The Shape and Semantics Modelling Group of CNR-IMATI (an Institute of the Italian National Research Council) is active on several research topics related to shape modelling and retrieval. They include geometric modelling, shape analysis and similarity with applications to Cultural Heritage, Product Modelling, Geographical Data Processing, Fabrication and Medicine. The group is characterized by a unique mix of theoretical, computational and applied expertise in mathematics and computer science. It has an internationally recognized leading role in shape modelling and analysis, and in semantics-based technologies as proven by the scientific results and by the many EU projects and international/national collaborations. In Cultural Heritage and Archaeology the team is applying its specific expertise in the acquisition and reconstruction of surfaces and objects, in the analysis of 3D models, and point clouds and in the similarity evaluation and classification of digital heritage objects.
