Optimization processes of polygonal models for management in web-based information systems

This paper is part of the scientific debate concerning the definition of protocols for the structuring of digital models, rendering examples of the architectural heritage, within webbased fruition and query platforms. In particular, the research presents the codification of a methodological proposal together with the description of the various operations, carried out on an exemplary case study. The described processes deal with the phases of capturing the geometric and colorimetric information of the case study through reality-based survey techniques and analyse the subsequent structuring of digital replication carried out by automatic decimation algorithms, retopologization processes and texture baking. The aim of the study is to provide a possible protocol, in line with the approaches described in literature and widely validated, to be applied in heritage digitization projects and construction of online platforms for the analysis and optimized management of digital twins.
