applied in this work, allows researchers to derive statistical
values to evaluate the quality of the data processing. Moreover,
the use of oblique photos can improve the accuracy and quality
of the processing pipeline and allows the geometric 3D
modeling of historical buildings. The change detection analysis
employed in this paper has provided intriguing results, e.g.
indicating that the city of Rovereto is now almost 25 times
larger (in 2005) than 60 years ago. Notably, the grasslands and
forests surrounding both Rovereto and Trento remain intact
despite rapid urbanization. Additionally, the change detection
also indicates large-scale construction and expansion along the
Adige River and main communication lines. These findings
raise many questions about governmental policies, land use, and
broader cultural changes that can serve as a springboard for
researchers in many disciplines such as urban planning, history,
and geography.
ACKNOWLEDGMENTS
The work was funded by Fondazione CARITRO (Trento, Italy)
within the project MEM3D. The authors are really thankful to
the Autonomous Province of Trento (Italy) for the WWII image
data as well as to Dr C. Furlanello and Dr S. Merler (MPBA-
FBK Trento, Italy) for the useful discussions regarding the
historical images over the Trentino region.
