    ArchAIDE - Archaeological Automatic Interpretation and Documentation of cEramics
    (The Eurographics Association, 2016) Gualandi, Maria Letizia; Scopigno, Roberto; Wolf, Lior; Richards, Julian; Garrigos, Jaume Buxeda i; Heinzelmann, Michael; Hervas, Miguel Angel; Vila, Llorenc; Zallocco, Massimo; Chiara Eva Catalano and Livio De Luca
    The goals of H2020 project "ArchAIDE: are to support the classification and interpretation work of archaeologists with innovative computer-based tools, able to provide the user with features for the semi-automatic description and matching of potsherds over the huge existing ceramic catalogues. Pottery classification is of fundamental importance for the comprehension and dating of the archaeological contexts, and for understanding production, trade flows and social interactions, but it requires complex skills and it is a very time consuming activity, both for researchers and professionals. The aim of ArchAIDE is to support the work of archaeologists, in order to meet real user needs and generate economic benefits, reducing time and costs. This would create societal benefits from cultural heritage, improving access, re-use and exploitation of the digital cultural heritage in a sustainable way. These objectives will be achieved through the development of: - an as-automatic-as-possible procedure to transform the paper catalogues in a digital description, to be used as a data pool for search and retrieval process; - a tool (mainly designed for mobile devices) that will support archaeologists in recognizing and classifying potsherds during excavation and post-excavation analysis, through an easy-to-use interface and efficient algorithms for characterisation, search and retrieval of the visual/geometrical correspondences; - an automatic procedure to derive a complete potsherds identity card by transforming the data collected into a formatted electronic document, printable or visual; - a web-based real-time data visualisation to improve access to archaeological heritage and generate new understanding; - an open archive to allow the archival and re-use of archaeological data, transforming them into common heritage and permitting economic sustainability. Those tools will be tested and assessed on real-cases scenarios, paving the way to future exploitation.

    Experience Etruria: a Cross-media Platform for E-culture and Tourism
    (The Eurographics Association, 2016) Guidazzoli, Antonella; Bellavia, Giovanni; Luca, Daniele De; Liguori, Maria Chiara; Castiello, Lorenzo; Pirotti, Alessandro; Chiara Eva Catalano and Livio De Luca
    Experience Etruria aims at promoting the Italian Latium, Tuscany and Umbria regions starting from their common Etruscan roots, their landscape and food and wine wonders. The project includes a web portal, a downloadable and printable map with 4 sensory routes, related to local food and Etruscan sites and museums, and an emotional video. The video merges Computer Graphics and real-life shootings, joining a trend that is spreading among the educational productions.
