Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Cultural, social and economic territorial development is strictly connected with Cultural Heritage. Italy has the world's most extensive cultural heritage: museums, churches, archaeological areas and historical houses.
As Known, Cultural heritage represents the community’s history and identity, highlighting its traditions, art and culture, preserving its memories, customs and legacy. Moreover, It can be used as a pedagogical tool to teach the history, culture and traditions of a community, and is often a tourist attraction, generating income and economic development for local communities. It is also a source of wealth for future generations and must therefore be preserved for their legacy. In summary, cultural heritage is an important part of our common heritage and a fundamental factor in understanding the history and identity of a community. Its preservation and enhancement are crucial to preserve our past and promoting intercultural understanding.
In this regard, it is essential that cultural heritage is properly and fully detected, monitored and properly disseminated. To this end, the use of modern survey methodologies, innovative monitoring techniques and high-performance systems dissemination requires ever-wider interdisciplinary contributions.
Innovative systems for survey, monitoring and enhancing cultural heritage require the use of various and different advanced technologies, that allow greater accessibility, greater understanding and direct involvement of the public, even helping to identify dangers to the public and implement measures to preserve it.
On the other hand, the enhancement of cultural heritage includes activities such as tourism promotion, the creation of thematic routes, the production of publications and the organization of cultural events. These activities help to raise awareness and promote cultural heritage, making it more accessible and meaningful for the community, also using apps and different information technologies.
We are pleased to invite and encourage you to submit your contributions.
This Special Issue aims to collect original research articles and reviews on innovative research dedicated to methodologies, applications and case studies on cultural heritage management and preservation and on surveying/monitoring/valorization/enhancement interventions.
In this Special Issue, original research articles and reviews are welcome. Research areas may include (but are not limited to) the following:
- Photogrammetry and laser scanning methodologies for 3D modeling;
- Low-cost technologies for 3D data acquisition of assets;
- 3D modeling and machine learning for HBIM;
- 3D modeling for GIS-HBIM Integration/application
- GIS for managing and exploiting large-scale 3D data;
- Automatic or semi-automatic segmentation and classification for 3D models;
- 3D modeling monuments for structural or other FEM analysis;
- Remote Sensing Advanced techniques for CH Data Acquisition
- VR, AR, MR applications, Game 3D modeling, storytelling and other computer graphics applications;
- We look forward to receiving your contributions.
