High-Resolution TLS and LiDAR Integration for the 3D Mapping of the Villa del Casale Bath Complex

Integration of terrestrial laser scanning (TLS) and LiDAR datasets has enabled the creation of a metrically accurate, high-resolution 3D model of the western bath complex at Villa Romana del Casale, Sicily. This digital surrogate, combining data from 2017 to 2024, supports precise volumetric and spatial analyses, offering new insights into the villa's architectural function, heating systems, and water management. The study highlights the analytical value of multi-sensor, multi-temporal integration, establishing a framework for long-term condition monitoring and conservation planning. It also underscores the potential of 3D documentation as cumulative research infrastructure, moving beyond isolated recording campaigns.
