From Digital Twin to Memory Twin: A Holistic Framework for Cultural Heritage Documentation, Interpretation, and Adaptive Reuse
Cultural heritage worldwide is increasingly at risk due to climate change, armed conflict, urbanisation, illicit trafficking, and the broader forces of globalisation. These natural and human-induced threats contribute to the irreversible loss of both tangible and intangible cultural assets. In response, heritage digitisation has advanced significantly – from basic 2D documentation to sophisticated 3D technologies […]
Quality Certification in Data Acquisition for Cultural Heritage: The Power of Paradata for High Quality Digital 3D Cultural Heritage Assets
Published in 2022, the European Commission’s study VIGIE 2020/654: Study on Quality in 3D Digitisation of Tangible Cultural Heritage provided a comprehensive overview of the state-of-the-art in Cultural Heritage (CH) digitisation, proposing detailed guidelines toward a standardised framework for evaluating digitisation projects. The Study introduced a key distinction between the Complexity of the data acquisition […]
Advanced digitisation and AI-powered data processing for Cultural Heritage: the HERITALISE Project
The digitisation of cultural heritage assets ensures an accurate digital archive for future generations and serves as a powerful tool for conveying the knowledge and significance of material heritage to the broader public. This contribution presents the overall goals of the HERITALISE project and the foreseen activities, which will combine AI tools for data processing […]
Integrated survey for heritage digitization. The case study of Venaria Reale within HERITALISE project
The documentation and digitization of Cultural Heritage (CH) assets are fundamental for their conservation, monitoring, and longterm accessibility. HERITALISE is a research project aimed at developing a cloud-based, interoperable ecosystem aligned with the European Collaborative Cloud for Cultural Heritage (ECCCH), enabling the structured acquisition, management, and sharing of heterogeneous CH data. The project, currently at […]
