Download - ROVINA: Robots for Exploration, Digital Preservation and Visualization of Archeological Sites
Vittorio Amos Ziparo
Robots for Exploration, Digital Preservation, and Visualization
of Archeological Sites
Motivation Exploration, Monitoring and Documentation
State of the Art Expensive, Time Consuming and Dangerous
Case Studies Catacombs of Rome and Naples
● Huge and rich
● High humidity (98%)
● Radon hazard
Goal A better survey and monitoring tool
● Faster: perform surveys in much less time
● Better: bigger, more accurate and richer models
● Safer: no danger for human operators
RobotMobile base, Sensors, Cooling and Power Systems
Point Cloud ReconstructionOcular Robotics RE05 Lidar
The model skeletonCloud registration and global consistency
Adding texturesReconstruction from pictures
ExampleARC-3D reconstruction of Mogao Cave
Learning semantics Better renderings, navigation and classification
● Learn shape and materials
● Learn traversability
● Automated classification of
● objects
● areas
Mobility is a major challenge!large 3D Maze on rough terrain
Navigation Mobility in harsh environments
● 3D navigation system
● probabilistic,
● semantic and
● information-theoretic
Mission Control InterfaceMulti-Modal mode
Mission Control InterfaceSupervisory and dialog modes
Cloud-based archiveTime machine and virtual archeological site
1. General Public: high fidelity 3D interactive experience
2. Historians: semantically rich digital archive
3. Engineers: advanced measurement and diagnosis tool
