Abstract:
Photogrammetry is a widely used survey technique for creating Digital Replicas, but its application requires some expertise in survey planning and execution that sometimes can represent a challenge, especially for non-expert users. This paper presents GP-NEP, a prototype tool designed to address this task. GP-NEP aims to guide non-expert users through the intricacies of photogrammetric surveying, helping to understand the key factors that influence the quality of the final Digital Replicas. By employing an interactive questionnaire-based approach, GP-NEP assists users in selecting suitable equipment and optimizing the survey process based on the complexity of the object being captured. The tool incorporates a complexity index assessment useful to evaluate the complexity of the object. At the end of the process GP-NEP generates customized reports, providing recommendations and insights. Through a comparative case study, concerning the 3D survey of two marble artifacts from the Roman river port of Seripola, it has been possible to test the effectiveness of GP-NEP.
