    Advanced digitisation and AI-powered data processing for Cultural Heritage: the HERITALISE Project
    (The Eurographics Association, 2025) Matrone, Francesca; Chiabrando, Filiberto; Lingua, Andrea Maria; Campana, Stefano; Ferdani, Daniele; Graf, Holger; Guidi, Gabriele; Hegarty, Zackary; Pescarin, Sofia; Remondino, Fabio
    The digitisation of cultural heritage assets ensures an accurate digital archive for future generations and serves as a powerful tool for conveying the knowledge and significance of material heritage to the broader public. This contribution presents the overall goals of the HERITALISE project and the foreseen activities, which will combine AI tools for data processing and metadata and paradata creation. NeRF, 3D Gaussian Splatting and LLMs will be involved in the project with different aims ensuring the advancement of digitisation methodologies and standardisation in the cultural heritage field.

    Digital tools and conservation processes: Tomaso Buzzi's staircase at Palazzo D'Azeglio in Turin
    (The Eurographics Association, 2025) Bonito, Gerardo; Sammartano, Giulia; Novelli, Francesco; Chiabrando, Filiberto; Patrucco, Giacomo; Li, Xinchen; Campana, Stefano; Ferdani, Daniele; Graf, Holger; Guidi, Gabriele; Hegarty, Zackary; Pescarin, Sofia; Remondino, Fabio
    The proposed research refers to the documentation of the grand staircase of Palazzo D'Azeglio in Turin, designed between 1953 and 1957 by the Lombard-born architect Tomaso Buzzi. The awareness of the identity value expressed by Buzzi's work makes its preservation urgent, the first step of which is the knowledge stage for a long-term conservation. The integration of historical sources and direct investigation allows for a more complete description of Buzzi's intervention, highlighting his design choices and relationship with the existing building, so as to guide future restoration work toward more conscious choices. The complexity of the object related to the geometry, the light conditions and materials and surfaces of the decorative apparatus, required an integrated methodology based on 3D metric survey with the use of advanced laser digital technologies. The topographic survey organizes the refence systems and measures a set of point coordinates to co-register and validate the accuracy of the 3D model. The 3D scanning of the space benefits from the combined use of static and mobile scanner, that has been used in the connection between the narrow spaces of the underground environments and the main volume. Through the presented workflow, as a preliminary part of the research and consultancy project, it was thus possible to analyse and describe the geometric, architectural and decorative complexity of the staircase, also in connection with historical phases of the building and archival documents and drawings related to the Buzzi's project, and providing the essential basis for subsequent studies and conservation and enhancement actions.

    Integrated survey for heritage digitisation. The case study of Venaria Reale within HERITALISE project
    (The Eurographics Association, 2025) Martino, Alessio; Tanduo, Beatrice; Borgogno, Edward; Chiabrando, Filiberto; Campana, Stefano; Ferdani, Daniele; Graf, Holger; Guidi, Gabriele; Hegarty, Zackary; Pescarin, Sofia; Remondino, Fabio
    The documentation and digitization of Cultural Heritage (CH) assets are fundamental for their conservation, monitoring, and long-term accessibility. HERITALISE is a research project aimed at developing a cloud-based, interoperable ecosystem aligned with the European Collaborative Cloud for Cultural Heritage (ECCCH), enabling the structured acquisition, management, and sharing of heterogeneous CH data. The project, currently at its earliest stage, applies advanced geomatics techniques - including Terrestrial Laser Scanning (TLS), SLAM-based mobile mapping, and UAV photogrammetry - in a multiscale framework for the 3D digitization of the UNESCO site Reggia di Venaria Reale (Italy). Particular focus is given to the Great Gallery and the St. Uberto Church, where high-resolution metric data are integrated with environmental and microclimatic monitoring, material analyses, and historical documentation to support diagnostics, maintenance, and interpretation. The approach extends to landscape heritage and movable assets, such as the Gardens of Fluid Sculptures and 18th-century wooden furniture, combining 3D documentation, tomography, and digital fabrication. HERITALISE proposes a scientific methodology for bridging traditional and digital CH practices, fostering sustainable and interdisciplinary preservation strategies.

    Representation of Meta-Paradata for H-BIM Models in WebGIS: Paving the Way Towards '3D Scientific Models'
    (The Eurographics Association, 2025) Spreafico, Alessandra; Mehdizadeh, Mohammadreza; Casareto, Erica; Chiabrando, Filiberto; Coletta, Cristina Della; Campana, Stefano; Ferdani, Daniele; Graf, Holger; Guidi, Gabriele; Hegarty, Zackary; Pescarin, Sofia; Remondino, Fabio
    Ensuring authenticity and reliability of 3D models of Cultural Heritage (CH) data is increasingly critical, especially considering the increasing adoption of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in generating content. This paper highlights the importance of metadata and paradata to ensure transparency, authorship, and scientific rigor and considers challenges in creating meta-paradata information and its visualization on the web alongside 3D content. The study explores integrating meta-paradata into WebGIS platforms through tests on document-based Historic-BIM (H-BIM) models from the Turin 1911 project, promoting best practices for accessible, georeferenced, and verifiable '3D scientific models' while preserving CH narratives in virtual 'scrollytelling' environments.
