ABSTRACT

Geomatic techniques for Cultural Heritage surveying and mapping are increasingly changing the methods of data acquisition and management.
The Geomatics approach currently supporting the integration of different range-based and image-based methods - in connection with different sensors - requires a careful implementation, founded on a scientific rigorous base, and the management of the most advanced technologies.
3D recording, monitoring, representation, information management must satisfy metric requirements and data quality assessment, at any scale to which they are applied from the single object to its geographical context.


TOPICS

This Special Session aims to promote the interplay between the researchers of the scientific community by presenting and discussing experiences and research contributions on the following topics:

  • Geomatic integrated techniques for Cultural Heritage 3D recording;
  • Instrumental calibration for 3D data acquisition;
  • Data fusion for advanced remote sensed techniques;
  • Development of sensors and special devices for surveying and monitoring;
  • Medium and long-term monitoring and safety assessment of buildings and structures;
  • Quality evaluation and standards in recording and documentation;
  • Multi-resolution geospatial data management in Cultural Heritage;
  • Historical BIM technology and point clouds based 3D modeling and GIS interface;
  • Geomatic integrated techniques for evaluating and controlling the damage and the decay of the Cultural Heritage.
