Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Image-Based Modeling (IBM) for the digital representation of Cultural Heritage (CH) is becoming more and more widespread thanks to its ability to produce accurate 3D Point Clouds (PC) and/or 3D textured models. This Special Issue aims at showcasing the latest advances, trends and best practices of the IBM in order to produce 3D Point Clouds or 3D textured models in a Cultural Heritage environment, taking into account even of the recent technological developments of terrestrial, aerial and satellite platforms. Therefore, research articles addressing the following (not exhaustive) list of topics are invited:
- Image matching algorithms;
- 3D reconstruction in CH environment using images generated by Very High Resolution (VHR) satellite;
- 3D reconstruction in CH environment using images generated by passive sensors mounted on UAV or airborne platform;
- 3D reconstruction in CH environment using images generated by passive sensors in terrestrial survey;
- Integration of 3D datasets generated by different passive sensors or platforms in CH environment;
- Open-source and free algorithms for 3D modeling with application in CH environment.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Heritage is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 1600 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
