A parametric model to manage archaeological data

The paper focuses on the work carried
out in the insula 4-6 of Paestum (Italy), in the
framework of a collaboration between the
Archaeological Park of Paestum and the University of
Naples “L’Orientale”; the contribution shows the
“drone to BIM” solution applied for the study of the
insula and the related methodological approach. The
combination of the digital survey with the parametric
reconstruction of the structures, which characterizes
the so-called ABIM (Archaeological Building
Information Modelling), provides a complete
information system useful for different purposes,
from documentation to interpretation and
management. To systematize the incomplete archive
documentation of the insula and to integrate the dwg
file supplied by the Park, an aerial digital survey has
been carried out to provide a detailed map of all the
structures still visible on the area. The threedimensional
information, derived from the UAV,
constitutes the basis for the construction of the BIM
model.
