Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Three-dimensional (3D) datasets acquired by different sensors and by integrating the outputs allow the production of 3D models. Furthermore, through the use of multi-sensors, it is possible to describe three-dimensionally architectural elements of different complexity as well as in any historical urban context. The integration and processing of the different datasets acquired allows to describe the asset under investigation not only through its geometric features, but also by depicting its semantic characteristics. The model thus obtained will represent a suitable tool for Cultural Heritage (CH) conservation and management policies.
This research also focuses on the possibility of testing new 3D acquisition sensors and new processes, tools and processing algorithms. The final output will allow, through the production of models like H-BIM, H-FEM, Digital Twin, City Model, etc., and through the management on appropriate data and Big Data platforms, operation in a multi-scale and multi-temporal mode, allowing the stakeholders that work in CH to make use of the information acquired and shared.
This Special Issue aims to analyse the possible uses of three-dimensional (3D) datasets for the elaboration of digital models in order to reproduce, with adequate accuracy, existing cultural heritage. Starting from a survey carried out with active or passive sensors or integrating different acquisition techniques, topics may range from Scan to H-BIM and Scan to FEM approaches for the management and analysis of CH assets, to the realisation of Digital Twin at the building and urban scale for the valorisation of existing architecture.
Articles may cover, but are not limited to, the following topics:
- Scan to BIM;
- Scan to FEM;
- 3D Modelling;
- Digital Twin;
- Historical mapping at urban scales;
- G.I.S. and 3D City Model;
- Rapid mapping;
- Active and/or passive sensors;
- Multi-sensor geospatial analyses.

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. Remote Sensing is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly 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 2700 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.
