“…UAS-born LiDAR is a 3D recording approach less explored for historical structures [336] than for landscape features induced by buried archaeological remains. Planning of the aerial surveys [258,337] is not the only important parameter for structural inspection, as the optimization of recorded large-volume data [338,339] can be considered equally essential. Furthermore, the automatic segmentation and classification of derived point clouds and 3D models [340][341][342] has particular importance for the semantic description and virtual reassembly of historic structures, especially for BIM integration [343], and web and augmented/mixed reality applications [344].…”

Built cultural heritage is under constant threat due to environmental pressures, anthropogenic damages, and interventions. Understanding the preservation state of monuments and historical structures, and the factors that alter their architectural and structural characteristics through time, is crucial for ensuring their protection. Therefore, inspection and monitoring techniques are essential for heritage preservation, as they enable knowledge about the altering factors that put built cultural heritage at risk, by recording their immediate effects on monuments and historic structures. Nondestructive evaluations with close-range sensing techniques play a crucial role in monitoring. However, data recorded by different sensors are frequently processed separately, which hinders integrated use, visualization, and interpretation. This article’s aim is twofold: i) to present an overview of close-range sensing techniques frequently applied to evaluate built heritage conditions, and ii) to review the progress made regarding the fusion of multi-sensor data recorded by them. Particular emphasis is given to the integration of data from metric surveying and from recording techniques that are traditionally non-metric. The article attempts to shed light on the problems of the individual and integrated use of image-based modeling, laser scanning, thermography, multispectral imaging, ground penetrating radar, and ultrasonic testing, giving heritage practitioners a point of reference for the successful implementation of multidisciplinary approaches for built cultural heritage scientific investigations.

“…In this situation, digital documentation techniques can play a primary role to preserve the significance of this site to future generations. These considerations led to the development of a documentation and survey strategy whose aim was to record the current state of the archaeological site and develop a monitoring strategy aimed at documenting damages on the site after flooding events (Previtali, Stanga, Molnar, Van Meerbeek, & Barazzetti, 2018). Documentation of these phenomena was carried out with an integrated survey strategy combining photogrammetry, Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) survey, and terrestrial laser scanner (TLS).…”

Cultural and built heritage is nowadays recognized as a value not only in the socio-cultural field but also as an important economic driver. However, this non-renewable resource is more and more threatened by both external and internal factors and only by raising awareness on the vulnerability of cultural heritage we can lead to a real involvement of citizen to heritage site protection. In this sense, Virtual Museums (VMs), and more in general virtual technologies, can have a primary role to attract tourists and citizens. Indeed, VMs by presenting cultural concepts by using amusing and engaging techniques may reach younger generations in an easier way. In this paper, the specific case of the San Clemente archaeological site (Albenga, Italy) is addressed. Being the site in the riverbed of the Centa, it undergoes frequent flooding events causing continuously new damages to the archaeological site. The development of a virtual logbook of the site is presented along with the pre-processing steps that are necessary for the preparation of the published material. The logbook is addressed on one side to professionals (i.e. archaeologists and practitioners in cultural heritage) with the main aim of providing a tool for quick damage assessment. On the other side, a mobile app is on development for tourists and citizens allowing virtual exportation of the site and providing informative contents about it.Highlights:<ul><li>Virtual museums and virtual environments are fundamental tools to raise awareness about the vulnerability of archaeological sites.</li><li>This paper presents the development of a virtual logbook, that can be used by experts and tourists, for the archaeological site of San Clemente (Albenga).</li><li>Integration of data coming from different sources is rendered into a web environment that can be easily accessed from both desktop and mobile devices.</li></ul>

“…In particular, the heavy discharge of the Centa scoured the portion of the structures directly facing the river. The main risks to the site connected to flooding events are: (i) scour and erosion of the riverbanks; (ii) deposition of debris over the site and (iii) removal of stones due to the strong current flooding event classified as water bomb rainfalls (Previtali et al, 2018).…”

Abstract. This paper will go into further detail on pressures and policies faced by the archaeological site of San Clemente’s caretakers, that affect the sites preservation. Including the protection of the riverbed along the fragile coast line represented by the masonry portion of the thermal bath’s foundation which is directly in contact with the water. Being the destiny of the site to be gradually eroded by flooding, digital documentation can play a significant role in documenting the sites changes over time allowing for easy analysis of newly revealed elements. As in the case of the documentation of the viewable openings through the thermal masonry-pipeline during the last surveying campaign this paper will discuss the experimentation of data management through Virtual Hub. Through which past sequences of data can be made accessible to anyone who must operate on the site, and to document the state of affairs of the archaeological complex over the last few years.
