Knowledge-based approach for the 3D modeling of masonry structures

In architectural heritage field, the control over metric data is fundamental. Indeed the interpretability of geometrical concepts, the criteria and methods to structure information are the first step for the analysis and simulation for the conservation of ancient buildings. The main barrier is to move from survey raw data to 3D models that are understandable. To overcome this issue a knowledge-based approach is developed to carry out a reverse engineering for digitised masonry structures.
