Digital replica of the Tomb of Reliefs at Cerveteri

Survey and creation of a digital replica of the interior of the Tomb of Reliefs located in the Banditaccia Necropolis in Cerveteri (RM). It is the only Etruscan tomb (4th BC) decorated with stucco reliefs, unusual compared to the usual frescoes. The dataset, because of its high resolution and accuracy, is a useful tool for study, restoration planning and enhancement of an environment normally closed to the public for conservation reasons. The dataset was acquired with active (Faro laser scanner) and passive (full-frame SLR) sensors through a spherical photogrammetry campaign. The data were reprocessed by combining Structure from Motion techniques to obtain a photogrammetric solution and Computer Graphic for colour correction (with digital painting tools) and geometry and texture optimization. The data mainly concern the 3D domain, have been reprocessed primarily with open source software and are stored in open formats: photogrammetric solution in utf-8 txt files, point clouds in binary ply, polygon meshes with mapping coordinates in blend format, images in jpeg format. The working group consists of researchers from CNR-ISPC: Enzo d'Annibale, Emanuel Demetrescu, Daniele Ferdani.
