21002094-3 - MATEMATICA - CURVE E SUPERFICI

The goal of the course is to provide students with methods, tools and useful procedures to the knowledge and analysis of historic buildings, their physical characteristics, construction and conservation. Particular attention will be given to learning the methods of integrated survey, using traditional techniques of direct survey coordinated with 3D relief (image based and range based).

Type of delivery of the course

The on-line lessons are given at the beginning on Moodle platform and for the rest of the course on Teams platform. The lessons are given as lectures or laboratory for all students in a on-line mode using the software Mathematica, to elaborate and analyze the mathematical models, and Metashape for the photogrammetric survey and the construction of "Point clouds". In case of an extension of the health emergency from COVID-19, all the provisions that regulate the methods of carrying out the teaching activities and student assessment will be implemented.

Attendance

Students must have attended at least 75% of the classes to be eligible for the exam

Type of evaluation

ORAL EXHAM: presentation of a composition, on a mathematical model of a surface from a 3D architectural example; the model is optimized with respect to its distance from the "Point cloud" of the survey obtained from their own pictures by a photogrammetric software. Before the oral exham a common test will be taken and used as a starting base for the oral part. In case of an extension of the health emergency from COVID-19, all the provisions that regulate the methods of carrying out the teaching activities and student assessment will be implemented.
