Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Knowledge, preservation, and valorization of heritage sites and contents are becoming increasingly important for a sustainable future of culture, tourism, and identities. Geomatics and ICT technologies, particularly Artificial Intelligence (AI), have demonstrated their efficacy and added value in the field of Cultural Heritage for activities such as 3D recording, modeling, digital conservation, remote access, virtual accessibility, and visualization. Furthermore, recent advancements in building information modeling (HBIM) enable the integration and simulation of several sources of information, resulting in the creation of a digital twin of any complicated historical landmark.
The Special Issue's goal is to collect contemporary research activities, experimental work, new advances, reviews, and/or case studies relating to 3D recording, modeling, digital preservation, and visualization of cultural heritage at various scales (artifact, monument, site). The Special Issue was inspired by the 9th International ISPRS/CIPA workshop "3D-ARCH 2022" (http://3d-arch.org/). Contributions may be made on any of the following themes, but are not restricted to them:
- 3D documentation in cultural heritage (photogrammetry, laser scanning, mobile/handheld
- solutions, procedural methods)
- 3D modelling from reality-based data
- Data and sensor fusion for cultural heritage needs (integration, registration, algorithms)
- Point cloud processing and classification (filtering, segmentation, annotation)
- Heritage Building Information Modelling (HBIM)
- Virtual, Augmented and Mixed Reality (VR/AR/MR) for cultural heritage applications
- Accuracy assessment in cultural heritage projects

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.
Benefits of Publishing in a Special Issue
- Ease of navigation: Grouping papers by topic helps scholars navigate broad scope journals more efficiently.
- Greater discoverability: Special Issues support the reach and impact of scientific research. Articles in Special Issues are more discoverable and cited more frequently.
- Expansion of research network: Special Issues facilitate connections among authors, fostering scientific collaborations.
- External promotion: Articles in Special Issues are often promoted through the journal's social media, increasing their visibility.
- e-Book format: Special Issues with more than 10 articles can be published as dedicated e-books, ensuring wide and rapid dissemination.
