A processing of the digital model will be necessary to isolate some characteristics in order to carry on an analysis of the architectural object. In this poster, the potentialities of the curvature maps, extracted from digital acquisitions, are defined to conduct the study on the morphology of architectural elements. The current work focuses on the technical and theoretical issues that will ultimately result in an average surface signature. This will allow to identify the degree of remoteness of each attribute.I.3.3 [Computer Graphics]Picture/Image GenerationDigitizing and scanningI.3.5 [Computer Graphics]Computational Geometry and Object ModelingCurvesurfacesolidand object representations
