iPhotoCult
Intelligent Advanced Photonics Tools for Remote and/or on-site Monitoring of Cultural Heritage Monuments and Artefacts
Description
iPhotoCult has as objective to design, develop and validate innovative and sustainable photonic solutions for the preservation of Cultural Heritage. These solutions, applicable on remote or in situ, include advance diagosis tools and a platform of services on the cloud that allos the precise monitorization of buildings, monuments and artefacts. The projects seeks to provide to heritage professionals non-invasive technologies, integrating artificial intelligence to improve the prediciton of the degradation of patrimonial goods, guaranteeing a more sustainable and efficient preservation, aligning with the values of the New European Bauhaus.
Objectives
- Develop advanced, non-invasive photonic tools for the diagnosis and monitoring of cultural heritage
- Create a cloud-based platform for data management and visualisation, with AI support for predicting the degradation of heritage assets.
- Validate iPhotoCult solutions in real conditions in several pilot sites exposed to different threats.
- Reduce the carbon footprint through the use of sustainable technologies in the conservation of Cultural Heritage.
- Foster technology transfer, dissemination of results and citizen participation to ensure a lasting impact.
Actions
- Development of a UGV (unmanned ground vehicle) tool for inspection of built heritage.
- Collaboration in the WFPD service of the iSSP cloud platform, which supports conservation planning using AI.
- Participation in sample preparation and validation studies together with other project partners.
- Contribution to the development of monitoring and diagnostic tools, especially at pilot sites.
- Collaboration in the assessment of structural defects and risk prediction at heritage sites.
Expected Results
- UGV developed for inspection of complex structures and difficult to access areas.
- Validation of advanced photonic tools in real environments.
- Improvement in the accuracy of deterioration predictions in cultural heritage.
- Optimisation of the use of non-invasive technologies to detect structural damage.
- Increased technology transfer and dissemination of results to ensure long-term impact.
R&D Line
- Development of methodologies for the technical inspection of historic buildings and immovable property.

Cultural Heritage Projects:
RURBANIVE
RURBANIVE will establish a novel rural/urban innovation framework, supported by technical and social innovations to enhance territorial governance and existing policy tools.
RURACTIVE
RURACTIVE encourage a just and sustainable transition of rural areas through intelligent solutions, lead by the community, tailor-made, based on the local and inclusive inside the multi-stakeholder rural innovation ecosystems at 12 pilot areas (Dynamos, Ds).
SRURAL
SRURAL aims to investigate and advance in recognized disruptive technologies (cognitive computing, edge computing and dynamic geo-information), in addition to demonstrate their application in our natural spaces and their extensive cultural heritage (cultural landscapes as a whole), in such a way that causes a real transformation of the territory providing practical ways of proceeding with management
TExTOUR
TExTOUR mobilizes 18 partners, represented in the quintuple social innovation helix (knowledge, business, society, government and entrepeneurs) to co-design, validate and upscale to various levels, policies and strategies with positive impact on the socio-economic territorial development based on cultural tourism.
RURITAGE
RURITAGE enables rural regeneration through cultural and natural heritage (CNH). Has selected 13 rural areas as Role Models, i.e. successful cases regenerated thanks to CNH in 6 Systematic Innovation Areas.
ITEHIS
Inovative and digital technologies to proceed to the technical inspection of historical buildings for public or private use. The methodology proposed is based on the HBIM (Heritage BIM) paradigm
INSITER
INSITER eliminate the gaps in quality and energy-performance between design and realization of energy-efficient buildings based on prefabricated components.
SHCITY
SHCITY addresses the innovative challenge of creating a unique tool to manage historic urban centers and facilitate the work of the competent authorities in decision making. SHCITY will integrate data collected by sensor networks with artificial vision and 3D scanning technologies deployed in the urban area (Ávila), in order to respond to conservation, security, energy efficiency and tourism needs.
RENERPATH-2
The goal of the project called “Energy Refurbishment Methodology for Heritage Buildings” (RENERPATH-2) is to establish a specific European pre-normative, focused on the energy refurbishment of heritage buildings, whether public or private use, in parallel with the newly constructed buildings law.
INFIT
In INFIT, automatic data capture systems have been developed to obtain an accurate and objective image of the tunnel surface.
SITEER
Currently, inspections of road and rail tunnels are carried out manually. CARTIF and Geocisa have studied how to implement technologies that allow inspecting automatically tunnels to achieve its preventive maintenance, developing a system which is able to organize the collected data.
PAVIREX
The PAVIREX project, “New safer pavements in extreme temperature conditions”, was co-financed by the Ministry of Science and Innovation and FEDER Funds, through the INNPACTO 2011 call. The consortium of the project is formed by CARTIF, Grupo Campezo, Euroestudios , Proas (Cepsa), Eiffage, the University of Oviedo and the University of the Basque Country.
RENERPATH
This project, which was developed between 2011 and 2013, established an energy rehabilitation methodology based on novel and non-intrusive techniques for the energy analysis applicable to public and private heritage buildings.
