Metric Options: Counts1 Year3 YearSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Article Description
Perspective restitution has rarely been used in researches aiming at the reconstruction of past monuments and urban contexts from old photos, due to the approximation that affected the process of restitution with pens and rulers. Digital drawing tools decidedly reduce the approximation and allow a straight 3D reconstruction of buildings displayed in a single photographic image. The chosen case study is the church of the Stimmate in Palermo, demolished at the end of the 19th century for the construction of the Massimo theater, the lyric theatre of Palermo. The church was decorated with valuable stucco sculptures that were saved from demolition and are now exhibited at the oratory of the Bianchi in Palermo. Three low-quality photos show the stucco sculptures in their original arrangement around two facing niches of the nave, close to the entrance. Perspective restitution and the survey of the sculptures allowed the 3D reconstruction of the niches with the stucco sculptures. Further images and surveys led to the reconstruction of the façade of the church with the annexed monastery and of a nearby city gate that was demolished at the same time.
