The fortification system of Famagusta has been a challenging subject for researchers and scientists dealing with its historical background, architectural features, conservation, and its possible revitalization. Very few preservation initiatives have been realised up to and including the present day, with the exception perhaps of a recent study conducted by the UNDP Partnership for the Future Pr...

Ensuring color fidelity in image-based 3D modeling of heritage scenarios is nowadays still an open research matter. Image colors are important during the data processing as they affect algorithm outcomes, therefore their correct treatment, reduction and enhancement is fundamental. In this contribution, we present an automated solution developed to improve the radiometric quality of an image dat...

Despite the GIS (Geographic Information Systems/Geospatial Information Systems) have been provided with several applications to manage the two-dimensional geometric information and arrange the topological relations among different spatial primitives, most of these systems have limited capabilities to manage the three-dimensional space. Other tools, such as CAD systems, have already achieved a f...

This paper deals with 3D modeling of complex architectural elements for virtual 3D scene reconstruction based on images or point clouds. It presents a new method at the opposite of classical photogrammetry and lasergrammetry techniques: parametric components are created and then adapted to the measured data. We have conceived and developed a parametric shape generator tool for virtual 3D recons...

Abstract Architectural heritage is vulnerable to disasters. Digital technologies can fight destruction and ensure integrity by monitoring, managing protecting architectural from In this paper, we clarify the relationship between disasters, digitalization conservation for sustainability of cultural heritage. This study used PRISMA process, bibliometric tools VOSviewer Citespace explore potential...

Recording, mapping, 3D modeling and visualization for structures of architectural significance and objects of importance to cultural heritage have been received attention for digital archives or VR museum. With this motive, the authors have been developing an efficient modeling system for recreating historical city. However, reliable descriptions of ancient landscape are currently requested fro...

The old city of Xanthi (ThraceeGreece) is one of the biggest traditional settlements in Greece which has the specialty to exhibit mixed traditional Greek, European and Oriental architectural features. This paper presents a 3D reconstruction of a small part of the settlement. It deals with the idea of using open source systems in 3D graphics in order to produce realistic virtual walkthroughs for...

In view of the contradiction between urban construction and protection architectural heritage, this paper analyzes hidden dangers wind fire heritage from perspective environment impact high-rise buildings. The simulation based on computational fluid dynamics are used to study typical building cases in Guangzhou. indicators that affect comfort, safety development explained, so as form a strategy...

Among the variety and diversity of pigeon houses, Multi-Tier Pigeon Houses (MTPHs) are distinguished from the functional and aesthetic point of view and are considered as a specific local architectural sights of Lenjanat. However, few studies have been conducted to study this type of pigeon house and these constructs have remained unknown. In this study we have conducted library and field studi...
