Reconstruction of the “Period eye”!

• Contribution with meaningful images to the Timeline • Virtual reconstruction of specific

Venetian milieu!

Technological challenges

1. To devise new, content-based methods to query large datasets of images and extract information directly based on image search and matching techniques;

A. Van Dyck, Italian sketchbook, c. 6v da Tiziano (Virgin Mary with Child and Saint Dorothea)

J. Reynolds, Italian sketchbook, (from Tiepolo?); Tiepolo, Meeting of Cleopatra and Anthony, 1746-47, affresco, 650 x 300 cm,

Palazzo Labia, Venezia

2. To reconstruct immersive reality environments, in which different layered information sources related to historical, artistic and cultural are exploited to provide varying points of view on specific urban places, and cultural artifacts (period eye) 

Urban Daily Life!
