Wall-facing Automatic images identification Laboratory

Acronym: W.A.L.(L)

Description

The project is aimed at the application of quantitative analysis methods to ancient architecture, that is at the use of Machine Learning processes which, starting from three-dimensional photogrammetric models, allow the extraction of significant features for the archaeologist, from the point from the point of view of construction techniques and behaviours, of the social groups involved in the construction and of history. A dedicated database, associated with a 3D viewer will allow data querying.

The sample masonry structures used to set up the methodology and tools of the Project consist of walls dating from the Late Minoan IIIC to the Geometric period (10th-8th century BC) in Crete.
