STUDY OF THE HYPOGEUM SITE AND PRODUCTION OF VIRTUAL REALITY Hellenistic Necropolis of Neapolis, Napoli (ITALY)
PDF versione italiana
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
KEYWORDS: Virtual Reality | JRC 3D Reconstructor | 3D Laser Scanner | Photogrammetry | Archeology
«The Hellenistic Necropolis of Naples presents chamber tombs from the Hellenistic period (V-III century BC) characterized by monumental façades dug into the tuff. The site is crossed by the canal bridges of the imposing Augustus aqueduct of Serino» (Carlo Leggieri, Celanapoli).
Since the site is only partially open, there is a project in progress to be able to benefit from the good in a "digital" way through the production of an Immersive Virtual Tour.
The survey has developed for hundreds of meters in depth, acquiring data through laser scanners integrated with the photogrammetric survey of the individual chamber tombs and part of the aqueduct. The site develops from 0 to about -35 meters underground.
The processing of point clouds, generated with different techniques and instruments, was very effective thanks to JRC 3D Reconstructor. The advanced tools for data management and filtering allowed us to perform the first data processing, producing point clouds and 3D models for a deeper and fine study of the Hypogeum site. The further data processing allowed to extract orthophotos, plants and elevations at millimetre precision, as well as to create an immersive virtual reality application.
