A Proposal for Proactive Quality Assurance in Photogrammetry Workflows: Using Smart-device LiDAR for Scaling
(The Eurographics Association, 2025) Hegarty, Zackary; Saari, Michael; Campana, Stefano; Ferdani, Daniele; Graf, Holger; Guidi, Gabriele; Hegarty, Zackary; Pescarin, Sofia; Remondino, Fabio
This preliminary project report proposes a low-cost quality assurance step for digital documentation workflows using consumer-grade LiDAR on mobile smart devices. We explore if LiDAR-generated meshes can be used to scale photogrammetry models post hoc, addressing scaling errors caused by human input. Preliminary tests on replica cultural heritage objects show scaling accuracy within 3.5% of photogrammetric reference models, with minimal local deviation. The method is fast, relatively low-cost, and requires almost no specialized training, making it a practical fallback in constrained field conditions. While not a replacement for traditional methods, it has the capacity to improve the reliability of digitization workflows with minimal overhead.

In recent years, digital technologies-particularly 3D visual reconstruction-have become essential tools for interpreting ancient buildings and artefacts that are lost, never built, or partially preserved. Widely adopted in research, education, cultural dissemination, and media, these technologies still lack standardized methodologies and terminology. Addressing this gap, the Erasmus Plus project CoVHer (Computer-based Visualization of Architectural Cultural Heritage, 2022-2025) brought together seven partners from five European countries to establish shared guidelines, a glossary, an open-access 3D repository, and a dedicated MOOC. This panel promotes interdisciplinary discussion on the conceptual, methodological, and epistemological challenges of virtual hypothetical reconstructions. Topics include classification of digital modelling methods, representation of uncertainty, scientific transparency vs. visual conventions, and the development of a shared vocabulary for heritage reconstruction practices. The aim is to advance informed, validated, and reusable digital models that support education, communication, and cultural heritage management.

This ongoing project addresses to create a virtual exhibition of the University of Bologna's ''Collezioni di Antropologia''. Due to the challenges in managing the collection and the high preservation risks, the aim is to create a new virtual, appealing and communicative collection setup. The virtual tour will be divided into three significant blocks representing the different sections of the exposed collections in the museum: paleoanthropology and prehistory, skeletal biology, and the origin of biological anthropology in Italy. Selected representative elements of the collection will be digitized using 3D structured light scanners, post-processed and optimized for online enjoyment. Finally, a virtual exhibition space will be modeled to display these elements and help provide a proper understanding of the collections and their virtual exhibition. The online experience, enriched with accessible information and interactive tools, would provide a new and appealing key to increasing public engagement, bringing scientific knowledge to wider audiences, and fostering a deeper public understanding of human history.
Enhancing South Slavic Cyrillic Manuscripts Research through a Digital Toolkit for Cyrillic Palaeography

This paper presents an innovative digital tool designed to support the analysis of medieval Cyrillic handwriting within a codicological and palaeographical framework. The Cyrillic Palaeography Toolkit (CyPaT), developed from a standardised descriptive model and integrated with the Repertorium of South Slavonic Manuscripts and Copyists (X-XIV cc.), offers a comprehensive environment for the description, processing, and comparative study of manuscript data. By enabling direct interaction with digitised images, CyPaT allows for detailed examination of script features such as letter proportions, stroke composition, and layout. As a free and open-source resource, it promotes collaborative research and the systematic identification of script features linked to specific periods, scriptoria, or individual scribes, particularly within the South Slavic Cyrillic tradition, marking a significant step forward in the development of Digital Slavic Palaeography as an emerging field of scholarly inquiry.
Photography as an Image of the Intangible and Social Identity
(The Eurographics Association, 2025) Lozano, Daniela; Zúniga-Solórzano, Marcos E.; Campana, Stefano; Ferdani, Daniele; Graf, Holger; Guidi, Gabriele; Hegarty, Zackary; Pescarin, Sofia; Remondino, Fabio
This article explores how photography can transcend its traditional function as a mere visual record, becoming a tool to explore, reflect on, and transform reality from an aesthetic, social, and cultural perspective. Through various photographic projects, it analyzes how artistic practice in photography goes beyond objective documentation, focusing on the interaction between the visual, the subjective, and the symbolic. The research is based on the analysis of the author's works and those of other artists who have addressed similar themes. A qualitative approach is used, employing the Delphi method and focus groups to gather opinions and feedback. This work underscores photography's ability to interpret the intangible aspects of memory and local identity. Additionally, it proposes the development of innovative projects that harness immersive technologies within the realm of cultural photography.

Inventing and Re-Inventing the Perception of Color
(The Eurographics Association, 2025) Clay, Arthur; Campana, Stefano; Ferdani, Daniele; Graf, Holger; Guidi, Gabriele; Hegarty, Zackary; Pescarin, Sofia; Remondino, Fabio
Developed within the PERCEIVE project, the Color Science Demonstrators exemplify a research-driven approach to rethinking how color is perceived, interpreted, and communicated through contemporary technologies. These artistic-technical prototypes translate complex scientific concepts and historical research into immersive, accessible experiences. Designed to engage both expert and public audiences, they serve as critical tools for exploring the intersection of digital innovation and cultural heritage. Each demonstrator corresponds to one of the five core scenarios in the PERCEIVE project- polychrome sculpture, painting, textiles, historical photography, and born-digital art-and reflects a distinct dimension of the project's inquiry, ranging from restoration science and digital heritage to immersive design and reinterpretation of historical narratives. Together, they transform abstract theoretical investigations into tangible, experiential formats. Each of the Color Science Demonstrators embodies a specific scenario from the PERCEIVE project, transforming scholarly inquiry into immersive experience. The Autochrome Demonstrator, addressing historical photography, visualizes early color processes through layered physical components and AI-generated reconstructions, raising questions about authenticity and restoration. The SCREAM Demonstrator, linked to painting, translates color diNerences in versions of Munch's The Scream into a topographic surface animated by light and sound, evoking an emotional and spatial reading of color. The VR CHROMA installation, tied to the born-digital art scenario, oNers a virtual exploration of the Chroma Tower and augmented artworks, positioning color as both symbolic and architectural within a navigable digital landscape. Lastly, the Gabinetto Segreto Demonstrator, referencing polychrome sculpture, abstracts the historical Roman cabinet into a compact illuminated form that channels the sensuality and mythology of antiquity through light-based projection and reinterpretation. By addressing distinct material and conceptual challenges in color conservation and representation, the Color Science Demonstrators not only showcase the technological and theoretical advances of the PERCEIVE project but also invite deeper public reflection on how color functions as both a perceptual phenomenon and a bearer of cultural meaning. Whether by evoking emotion, reconstructing historical processes, or imagining future interactions with digital art, these demonstrators challenge traditional modes of museum engagement and point toward new, inclusive models of cultural experience. They propose a forward-thinking approach to color-at once scientific, artistic, and profoundly human.
AI and New Digital Education
(The Eurographics Association, 2025) Lacriola, Michele; Campana, Stefano; Ferdani, Daniele; Graf, Holger; Guidi, Gabriele; Hegarty, Zackary; Pescarin, Sofia; Remondino, Fabio
The impact of artificial intelligence (AI) on society and research cannot be underestimated.We urgently needs to address this transformation with a strategic and long-term perspective, also involving historical sciences. From a historical standpoint, artificial intelligence raises three main issues: the use of AI to support research, the reliability of the information generated, and the digital literacy that must be imparted to students. Specifically, it is expected that historical research and student activities will increasingly rely on AI tools, despite current limitations in distinguishing automatically generated content. This challenges us to reverse the problem: how can historians, especially at the academic level, effectively leverage AI and pass these skills on to students? The central challenge lies in learning to speka the language of AI content production, known as prompt engineering. This discipline involves formulating optimized inputs for AI models to obtain more relevant and accurate responses, thereby increasing productivity in historical research without compromising the quality of critical analysis. The goal is not to create a technological tool but to design an innovative approach that enables historians to fully exploit AI's potential while maintaining the centrality of source criticism and methodological rigor. Through advanced application of prompt engineering, historians can improve research, interpretation, and communication processes, addressing some of the traditional challenges associated with historical source analysis. The new methodology aims to equip historians with conceptual tools to manage and analyze large amounts of data, evaluate sources more effectively, and narrate history in a more dynamic and accessible way. Moreover, the integration of AI in teaching will open new opportunities to make learning more interactive and personalized, stimulating students' critical thinking and enhancing their historical understanding. This interdisciplinary approach, combining humanities and computer engineering, will prepare future historians for an increasingly digital research landscape.
Architectural Surveying, from Point Cloud to CAD/BIM: Towards Automation of Data Processing for Large-Scale Projects
(The Eurographics Association, 2025) Muyle, Carla; Schenkel, Arnaud; Campana, Stefano; Ferdani, Daniele; Graf, Holger; Guidi, Gabriele; Hegarty, Zackary; Pescarin, Sofia; Remondino, Fabio
As part of a project to digitize the infrastructure of the Université Libre de Bruxelles, a semi-automated digital acquisition methodology was developed to create a 3D inventory of the buildings on the Solbosch Campus. The objective is to build an up-to-date graphical database to facilitate the daily maintenance of the sites and support future renovation projects. A systematic workflow was therefore established: one that is both tailored to the constraints, challenges, and goals specific to each building, and that incorporates automated data processing methods to ensure efficiency, consistency, and scientific accuracy throughout the acquisition process. The ultimate aim is to produce coherent datasets that are aligned with one another, streamlining procedures for projects of similar nature and scale. The long-term value of this approach lies in the potential to fully automate certain stages of the workflow, thereby improving efficiency while maintaining high standards of data accuracy.
