Rilievo, modellazione e recupero dei borghi abbandonati, Survey, modelling and recovery of abandoned villages

The current study is part of a wider range of experiments aimed at identifying a suitable and effective process of knowledge, investigation and representation of contexts such as abandoned villages, which are often difficult to use and not recordable by traditional methods due to their relief characteristics. The object of the field trial is Castelpoto (Campania), a partially abandoned Samnite village for which integration of different technologies has been applied in the acquisition of metric and colorimetric data. Data acquisition is by means of active optical sensors, in particular laser scanner (range-based) and digital technologies based on the photograph (image-based), combined with traditional ones. Through the coding of a systematic process, which goes from data acquisition to processing and to their three-dimensional representation, the research finds potential and possible problems of the adopted methodologies, used as application tools in the metric and topological investigation.
