Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We invite you to submit original contributions on the topic of building information modelling (BIM), digital twins and 3D web exploration for the management, enjoyment and conservation of cultural heritage.
The use of BIM processes in heritage contexts remains a challenge due to the complexity and variety of historic architectural languages/methods which must be digitally reproduced in parametric objects. Recent topics in this field have included the scan-to-BIM, machine learning and deep learning methodologies that will help to automatically recognize architectural elements from the variety of remotely sensed data. The proliferation of Internet of Things (IoT) applications opens up new possibilities for the development of cultural heritage digital twins to monitor real-time data acquisitions and subject them to analysis for management and conservation purposes. 3D web exploration solutions are becoming even more essential for the management, dissemination and enjoyment of cultural heritage.
This Special issue aims to collect high-quality papers dealing with various issues related to the application and the integration of computer science and innovative geomatics methodologies for cultural heritage using BIM and/or digital twining processes. In exploring these methodologies, articles should focus on open-source solutions, 3D data optimization, and web-based frameworks. Case studies in virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR) solutions for cultural heritage will also be considered for inclusion.

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
