How much is it possible to compare continuous entities with discrete entities? Generally speaking, the difference between analog and digital corresponds to the difference between continuous and discrete representations of given entities; a continuous, or analog, representation is, for example, the one provided by the movement of a needle on the dial of an instrument, or by the one who operates on the continuum of matter, while a digital representation is mediated only by numbers. What is digital is different from what is analog, that is not numerable and not representable by a discrete set of elements. The term digital is then referred to discrete mathematics, that works with a discrete set of elements, while analog entities are managed by continuous mathematics, that deals with an infinite (numerable or not) set of elements. In the field of survey, integration between measurement techniques of different nature (direct and indirect instrumentation) results in the use of the numeric common denominator to manage and focus the nature of the collected data. In this scenario, it is necessary to consider the combined action of these techniques in order to have more than a simple collection and summation of data. As an example of this, the survey experience of the “Complesso Monumentale del Verlasce” in Venafro will be described in the following.

Abstract

How much is it possible to compare continuous entities with discrete entities? Generally speaking, the difference between analog and digital corresponds to the difference between continuous and discrete representations of given entities; a continuous, or analog, representation is, for example, the one provided by the movement of a needle on the dial of an instrument, or by the one who operates on the continuum of matter, while a digital representation is mediated only by numbers. What is digital is different from what is analog, that is not numerable and not representable by a discrete set of elements. The term digital is then referred to discrete mathematics, that works with a discrete set of elements, while analog entities are managed by continuous mathematics, that deals with an infinite (numerable or not) set of elements. In the field of survey, integration between measurement techniques of different nature (direct and indirect instrumentation) results in the use of the numeric common denominator to manage and focus the nature of the collected data. In this scenario, it is necessary to consider the combined action of these techniques in order to have more than a simple collection and summation of data. As an example of this, the survey experience of the “Complesso Monumentale del Verlasce” in Venafro will be described in the following.
