International and National Projects

here there is a list of the national and international projects in which I'm or I have been involved.

PSTL Study of an Ontology-based Underwater Cutting System - Parco Scientifico e Tecnologico della Liguria

[2007-08] The project is related to the study of innovative methods for the optimization of the existing underwater cutting systems using ad-hoc process ontologies

SHALOM Sviluppo di tecHniche e metodi innovAtivi per l'anaLisi e la sintesi di fOrme geoMetriche - FIRB project

[2005-08] The objective of the project is to study innovative methods for the analysis and the synthesis of digital geometric shapes. The group contributes on multi-resolution representations of geometric shapes, on geometrical invariant feature extraction (topological features), and on the definition of multi-resolution topological models.

AIM@SHAPE European NoE on Advanced and Innovative Models And Tools for the development of Semantic-based systems for Handling, Acquiring and Processing knowledge Embedded in multidimensional digital objects

[2004-07] The Mission of AIM@SHAPE is to foster the development of new methodologies for modelling and processing the knowledge related to digital shapes. This knowledge is concerned with the geometry (the spatial extent of the object), the structure (object features and part-whole decomposition), attributes (colours, textures), semantics (meaning, purpose), and has interaction with time (morphing, animation).

MIUR-PRIN project on Multiresolution modeling

[2007] The project is related to the study and implementation of Multi-resolution modeling techniques for scalar fields and digital shapes

ARROV Augmented Reality for Remotely Operated Vehicles based on 3D acoustical and optical sensors for underwater inspection and survey

[2000-03] ARROV is financed from the European Community within the Fifth Framework Programe, specific research and technological development programme "Competitive and Sustainable Growth". The project aims at improving the applicability and performance of multifunctional Remotely Operated Vehicles (ROV) for the inspection, monitoring and survey of underwater environments and manmade installations. The goal of the project will be achieved by developing a novel integrated sensorial system, which will exploit both optical and acoustical data to provide the ROV pilot with an augmented representation of the scene (augmented reality).
