TL;DR: This paper presents an intermediate solution, a workflow for virtual tour environments (VT) and informational modeling (IM) and tests this workflow on a case study and compares the time, cost and data management of VT/IM with methods of 3D documentation.

TL;DR: This paper aims at providing a state-of-the-art on this subject, focusing specifically on the cultural heritage area, underlining the technological challenges and also analyzing the effects of avatar interaction on user engagement, sense of immersion and learning effectiveness.

TL;DR: This paper studies the problem of algorithm design for pigment identification based on a hyperspectral image of a painting, and combines various processing steps to achieve a robust solution requiring minimal user intervention.

TL;DR: Multiple surveying methods, data processing of multi-source data and presentation and documentation of the data are not only useful for Chinese classical garden preservation, but also could be applied to other researches of cultural heritage sites that contain various elements and complicated space characteristics.

TL;DR: In this paper, an assessment of geometrical content of 3D models for Heritage Building Information Modelling (hBIM) without reference measurements and independently of the data acquiring method or point cloud resolution is presented.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors provide an overview of the technologies for the removal of rising damp and a state-of-the-art on the results so far obtained by research, both in laboratory and on-site.

TL;DR: The application of the proposed method in two contrasting situations concerning pottery fragments highlights its ease of use, its robustness, and the completeness of the technical and economic assessment, which put together, in a structured way, competences in very different fields.

TL;DR: The integration of AHP, D-S theory and fuzzy theory establishes a mathematical model that targets information fusing and reduces the uncertainty of evaluations, providing a new approach for confirming the level of heritage conservation.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors apply similar methods to investigate looting and destruction at archaeological sites in the Islamic Republic of Afghanistan, where Taliban-related cultural heritage destruction events have also frequently made international headlines.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors present and introductory proposal that addresses the need for vulnerability assessments to aid cultural heritage managers in developing adaptive strategies for climate change impacts to material heritage in Puerto Rico.

TL;DR: In this paper, two lime mortars were treated under laboratory conditions to assess the potential effectiveness of three consolidation treatments performed with: an ethyl silicate, a nanolime and a solution of barium hydroxide.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors propose a model for the selection of investments on historical buildings based on discrete linear programming (DLP) and multicriteria analysis (MICA) with the objective of ensuring the conservation and valorization of building heritage.

TL;DR: In this article, a framework for assessing relative historical significance and use potential of diverse historic buildings listed on the National Register of Historic Places (NPSs) is presented, focusing on the current status of the cultural resource's significance and uses.

TL;DR: An extension is proposed of the standard data model CityGML to overcome limits in the spatial or semantic management of the existing data models, and an example of its application on a portion of a highly detailed 3D model of a mediaeval church is presented.

TL;DR: In this article, the presence of fungal colonies was unexpectedly detected on wooden sculptures and paintings that were deposited inside a custom-built room for a one-year period, and the relevance of air contamination monitoring as a single tool for biodeterioration risk assessment is discussed.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors integrate a life cycle approach within the framework of building conservation principles to help decision makers dealing with "green" maintenance and adaptation interventions of historic buildings, and analyze the impact of interventions in terms of emissions and energy consumptions that should be compensated with on-site renewables.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors define and build a general framework including all impact indicators related to the restoration work processes to apply experimentally, and for the first time, all the sustainability assessment dimensions together within the Cultural Heritage sector.

TL;DR: In this paper, the economic symbiosis between cultural heritage and intellectual property is investigated, and the suitability of the intellectual property system to provide them protection is discussed and a step-by-step guidance for intellectual property management via digitization process is provided.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors define a precise framework for the dynamics characterizing northern Italian historic centers in the medium and long-term, focusing attention on the use of real estate property and the location choices of families, institutions and enterprises.

TL;DR: In this paper, a review of the international standards to measure the moisture content in building materials is presented, where the authors discuss the difference between "moisture content" and "water content", and the various problems met with cultural heritage materials.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors compared the efficacy of UV-C and biocide treatments against microorganisms such as cyanobacteria and algae proliferating in the Vicherey church (Vicherey, Vosges Department, France).

TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated the use of environmental conditioning techniques in a historic building and its impact on the conservation of artworks prior to the refurbishment project, and they concluded that using passive environmental techniques does not completely eliminate the mechanical risk or bio-deterioration that are inherent to movable heritage.

TL;DR: In this article, a hybrid system based on the pulsed laser excitation of Raman, laser-induced fluorescence and laserinduced breakdown spectroscopy signals was used for analysis of heritage stone samples, alabaster, gypsum, limestone and marble.

TL;DR: For instance, this paper found that the most important aspect of 3D prints for museums visitors was that of verisimilitude, visitors dominantly preferring prints that best represented the original specimen, with factors including the robustness of a 3D printed replica and its quality being important to museum visitors.

TL;DR: In this paper, an advanced seismic retrofit solution using innovative carbon fiber reinforced elastomeric isolators is proposed to enhance the seismic response capacities of a masonry church under earthquake loading.

TL;DR: In this paper, a multitemporal analysis from March to October 2014 has been conducted on a test site selected in the Tavoliere delle Puglie region of Italy, and the results revealed new insights on the characteristics archaeological vegetation marks in relation with vegetation types and meteorological conditions.

TL;DR: The aim of this paper was to demonstrate the suitability of GPR for identifying void spaces when run across a rough surfaced wall facade, by providing a comparison of three commonly used antennas to inform equipment choice during survey design.

TL;DR: A mid-air gesture-based Natural User Interface was designed, through the user-centric approach, for the navigation of virtual tours in cultural heritage exhibitions to enhance the user engagement/enjoyment and to make “more” natural/real, the virtual environment.
