HWITHIN AT SCIENCE WEEK 2021

New Technologies for Historical Heritage: Virtualization of the Carmo Convent

New technologies developed in recent years allow the virtual reconstruction of the historical buildings and landmarks, improving the user experience and interaction with Cultural Heritage. However, techniques such as photogrammetry and laser scanning only document the outer surfaces of the elements.

For this reason, the HWITHIN project aims to obtain a complete 3D reconstruction of the monuments, combining information from techniques such as photogrammetry, Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) and ultrasonic acoustic tomography, which cross this barrier to document and accurately reconstruct the interior of the constructive elements.

The conference will discuss the application of these techniques in the Carmo convent in Lisbon, as well as the description of the process of creating the virtual model of the original state of the Convent prior to the earthquake that destroyed it in 1775.
