Summary
Research comparing digital tools for studying Cartagena de Indias' Antonelli defense system reveals that mobile laser scanning with SLAM technology provides the most efficient and reliable method for documenting fortifications. The study, conducted by the Lab DAda-LAB at the University of Pavia, analyzed the perimeter walls and Fort San Felipe de Barajas, demonstrating the effectiveness of this approach for rapid survey activities. Additionally, a detailed comparison of different data acquisition technologies on the Baluarte of Santa Catalina walls confirmed the reliability of 3D databases generated by these methods. The findings contribute to the development of analysis protocols for heritage enhancement and protection, offering insights into the construction technologies of Cartagena's historic fortifications.
