Administrators and security experts face a variety of evolving threats that are hard to anticipate. To secure a government building against multiple threats while maintaining a minimal level of transparency and accessibility requires an integral security approach. It demands interdisciplinary collaboration between different experts from different domains. Currently, there is no efficient method or tool that allows the experts of different stripes to efficiently design, evaluate and implement appropriate security concepts. Existing ones do not allow for the effective creation, analysis, assessment, and sharing of security concepts that will help government administrators provide a secure environment for personnel and citizens.The VASCO project addresses two important objectives. First, it will design, implement and evaluate an innovative IT tool that will enable security professionals and administrators to jointly formulate, test, and adjust security concepts and measures in a virtual environment. This provides a cost-effective and risk- free environment in which to devise an evidence-based, all-risk approach for the protection of government buildings. Second, it will produce a knowledge and best practice database, which captures dynamic and visual reference scenarios created with the VASCO system. To accomplish these aims, the project will adopt an iterative methodology that enables the constant involvement of its world-class security and crisis management experts, assisted by a solid and open user group, during the whole project. It makes use of the latest advances in interactive visualisation, simulation, crisis management, and artificial intelligence to provide end-users with an unprecedented tool that dramatically improves the way in which they collaborate to secure critical government assets both at home and abroad.

INDIGO will enable: (a) the 3D interactive and realistic visualisation of the complete crisis environment, including data coming from the field, simulation results, and building interiors; (b) the creation and simulation of different evolving scenarios for planning, training, and anticipating future states and impending developments during operations, and analyse events after the crisis; (c) the simultaneous training of decision makers, crisis managers as well as first responders that will be influenced by the simulated scenario and that will reciprocally influence its evolution; (d) the involvement of multiple participants, thanks to its distributed architecture, while offering a unique pictorial way of sharing and communicating complex knowledge across organisation boundaries.  In addition, INDIGO will propose a European emergency symbology reference for 2D\/3D maps. This will fill an important gap by offering a common visual reference that can be used across Europe to facilitate the immediate understanding of the situation, thus improving decision making across organisational boundaries. The definition of the functional specifications of the system will be driven by the analysis of the needs of real end-users participating in the project as partners or involved in the User Group. These organisations will test and validate the outcomes of the project with real-world scenarios. By the end of the project a packaged system integrating all the proposed technologies will have been developed and provided to them under two versions for purpose of validation and refinement of needs and specifications.  CRS4, together with ISTI-CNR, will concentrate on extending such a framework with the possibility of handling two particularly important data types: extremely massive point clouds, and geo-referenced (three-dimensionalized) photographs. These two particular datatypes are of particular importance to the security domain, since they can be acquired very rapidly and provide both measurable and visually recognizable description of a site. On the server side, the focus will be on the efficient handling of extremely massive data, on the incorporation of raw data (e.g., from LIDAR acquisitions), and on the efficient compressed streaming. Moreover, a combined (hybrid) solution using both 3D points and images will be researched.","post_title":"INDIGO","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"indigo","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2026-04-02 12:37:21","post_modified_gmt":"2026-04-02 10:37:21","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.crs4.it\/projects\/indigo\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"projects","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":19687,"post_author":"4","post_date":"2025-07-03 18:23:48","post_date_gmt":"2025-07-03 16:23:48","post_content":"The \"Soprintendenza ai Beni Archologici delle Province di Cagliari e Oristano\" and CRS4 commit to a long term scientific and technological research plan on the 3D digitization of the Mont'e Prama statues, aimed at studying and applying innovative methodologies for multiresolution storage, distribution and display.

In the COHERENT project, six leading European organisations provide complementary competencies to create a new networked holographic audio-visual platform to support real-time collaborative 3D interaction between geographically distributed teams. The display component will be based on innovative holographic techniques that can present, at natural human interaction scale, realistic animated 3D images to an unlimited number of freely moving simultaneous viewers. The design of the basic networked audiovisual components will be driven by two innovative demanding applications - a collaborative medical visualisation system and a collaborative design review system for the automotive industry - that will constitute by themselves an advancement of the state of the art in their specific domains. Both applications will provide intuitive access and interaction with shared 3D models through a sensory rich 3D user interface based on non-intrusive wireless interaction devices and offering 3D audio cues. Research will strongly concentrate on enabling technology for intuitive multi user access and interaction with complex 3D signals and objects. This project proposes to build a working high-resolution display in the one metre size range that, thanks to its human scale work area, will be ideally suited for multi-user collaborative working in true 3D. The challenge of providing the large visualisation data flow needed to drive such a device will be met using a cost-effective parallel solution based on commercial-off-the-shelf graphics and computing technology. Using GEANT, the pan-European Gigabit Research Network, the project will conduct distributed testing and validation of the system concepts for the two representative application scenarios. The research will be conducted in a 30-month schedule, to guarantee evaluation and demonstration of tangible results. Rapidly evolving advances in networked audiovisual communication technology are facilitating the emergence of computer-supported collaborative work (CSCW) systems. These systems are striving to seamlessly support collaboration between geographically distant teams for the purpose of achieving higher levels of participation, productivity, and creativity. They therefore address a major societal and economic challenge. Since visualisation is one of the most natural and intuitive ways to exchange information between humans, it has become the principal medium used in co-operative and multi-user situations. At the present time, however, state of the art collaborative real-time audiovisual systems typically rely on essentially 2D environments (traditional flat screens) to share information. For many professional applications, however, the main goal is to share the physical 3D object of common interest. These applications typically include clinical discussions among teams of medical specialists, multi-disciplinary scientific debate, design reviews between OEM's and suppliers using computer aided design (CAD), where the objects may be anatomical, molecular and product models respectively. Since these are almost exclusively very complex 3D objects, providing collaborative environments able to process, transmit and display 3D data in ways that match human perceptual abilities is therefore of primary importance and would represent a significant technology breakthrough. However, at present the only computer displays able to provide all the depth cues processed by the human brain to reconstruct a three-dimensional scene are unfortunately limited to single user configurations. Quite ironically, these limitations have led to networked solutions that facilitate remote collaboration only at the expense of the isolation of each participant from their local physical environment. In the COHERENT project, six leading European organisations in their respective fields provide complementary competencies to create a new networked holographic audio-visual platform striving to seamlessly support real-time collaborative 3D interaction between geographically distributed teams. The display component will be based on innovative holographic techniques that can present, at natural human interaction scale, realistic animated 3D images to an unlimited number of freely moving simultaneous viewers. The design of the basic networked audiovisual components will be driven by two innovative demanding applications - a collaborative medical visualisation system and a collaborative design review system for the automotive industry - that will constitute by themselves an advancement of the state of the art in their specific domains. Both applications will provide intuitive access and interaction with shared 3D models through a sensory rich 3D user interface based on non-intrusive wireless interaction and offering 3D audio cues. Research will strongly concentrate on enabling technology for intuitive multi user access and interaction with complex 3D signals and objects. The technical feasibility of the proposed holographic display solution has been recently demonstrated with the development of a ''small scale'' proof-of-concept, using white light based, 24 bit true colour, holographic 3D display. This project proposes to build on this earlier success to produce a working high-resolution display in the one metre size range that, thanks to its human scale work area, will be ideally suited for multi-user collaborative working in true 3D. The challenge of providing the large visualisation data flow needed to drive such a device will be met using a cost-effective parallel solution based on commercial-off-the-shelf graphics and computing technology. The driving applications have been chosen in two important sectors where collaborative 3D technology and networked audiovisual communication have a clear potential impact and provide a sizeable market for the future exploitation of the project results. Moreover, the need for distant teams to work together for a collaborative goal is becoming increasingly common in many industrial and social situations. Therefore, the best practice and methods opened-up by this project will have implications in other application domains. In particular, they will concern high potential, industry-driven domains such as next generation 3D-TV, electronic cinema, virtual and tele-presence and future mixed-reality-based communication services. The consortium has centred the project workplan around continuous and detailed end-user involvement in the research, development, evaluation, and validation activities. The end-users will also play an instrumental role in reaching their larger community as part of the dissemination and exploitation strategy. The research will be conducted against an ambitious, but achievable, 30-month schedule, to guarantee early delivery, evaluation, and demonstration of tangible results.","post_title":"COHERENT","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"coherent","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2026-04-02 12:38:46","post_modified_gmt":"2026-04-02 10:38:46","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.crs4.it\/projects\/coherent\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"projects","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":19749,"post_author":"4","post_date":"2025-07-03 18:25:54","post_date_gmt":"2025-07-03 16:25:54","post_content":"The CRIMSON project aims to research, develop and validate an innovative system using the Virtual Reality technologies for the inter-organisational preparation, rehearsal and management of security missions in response to urban crisis.

Recent benchmarks indicate that the BDAM technique outperforms state-of-the-art techniques based on hierarchies of right triangles, currently regarded as the most efficient for continuous level-of-detail rendering.","post_title":"VPLANET","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"vplanet","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2026-04-02 12:39:05","post_modified_gmt":"2026-04-02 10:39:05","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.crs4.it\/projects\/vplanet\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"projects","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":19714,"post_author":"4","post_date":"2025-07-03 18:24:35","post_date_gmt":"2025-07-03 16:24:35","post_content":"The objective of this research and training network is to increase the development of technologies and knowledge around virtual representations of human body for interactive medical applications.

Through the centralised, interoperable, and human-based platform of EXCALIBUR, toolkits of usable, open-source, and cost-affordable solutions will be available for the wide spectrum of cultural heritage. The DNA of EXCALIBUR consists of the real user needs, as archaeologists, bioanthropologists, museologists, conservators, historians, researchers, and scholars co-define the requirements and their needs, co-design the toolkits, test, evaluate, and validate the tools through representative case studies and an open call for support to third parties, and finally using, the innovative and enhanced solutions of the project through the ECCCH. In addition, a multidisciplinary group of experts and sciences from European research, academia, and creative entrepreneurship join their forces, sharing their knowledge, designing and developing through cutting-edge technologies, and delivering breath-taking, but at the same time usable, cost-affordable, and sustainable solutions for enhanced study, improved conservation and restoration works, and knowledge of cultural heritage. The holistic framework and the innovative solutions of the EXCALIBUR project will be designed and developed according to the guidelines of the ECCCH infrastructure and services, as well as with close collaboration with the ECCCH ecosystem. Training, open call, communication, dissemination, and exploitation activities are included.\nCRS4 will focus on the research and development of advanced scalable solutions for the digital acquisition of detailed visual and\/or geometric surface characteristics using Multi-Light Image Collections (MLICs) methodologies, e.g., including but not restricted to Reflectance Transformation Imaging. CRS4 will leverage its expertise in this field to create an innovative flexible and scalable framework for capturing free-form MLIC data, characterised by enhanced accuracy, reliability and versatility and usable for mass-production of digital representations of CH assets. The practical outcome will consist in (a) a protocol for quickly acquiring detailed surface representations using a single camera and freely moving lights; (b) intelligent methods and tools for automatically characterising viewing and illumination conditions, without needing specialised setups and\/or calibration targets such as glossy spheres or radiometric targets; and (c) intelligent methods and tools for creating reliable surface representations with minimum user intervention.","post_title":"EXCALIBUR","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"excalibur","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2026-04-02 12:31:53","post_modified_gmt":"2026-04-02 10:31:53","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.crs4.it\/projects\/excalibur\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"projects","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"}]},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v25.9 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Fabio Marton - CRS4<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.crs4.it\/en\/people\/fabio-marton\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Fabio Marton - CRS4\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Fabio Marton is a researcher in the Visual Computing (ViC) group at the Center for Advanced Studies, Research, and Development in Sardinia (CRS4).
