3D SURVEYING, SEMANTIC ENRICHMENT AND VIRTUAL ACCESS OF LARGE CULTURAL HERITAGE

In recent years, Artificial Intelligence (AI) methods for 3D point cloud classification has assumed an essential role in the heritage field. The association of semantic information to 3D representations became a valuable instrument for measurement, analysis, education or maintenance, in particular in the Cultural Heritage (CH) sector. Moreover, the recent availability and reliability of head-mounted displays and glasses are allowing extraordinary immersive virtual experiences. This video presents an end-to-end framework to handle large and complex 3D point clouds, from acquisition to semantic segmentation and final access in a Mixed Reality (MR) environment. Mixed Reality experiences are described and shown based on the Microsoft HoloLens 2 device.

Part of the research was funded by the project “Artificial Intelligence for Cultural Heritage” (AI4CH - https://ai4ch.fbk.eu/), a joint Italy–Israel lab which was funded by the Italian Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation (MAECI).

The activities related to the Milan Cathedral result from Simone Teruggi's PhD thesis and the research activities of 3DSurvey Group (ABClab) within the agreement between Politecnico di Milano and Veneranda Fabbrica del Duomo.  We thank those who have contributed and are now collaborating to the Milan Cathedral.  A special thanks to Ing. Francesco Canali, yard director of “Veneranda Fabbrica del Duomo di Milano
