ARQUEOLÓGICA 2.0 - 8th International Congress on Archaeology, Computer Graphics, Cultural Heritage and Innovation

Permanent URI for this collection

On behalf of the Organisation Committee of the International Congress on Archaeology, Computer Graphics, Cultural Heritage and Innovation ‘ARQUEOLÓGICA 2.0’, it is a pleasure to invite our colleagues from all over the world to come to the 8th Edition of ARQUEOLÓGICA 2.0 in Valencia, Spain, 5th – 7th September 2016. The lemma of the Congress is: ‘Advanced 3D documentation, modelling and reconstruction of cultural heritage objects, monuments and sites’. Researchers, professors, archaeologists, architects, engineers, art historians… from archaeology, computer graphics and geomatics dealing with cultural heritage are invited to share knowledge and experiences in the field of Virtual Archaeology. The participation of well-known researchers and enterprises is very much appreciated. An attractive and interesting schedule is arranged for the participants and visitors.

ARQUEOLÓGICA 2.0 – 2016 is organised by the Spanish Society of Virtual Archaeology (SEAV), the Virtual Archaeology International Network (INNOVA), and the Universitat Politècnica de València in cooperation with CIPA Heritage Documentation.

    APLICACIÓN DE DIVERSAS TÉCNICAS DE DOCUMENTACIÓN PATRIMONIAL ARQUITECTÓNICA EN LA ALQUERÍA 'MAS DEL NOI'
    (Editorial Universitat Politècnica de València, 2016-10-27) Carbonell Rivera, Juan Pedro; Montalvá España, David; Lerma García, José Luis; Departamento de Ingeniería Cartográfica Geodesia y Fotogrametría; Escuela Técnica Superior de Ingeniería Geodésica, Cartográfica y Topográfica; Grupo de Cartografía Geoambiental y Teledetección
    [EN] For the study, documentation and conservation of architectural heritage, it is required to use all the available techniques, classic and new, that may contribute to provide a correct idea about the present condition of the construction, and tackle the possible actions for its appropriate maintenance. This paper describes the usage of a terrestrial laser scanner for the recording and documentation of the ‘Mas del Noi’ at the Campus of Vera, Universitat Politècnica de València. First, classical techniques are used for the graphical recording, sketches and topographic radiation. Afterwards, it is shown the indirect process implemented for the massive 3D data acquisition from laser scanning and photogrammetry, modelling of the point cloud and 3D printing to materialize the final results. The detection of alterations by multispectral and thermal imagery is also included.

    A PILOT PROJECT AERIAL STREET VIEW TOUR AT THE VALLEY OF THE TEMPLES (AGRIGENTO)
    (Editorial Universitat Politècnica de València, 2016-10-27) Bonacini, Elisa
    [EN] The aim of this paper is to offer a preview of the pilot project in progress at the Unesco site Agrigento Valley of the Temples (Italy). Thanks to a partnership with Google Business Photos/Street View Indoor, we managed to map the Temple of Juno Lacinia, the only temple that can be visited online on a 360° tour on a Google platform, browsable inside. Also some POIs will be selected which can be clicked and explored, taking captions in Italian and in English languages with descriptive sheets of architectural and decorative elements, videos and aerial virtual tours realized with drones.

    RECUPERANDO EL PALACIO VISIGODO DE PLA DE NADAL (RIBAROJA DE TÚRIA, VALENCIA)
    (Editorial Universitat Politècnica de València, 2016-10-27) Ribera, Albert; Escriva, Isabel; Macias, Josep; Marin, Jose Julio; Morin, Jorge; Puche, Josep; Rossello, Miquel; Sanchez, Isabel; Santonja, Alfredo; Silvestre, Cristina
    [EN] The palace was a monumental building with two towers on the front, a central courtyard, a ground floor with utilitarian function and a luxury upper floor with an aristocratic and representative character and an extraordinary architectural decoration. The building was used a short time, less than a century, because a great fire caused its collapse and destruction of the building. After a lot of historical, archaeological and architectural dimension studies, there is a new interpretation of the palatine building. For the 3-D modelling of the palace, we use a data collection with a laser-scanner, and the plans from the excavation and the architectural modulation previously elaborated. The conclusions of the multidisciplinary work from the reconstruction have been used extensively in archaeological publications and, especially in the didactic information for the new Visigoth Museum and other touristic activities. There's also a 3-D printed model of the reconstruction.

    PIXEL-LEVEL IMAGE FUSION FOR ARCHAEOLOGICAL INTERPRETATIVE MAPPING
    (Editorial Universitat Politècnica de València, 2016-10-27) Verhoeven, Geert; Nowak, Milena; Nowak, Rebecca
    [EN] This article reports on the current capabilities and future developments of TAIFU, a MATLAB Toolbox for Archaeological Image FUsion. After introducing the need for archaeological image fusion and the benefits it can bring for the interpretation of archaeological image data, the paper briefly explains some of the major fusion methods that are embedded in TAIFU. Afterwards, additional functionality such as metadata tracking and various pre- and post-processing steps are detailed. The paper concludes with a short roadmap of future TAIFU developments.

    EDETA 360º: VIRTUAL TOUR FOR VISITING THE HERITAGE OF LLÍRIA (SPAIN)
    (Editorial Universitat Politècnica de València, 2016-10-27) Maícas Prats, José Miguel; Viñals Blasco, Mª José; Departamento de Ingeniería Cartográfica Geodesia y Fotogrametría; Escuela Técnica Superior de Arquitectura; Centro de Investigación en Arquitectura, Patrimonio y Gestion para el desarrollo Sostenible
    [EN] Virtual enhancement of cultural heritage by using 360º panorama photography technologies have become well established as a mean of digitally recording heritage sites for conservation, education and tourism purposes. This paper describes the work undertaken to create an interactive virtual tour based on panorama photos of the town of Llíria and its surroundings, called “Edeta 360º”. This application aims to allow the general public to learn about the heritage of Llíria and to appreciate, disseminate and share it, while at the same time engaging users in a real experience of the town. Methodologically, this work has been addressed following an easy procedure with off-the-shelf equipment and using both freely available software (Hugin 2014.0.0) and Easypano Tourweaver 7.90®, while ensuring the quality of the final product.
