RFSAT activities include:

• Development and implementation of the advanced 3D scanning and modelling algorithms, suitable for the specific needs of the cultural heritage protection applications, including visual, infrared and xRF scanning, combined with semantic feature extraction and reconstruction.
• 3D reconstruction and modeling of scanned pieces of art, offering the ability to dynamically identify and track temporal changes to both surface and internal material structure of the materials.
• Multi-sensory data acquisition, storage and information management.
• Distributed and cloud deployments aimed at possible improvement of service RAMS (Reliability, Availability, Maintainability, Safe-ty) and the resilience of the overall data management sub-system.
• Security related activities will also strengthen cyber-security of data stored and exchanged.

The 3D Gallery software includes results from such research projects of RFSAT as:

Open Access Datasets:

• Collection of 3D models of various Cultural Heritage objects produced during evaluation process of diverse 3D photogrammetric algorithms. Those include objects, such as flat Byzantine icons and paintings, as well as Venetian Carnival Masks with complicated shapes. Due to large sizes of original models, only simplified and low-resolution versions are provided here. HIgher-resolution ones are available on request.
