Abstract
This paper presents the experiences and outcomes of the EARTH_LAB laboratory at the Free University of Bolzano in the field of digitisation and enhancement of architectural and cultural heritage of South Tyrol. The work focuses on the research projects conducted by the group in the context of heritage education, with particular attention to the Alto Adige region. It describes the workflow used for the digitisation of architectures and the urban environment, including the use of technologies such as 3D laser scanning and photogrammetry. Additionally, it discusses the innovative approaches such as Neural Radiance Fields (NeRF) algorithms for 3D environment reconstruction, emphasizing the potential of this methodologies for generating rapid, cost-effective, and accurate reconstructions.
