Near-infrared modeling and enhanced visualization, as a novel approach for 3D decay mapping of stone sculptures

Abstract

The authors would like to acknowledge Musei Reali Torino and Ragione Piemonte for the courteous concession of permission to publish the results about the statue from the Fountain of Hercules, and the sculpture of Christ Crucified respectively. Furthermore, the authors would like to acknowledge the contribution of Alessandro Bovero for his useful advice, Marie Claire Canepa coordinator of the Lab for Mural Paintings, Stonework And Architectural Surfaces at Fondazione Centro Conservazione e Restauro dei Beni Culturali 'La Venaria Reale' for facilitating the data acquisition for the statues, and Dr. Stefania De Blasi and Marianna Ferrero at the Dept. of Programming and Development at Fondazione Centro Conservazione e Restauro dei Beni Culturali 'La Venaria Reale' for making possible the publishing of the results produced at the labs of the conservation and restoration center mentioned above, outside of Turin.

[Retracted] Sculpture 3D Modeling Method Based on Image Sequence

“…[9]. Adamopoulos et al [10] proposed that the camera projection transformation is a projective transformation from a three-dimensional space to a two-dimensional plane. It is impossible to obtain its geometric structure from a single image of a space scene.…”

Climate Change Threats to Stone Cultural Heritage: State of the Art of Quantitative Damage Functions and New Challenges for a Sustainable Future

“…Qualitative weathering models based on the morphological evolution or damage indexes were introduced to assess the stone deterioration process [43][44][45]. In recent years, 3D modeling has proved to be an innovative tool for understanding surface morphology [44,46,47], but until now all approaches have been mainly qualitative.…”

“…On-site studies are very limited, and mostly qualitative. Some authors [46,48] proposed a different classification of deterioration patterns observed on monuments in order to perform stone damage diagnosis. Other authors proposed qualitative weathering models based on the morphological evolution during the deterioration process [49] or assessed stone damage using damage indexes [43,45,50].…”
