Adequate monitoring of artistic heritage guarantees undoubted economic advantages, including the reduction of restoration costs over time and insurance costs. A well-maintained heritage also increases the number of visitors, facilitating the sustenance of the institution itself. The project will develop advanced models for monitoring and conservative documentation of works of art through high-resolution 3D scanning and the application of artificial intelligence algorithms for the automatic recognition of degradation. In particular, the algorithms will take care of finding the differences between two scans of the same object and identifying the anomaly according to a recognized technical classification. These technologies, individually available on the market but not integrated and optimized, would allow an efficient, low-cost and extremely effective monitoring process. The system would not replace the use of experts for an assessment of the damage and any restoration activities, but would allow the execution of large-scale campaigns in an extremely short time, suggesting to restorers which works to concentrate their attention on.          Contacts: Maurizio Rea maurizio.rea@wiredenterprise.eu
