Prof. Giorgio Paolo Maria Vassena
Born in Monza in 1964, he graduated with full marks in Civil Engineering (Milan Polytechnic) in 1989. On 16.04.1993 he obtained a PhD in Geodetic and Topographical Sciences with a thesis entitled: ‘Control of deformations and displacements in large structures’. He has carried out research in the various fields of surveying. In the field of architecture, he has worked on various fronts of three-dimensional surveying. He has carried out research, for example, on St Mark’s Basilica in Venice and at the Chapel of Santa Maria in Solario at the Museum of Santa Giulia in Brescia. From three-dimensional surveying with classical techniques, he moved on to laser scanning surveying by applying these technologies at historical buildings (Sala dei Giganti at Palazzo Te, Mantua). In the field of laser scanning, in agreement with the Joint Research Centre in Ispra, he has studied the methods for the survey-representation of 3D models of historic city centres surveyed with laser scanners. It activated Italy’s first test network of GPS satellite positioning services. He has performed topographic/static surveys of the Tower of Pisa, the Basilica of San Marco (Venice), the Stadiums Olimpico (Rome), Meazza (Milan) and the Alps in Turin, and at the Baptistery of Cremona and the Basilica of San Carlo al Corso (Rome). He was President of the Central Scientific Committee of the Italian Alpine Club and carried out international scientific expeditions. He has established a framework agreement on this subject with the Joint Research Centre in Ispra, where the Reconstructor software is developed. He is chairman of Gexcel srl, the first joint venture company of the University of Brescia.
Dott. Arch. Luca Perfetti
Born in Rho (MI) on December 10th, 1991. Master degree in Architecture in July 2016, with a thesis entitled: “Photogrammetry for architecture: fish-eye lens for the surveying of narrow places. Test and trials on Milan’s Cathedral.” From October 2016, apprentice in 3D Survey Group, he is collaborating on the survey and restitution of the indoors of Milan’s Cathedral. From November 2017, he became a Ph.D. Candidate in Architecture, Built Environment and Construction Engineering, winning the thematic scholarship entitled: “Image-based techniques for the 3D survey of complex environments in archaeology and cultural heritage. Development of low cost sensors for the automatic survey of indoor environments.”
Ing. Alessandro Fellin
Born in Trento (TN) on May 16th, 1990. In 2019 he graduated in Environmental Engineering with a thesis entitled: “Three-dimensional models from images of textureless smooth surfaces in low light conditions”. He obtained his professional licence in 2020 and has been working as an engineer ever since, specialising in the field of topography and drone surveying. As a great outdoor enthusiast, he holds the title, certified by AINEVA, of nivological observer. For several years he has been collaborating with the glaciological commission of the Trentino section of the Italian Alpine Club, for which he occasionally carries out topographical survey work to monitor the retreat of glaciers.
