RARO-Rock Art RecOrder

Freeware database software for cataloguing rock art figures (Win only, unless using a virtualized OS). After a long period of use limited to the recording and cataloguing of rock carvings in the Alps – particularly in Valcamonica and the Western Alps – the time has come to share the database software specifically designed for rock art. It is fully customisable and therefore suitable for cataloguing rock art from all regions of the world. Among its key features is the automatic generation of figure catalogues – both comprehensive and specific – based on a wide range of filters.

A short outline of a new low cost methodology: we present the AsTrend, a new methodology for enhance and depict details of the 3D models. This technique is being revealed as an accurate method to study rock art carvings and inscriptions. We think that this method could be used by everyone as the main study objects are based in low cost photogrammetry on the acquisition of 3D models.
