[R_Clavijo_SanPrudencio] Intensive Program ERASMUS: TOPCART. Geometric Documentation of the Heritage (report of activities 2010-2011)

[EN] Data contained in this record come from the following accademic activity (from which it is possible to locate additional records related with the Monastery):

La arqueología comercial en España: ¿un sistema sectorial de innovación?

[ES] La publicación de la Ley de Patrimonio Histórico Español en 1985 y el desarrollo de la construcción, especialmente de grandes infraestructuras, en la primera década del siglo XXI han sido los factores desencadenantes de la arqueología comercial en España.

Virtual Reconstruction of the Ancient State of a Ruined Church

Contributed to: 4th International Conference, EuroMed 2012, Limassol, Cyprus, October 29 – November 3, 2012.

Propuesta para acceder a los recursos sobre Patrimonio depositados en el repositorio institucional ADDI de la Universidad del País Vasco (UPV/EHU) mediante un grafo 3D interactivo

[ES] Los repositorios institucionales albergan gran cantidad de información científica generada por las universidades y centros de investigación que está disponible para su descarga y uso de forma libre. Uno de los factores que puede limitar el uso proviene de la dificultad de navegación dentro de las interfaces que proporcionan estos programas de cara a los usuarios; por este motivo, es interesante desarrollar métodos alternativos de búsqueda y navegación por los contenidos que complementen a los existentes, permitiendo así una mayor difusión.

Intensive Program ERASMUS: TOPCART. Geometric Documentation of the Heritage (administrative and academic documentation)

[EN] This academic activity has been the origin of other work that are also located in this repository. The first one is the dataset of information about the geometry of the Monastery recorded during the two years of fieldwork, then some bachelor thesis and papers are listed:

Image-based delineation and classification of built heritage masonry

[EN]Fundación Zain is developing new built heritage assessment protocols. The goal is to objectivize and standardize the analysis and decision process that leads to determining the degree of protection of built heritage in the Basque Country. The ultimate step in this objectivization and standardization effort will be the development of an information and communication technology (ICT) tool for the assessment of built heritage. This paper presents the ground work carried out to make this tool possible: the automatic, image-based delineation of stone masonry. This is a necessary first step in the development of the tool, as the built heritage that will be assessed consists of stone masonry construction, and many of the features analyzed can be characterized according to the geometry and arrangement of the stones. Much of the assessment is carried out through visual inspection. Thus, this process will be automated by applying image processing on digital images of the elements under inspection. The principal contribution of this paper is the automatic delineation the framework proposed. The other contribution is the performance evaluation of this delineation as the input to a classifier for a geometrically characterized feature of a built heritage object. The element chosen to perform this evaluation is the stone arrangement of masonry walls. The validity of the proposed framework is assessed on real images of masonry walls.
