BRANCACCI CHAPEL IN FLORENCE: SURVEYING AND REAL-TIME 3D SIMULATION FOR CONSERVATION AND COMMUNICATION PURPOSES

Abstract. In 2020 to diagnose and monitor the condition of frescoes in Brancacci Chapel Florence, CNR initiated an important diagnostic three-dimensional survey monument. These restoration preparatory activities have provided opportunity data for creation a real-time 3D simulation model that will not only help conservators art historians better understand manage artwork, but also enable planning improvement measures communication fresco cycle its state preservation public via POV application. is hybrid multi-user experience allows group tourists visit chapel under guidance expert, either on-site or off-site. The Web3D application based on ATON, framework developed by ISPC integrates monument discovery invisible layers (e.g., ultraviolet data) processed optimised rendering. article illustrates all steps performed from implementation obtain achieve expected interactive result. particular, we focus optimization workflow reality-based this case study processing high-resolution maps (visible layers) web interaction.
