a historical theater, collective heritage to be preserved for future generations, we’ll investigate environmental, typological, distributive, functional, material and constructive characters in the earliest designing phases and after the adjustment and transformation interventions occurred. The main aim is identifying all the parts that are at risk of fire, the equipment implementation done to lower such a risk, with the purpose of suggesting adequate systems intended to gain a major level of fire protection in a…
La dimensión creativa en la escritura, ilustración y musicalización de cuentos del mundo
2017
El presente artículo explora la dimensión creativa de dos talleres de escritura, ilustración y musicalización de cuentos del mundo llevado a cabo con estudiantes de Pedagogía en el marco del proyecto TALIS en un campus universitario rural del nordeste de Brasil. Los objetivos principales fueron la recuperación de la memoria histórica y del patrimonio cultural de la región de Paraíba (Brasil); la formación de profesores en ejercicio y futuros profesores en nuevas metodologías docentes, en línea con los principios de la educación para el desarrollo; y la elaboración de materiales docentes creativos en formato escrito y audiovisual. Los datos recabados a través de cuestionarios, entrevistas se…
Towards an environmental assessment model of palaeontological and archaeological heritage in the Autonomous Valencian Community without comparative t…
2019
The deficient management of the paleontological heritage through the environmental impact assessment procedures from the Valencian public administrations, linked mainly to the lack of competent technical means in the matter, results in an almost abandonment of it. On the contrary, the archaeological heritage has a series of perfectly structured tools that allow any possible impact on it regarding projects and actions subject to environmental impact assessment that can be detected and corrected. The damage that this situation creates results in the abandonment and almost absolute lack of protection of the palaeontological heritage in the Valencian Community. Despite how much has been written…
Multiple approaches to identify bacteria in archaeological waterlogged wood
2013
This study was carried out in collaboration with Soprintendenza del Mare (SM) that started, since 2004, to plan and realize underwater archaeological parks, such as in the Sicilian islands of Pantelleria (Gadir), Levanzo (Cala Minnola), Ustica (Falconiera), Panarea (Basiluzzo) and Filicudi (Capo Graziano). In situ conservation, as well as virtual exhibitions of the same topics, can contribute to ensure the protection and best fruition of underwater cultural heritage. The focus of this study was the identification of bacterial colonies in waterlogged wood samples from the rostrum of a excellent workmanship, that is very likely one of the wrecks attributed to Sextus Pompey fleet (36 BC) and d…

This paper observes how landscapes were used in anniversary celebrations and what historical themes were foregrounded and which omitted, revealing how collective historical commemoration in landscape enacts within national identity framework depending also on how landscape is understood in each respective country.
GPR 3D model in the area of the San Nicola church, Misterbianco (Sicily)
2022
Abstract In 1669 the most destructive eruption on Etna volcano was recorded since historical times (about 700 BCE), whose lava flow destroyed completely the ancient town of Misterbianco, located on the southern slope of Mount Etna. San Nicola church is one of the three churches that historically were covered by lava flow. In the 1980s, some works for the construction of a parking lot allowed to discover an ancient wall belonging to the church. Some georadar prospections were carried out in the investigated area finalized to reconstruct the planimetric development of the ancient church and to direct future excavation works.
A multidisciplinary approach to the study of cultural heritage environments: Experience at the Palatina Library in Parma
2015
The aim of this paper is to describe a multidisciplinary approach including biological and particle monitoring, and microclimate analysis associated with the application of the Computational Fluid Dynamic (CFD). This approach was applied at the Palatina historical library in Parma. Monitoring was performed both in July and in December, in the absence of visitors and operators. Air microbial monitoring was performed with active and passive methods. Airborne particles with a diameter of ≥0.3, ≥0.5, ≥1 and ≥5 μm/m3, were counted by a laser particle counter. The surface contamination of shelves and manuscripts was assessed with nitrocellulose membranes. A spore trap sampler was used to identify…
