Multi-Sensor Data Acquisition and Integration Processes for the Study and Documentation of the Church of Santa Maria Degli Angeli in Pizzofalcone in Naples

Abstract

Abstract. The paper presents the results of a research carried out on the Church of Santa Maria degli Angeli in Pizzofalcone in Naples, in which multi-sensor surveys have been performed in order to assess the architectonical, geometrical and colorimetric characteristics of the majestic basilica. The use of integrated technologies made it possible to realize 3D digital models that allowed the complete representation of the building, integrating data and filling the gaps of the different previous surveys. The performances of the various reality-based technologies employed have been subjected to critical analysis in order to maximize their potential, optimize survey and data elaboration phases, and obtain the expected results. These latter have been defined through the derived digital re-elaborations and representations. Hence, the objective of the research is to carry out a comparative analysis on the 3D models generated through the different active and passive sensors employed in order to proceed with their integration and achieve an accurate, original and updated methodology of building survey.

From 3d Survey to Digital Reality of a Complex Architecture: A Digital Workflow for Cultural Heritage Promotion

“…This combined approach, involving several tools, is necessary to overcome the challenges associated with the complex geometry of historic buildings such as the Gallery in question. By integrating them into a single visualization, it is possible to overcome the limitations of each technique and a complete capture of the structure achieved (Calisi et al, 2023, Ozimek et al, 2021, Perfetti et al, 2023, Pulcrano et al, 2021. The Potree-based platform has proven to be an effective tool for digitizing CH.…”

Cloud-to-Bim-to-Vr: An Operative Approach for the Construction of Interactive and Information Models for the Cultural Heritage

“…The field of investigation within which the research moves, if on one hand it is based on consolidated procedures for recording and manipulating the different and heterogeneous information that describe an architectural artifact (di Luggo et al, 2019;López et al, 2018;Previtali and Banfi, 2018;Pulcrano et al, 2021), on the other hand it experiments the interrelation modalities of the same in a single system of use designed to facilitate sharing. This last aspect, in particular, provides interesting research ideas where the objectives that drive the experimentation are focused on the construction of digital realities that tell the real one through interactive and computerized simulations.…”
