“…The images collected of the artefact are studied individually: efflorescence, exfoliation, biological patina, cracks, black crusts, detachments, and stains due to rising damp; they are all identifiable "on sight". This information can be also digitised using BIM software (Bruno and Roncella, 2019;Malinverni et al, 2019) where the digitisation process consists in the creation of objects that are computerised in the H-BIM environment and that can be created by parametric modelling (Brumana et al, 2017;Chiabrando et al, 2017) or using algorithms (Giovannini and Tomalini, 2021;Lo Turco et al, 2021). Some studies focus on the development of workflows and methodologies that can create H-BIM models from point clouds (Fryskowska and Stachelek, 2018) or by using point clouds as reference data (Grilli and Remondino, 2019;Lo Turco and Santagati, 2016;Quattrini et al, 2015).…”
