    No full text
    The contribution related to the processes of knowledge and enhancement of cultural heritage, based on the potential offered by Artificial Intelligence and Augmented Reality, proposes an analysis of the situation of L’Aquila’s buildings ten years after the 2009 earthquake. The research, conducted on the basis of integrated surveys carried out before and after the earthquake, focuses on the application of AR/ VR devices through the implementation of AI. The aim is to propose a solution able to promote the use of the historical buildings of L’Aquila, activating at the same time the dynamics of cultural regeneration in the area, through the use of an App that uses AR+AI systems; a tour that can show with immediacy the urban architectural evolution, solving in part the intrinsic difficulties posed by the current situation of precarious visibility and accessibility of some noble buildings, subject to restoration, with the aim of highlighting the evolution of transformations, stylistic and structural changes produced by the different and stratified post–earthquake reconstructions

    Sistemi fortificati dell’Adriatico centrale: indagini storiche, rappresentazioni contemporanee e ricostruzioni digitali

    In riferimento alle tematiche del convegno il contributo propone una rilettura del patrimonio fortificato dell’Adriatico centrale, finalizzato a una migliore comprensione, gestione e valorizzazione delle strutture difensive in esso custodito che in alcuni casi rischia di svanire, riassorbito delle trasformazioni contemporanee. L’indagine riguarda in particolare il sistema di difesa costiero e della prima fascia collinare, costituito da presidi e torri che svolgevano le funzioni di avvistamento, approdo e difesa litoranea. Queste strutture furono edificate con l’intento di demarcare l’esteso limite naturale soggetto a frequenti attacchi dal mare, particolarmente vulnerabile nella piatta distesa sabbiosa dell’Abruzzo marittimo in cui l’assenza di porti protetti, facilitava le invasioni. Le ripetute scorrerie dei turchi ispirarono così la realizzazione, nel corso del XVI secolo, di un sistema difensivo strategico basato sulla comunicazione tra la fascia litoranea e l’entroterra. Le torri costiere localizzate in prossimità degli sbocchi fluviali, posizionate in modo da essere visibili tra loro, definivano un’ossatura protettiva basata su una rete di relazioni visive, di segnali che consentivano di allertare i presidi interni. In realtà una labile barriera fatta di costruzioni puntiformi, insufficienti dal punto di vista difensivo, ma utili a comunicare e a delimitare i confini naturali della costa adriatica secondo i moderni progetti di Pietro di Toledo e del Vicerè Duca D’alcalà Don Parafan De Ribera. Partendo dal fiume Tronto che segnava il confine del Regno di Napoli con lo Stato Pontificio, protetto dall’imponente fortezza di Civitella, si intercalavano sei torri costiere posizionate nell’Abruzzo Ulteriore che arrivavano alla piazzaforte di Pescara, antica Ostia Aterni, per poi proseguire sistematicamente nella parte Citeriore fino alle terre di Capitanata che introducevano nel territorio pugliese, analogamente punteggiato di torri litoranee. Una prima ricognizione di queste strutture fu effettuata tra il 1594- 98 da Carlo Gambacorta, ingegnere militare governatore dell’Abruzzo, e costituisce un’importante testimonianza iconografica impiegata per individuare e comparare le strutture ancora presenti con l’attuale situazione dei luoghi. In sintesi, la ricerca attraverso la sinopia delle immagini storiche fornisce rappresentazioni contemporanee, ricostruzioni digitali e interattive che possono offrire diverse chiavi di lettura incentrate sull’analisi grafica supportata dalla modellazione tridimensionale avanzata

    Indagare l’astratto per il concreto nel retorico dualismo tra causa ed effetto, riferisce la sperimentazione condotta per la didattica a distanza in cui, non essendo possibile effettuare in presenza le consuete operazioni di rilevamento da svolgere con gli allievi, si è definita una metodologia operativa incentrata su esperienze di acquisizione dati tratti da contenuti informativi impiegando simulazioni virtuali. L’esperienza pone le basi su precedenti ricerche e sperimentazioni scientifiche che hanno messo a confronto acquisizioni da drone con tour virtuali che catturano le immagini dalla piattaforma divulgativa di Google Earth Pro. Il procedimento lowcost consente di ottenere rapidamente un modello di studio da impiegare come base per operazioni di rilevamento tramite rimodellazione, per la creazione di rappresentazioni derivanti da acquisizioni online. Come premessa metodologia saranno illustrate e messe a confronto le applicazioni condotte in due ambiti conoscitivi a scala architettonica e territoriale, fornendo risultati e criticità conseguiti attraverso tali sistemi lowcost, per poi passare a descrivere i lavori ottenuti nel modello didattico messo in atto nella fase emergenziale della pandemia che ci ha costretto ad abbandonare repentinamente le consuete fasi operative del rilevamento per proiettarci nella formazione a distanza, non semplice per le specificità dell’ambito disciplinare. In sintesi, il contributo propone riflessioni operative da cui trarre spunto per esplorare le opportunità offerte dalla tecnologia, le potenzialità analitiche e rappresentative dei linguaggi digitali nel campo dei rilevamenti a distanza.Investigating the abstract for the concrete in the rhetorical dualism between cause and effect, refers to the experimentation carried out for distance learning in which, since it is not possible to carry out the usual surveying operations in presence with the students, an operational methodology was defined centred on experiences of data acquisition from information content using virtual simulations. The experience is based on previous scientific research and experiments that have compared drone acquisitions with virtual tours that capture images from the Google Earth Pro information platform. The low-cost procedure makes it possible to quickly obtain a study model to be used as a basis for survey operations by remodelling, for the creation of representations derived from online acquisitions. As a methodological premise, we will illustrate and compare the applications carried out in two cognitive areas on an architectural and territorial scale, providing results and criticalities obtained through these low-cost systems, and then go on to describe the work obtained from the teaching model implemented during the emergency phase of the pandemic, which forced us to suddenly abandon the usual operational phases of the survey to engage in distance learning, which is not easy due to the specific nature of the discipline. In short, the contribution proposes operational reflections from which to explore the opportunities offered by technology, the analytical and representative potential of digital languages in the field of distance lear ning

      The contribution deals with the subject of the virtual museum specifying its rapid transformations in an age where information, especially in the field of digital technologies, constantly change making the adopted information systems rapidly obsoleted. The acceleration caused by technological advances, the speed of the network, combined with the changing needs of contemporary society, urge the museums to interact with the audience through cultural sharing by multimedia platforms. The goal of this article is to approach the subject from the point of view of the representation, investigating the oxymoron between the traditional museum, housed in a limited exhibition system, and the virtual museum extended in unlimited web spaces, proposing the application to the case study of the Castelli Ceramics Museum.</p

    GEOMATICS AS A SURVEY TOOL TO DOCUMENT AND ENHANCE THE CULTURAL AND LANDSCAPED HERITAGE OF THE MONUMENTAL COMPLEXES IN THE MOUNTAINS OF ABRUZZO

    The themes of the conference provide an opportunity to exchange views on topics of study in which multidisciplinary contributions of geomatics and restoration contribute to the cognitive process aimed at the conservation of cultural Heritage. In this regard, the contribution exposes research aimed at understanding the documentation and the enhancement of unique architectural – landscape patrimony kept in the Abruzzo mountains. It is about the numerous spiritual retreats established by Pietro da Morrone, Pope Celestino V, mounted among unpassable rocky walls, where the architecture blends with its natural environment camouflaging with it. The analysis refers, specifically to the aspects of survey conducted during the years with the aid of integrated methodologies, able to allow the acquisition, management and comparison of the data. The analysis refers, specifically, to recent digital acquisitions involving the development of San Bartolomeo in Legio, on the slopes of Majella near Roccamorice detected with the use of comparative Agisoft Photoscan and Pix4d software, with shots taken with drones of different sizes, able to mount professional photographic cameras and associate to each picture the coordinates Gps of the point of shooting. Follows a confrontation between a survey carried out with 3d laser scanner, Faro Ls1105, and described acquisitions, obtained from ground and from drone with Photoscan, in order to compare the two scans and the metric differences obtained with the two methods

    In recent years, an increase in international investment in hardware and software technology to support programs that adopt algorithms for photomodeling or data management from laser scanners significantly reduced the costs of operations in support of Augmented Reality and Virtual Reality, designed to generate real-time explorable digital environments integrated to virtual stereoscopic headset. The research analyzes transversal methodologies related to the acquisition of these technologies in order to intervene directly on the phenomenon of acquiring the current VR tools within a specific workflow, in light of any issues related to the intensive use of such devices , outlining a quick overview of the possible "virtual migration" phenomenon, assuming a possible integration with the new internet hyper-speed systems, capable of triggering a massive cyberspace colonization process that paradoxically would also affect the everyday life and more in general, on human space perception. The contribution aims at analyzing the application systems used for low cost 3d photogrammetry by means of a precise pipeline, clarifying how a 3d model is generated, automatically retopologized, textured by color painting or photo-cloning techniques, and optimized for parametric insertion on virtual exploration platforms. Workflow analysis will follow some case studies related to photomodeling, digital retopology and "virtual 3d transfer" of some small archaeological artifacts and an architectural compartment corresponding to the pronaus of Aurum, a building designed in the 1940s by Michelucci. All operations will be conducted on cheap or free licensed software that today offer almost the same performance as their paid counterparts, progressively improving in the data processing speed and management
