    We introduce a novel methodology for locally updating an existing 3D solid model of a complex monumental structure with the geometric information provided by a 3D mesh (point cloud) extracted from the digital survey of a specific sector of a monument. Solid models are fundamental for engineering analysis and conservation of monumental structures of the cultural heritage. Finite elements analysis (FEA), the most versatile and commonly used tool for the numerical simulation of the static and dynamic response of large structures, requires 3D solids which accurately represent the outside as well as the inside geometry and topology of the domain to be analyzed. However, the structural changes introduced during the lifetime of the monument and the damage caused by anthropogenic and natural factors contribute to producing complex geometrical configurations that may not be generated with the desired accuracy in standard CAD solid modeling software. On the other hand, the development of digital techniques for surveying historical buildings and cultural monuments, such as laser scanning and photogrammetric reconstruction, has made possible the creation of accurate 3D mesh models describing the geometry of those structures for multiple applications in heritage documentation, preservation, and archaeological interpretations. The proposed methodology consists of a series of procedures which utilize image processing, computer vision, and computational geometry algorithms operating on entities defined in the Solid Modeling space and the Mesh space. The operand solid model is defined as the existing solid model to be updated. The 3D mesh model containing new surface information is first aligned to the operand solid model via 3D registration and, subsequently, segmented and converted to a provisional solid model incorporating the features to be added or subtracted. Finally, provisional and operand models are combined and data is transferred through regularized Boolean operations performed in a standard CAD environment. We test the procedure on the Main Platform of the Huaca de la Luna, Trujillo, Peru, one of the most important massive earthen structures of the Moche civilization. Solid models are defined in AutoCAD while 3D meshes are recorded with a Faro Focus laser scanner. The results indicate that the proposed methodology is effective at transferring complex geometrical and topological features from the mesh to the solid modeling space. The methodology preserves, as much as possible, the initial accuracy of meshes on the geometry of the resultant solid model which would be highly difficult and time consuming using manual approaches.Tesi

    En el Per煤, la Leishmaniasis es una enfermedad parasitaria de importancia en salud p煤blica pues afecta a 12 departamentos constituyendo la segunda endemia del tipo tropical [4]. La Leishmaniasis cut谩nea (LC) es un tipo de Leishmaniasis que produce 煤lceras erosivas que crecen en forma progresiva y cuando afectan la cara produce desfiguramiento facial [5]. Debido a la toxicidad de los tratamientos actuales, m茅dicos investigadores est谩n desarrollando nuevos tratamientos en los que se clasifica las lesiones por estadios cl铆nicos de evoluci贸n que depende del an谩lisis de las dimensiones de las lesiones en t茅rminos de 谩rea, volumen, reconstrucci贸n epitelial y otros factores. Estas medidas hasta el momento han sido obtenidas por visi贸n directa, para lo cual no existe un m茅todo estandarizado y adem谩s es susceptible de incluir subjetividad y errores que dependen del criterio y experiencia de cada m茅dico. Por esta raz贸n, es necesario contar con un m茅todo cuantitativo m谩s exacto y preciso que evite tal subjetividad. La presente investigaci贸n desarrolla un conjunto de herramientas computacionales para medir el volumen de heridas de LC y estudiar su evoluci贸n en el tiempo. Para este fin, se utiliza un esc谩ner l谩ser de triangulaci贸n 3D que obtiene un modelo volum茅trico tridimensional de la ulceraci贸n. A partir de este modelo y utilizando t茅cnicas de triangulaci贸n (Delaunay), interpolaci贸n de superficies (c煤bica y Spline) y segmentaci贸n semi-autom谩tica basada en contornos activos, se pueden calcular par谩metros de inter茅s de la lesi贸n estudiada: per铆metro, profundidad, 谩rea y volumen. En este sentido, se logr贸 errores de exactitud menores al 1% en medici贸n de volumen y errores de precisi贸n menores al 4% en mediciones de volumen, 谩rea, per铆metro y profundidad. Se caracteriz贸 al esc谩ner l谩ser utilizado (NextEngine Laser Scanner HD庐) con un error de exactitud de 0.13mm, error de precisi贸n de 11渭m y rango de visi贸n de 130x97mm. As铆 mismo, se elabor贸 un protocolo adecuado de adquisici贸n de datos demostrando que es posible su aplicaci贸n para medici贸n y monitoreo de lesiones de Leishmaniasis cut谩nea. Finalmente se compara la evoluci贸n en el tiempo de estos par谩metros con la evoluci贸n cl铆nica de la lesi贸n. Resultados preliminares sugieren que los par谩metros de volumen y profundidad proveen mayor informaci贸n cl铆nica sobre la evoluci贸n de la lesi贸n.Tesi
