About

Marco Callieri is a leading figure in 3D scanning and cultural heritage digitization, with a career dedicated to making high-fidelity 3D acquisition both automatic and accessible. His key research areas include view planning, automatic scanning systems, and the application of 3D technologies to cultural heritage preservation. Callieri’s most notable contribution is the development of RoboScan, an automatic system for unattended 3D scanning that dramatically reduces the need for human intervention in view planning and scanner positioning. This work, published in 2004 and garnering 38 citations, addressed three critical bottlenecks in traditional 3D scanning: selecting optimal range maps, positioning the scanner, and managing the acquisition process. By enabling fast, accurate, and unattended 3D model creation, Callieri’s research has had a lasting impact on both the computer graphics community and cultural heritage practitioners. His work exemplifies how engineering innovation can democratize access to 3D documentation, making it feasible for museums, archaeologists, and conservationists to create detailed digital records of artifacts and sites. Callieri continues to push the boundaries of automatic 3D acquisition, ensuring that the digital preservation of our shared cultural heritage remains both efficient and precise.
