Full Description
Cultural Heritage Analysis for New Generations takes cultural heritage digitization to a new level by exploring digital datasets for deeper analysis and interpretation in order to develop methodologies for the assessment of changes in cultural heritage objects by comparing and combining digital datasets captured at different time periods.
Cultural heritage objects have been constantly undergoing changes/degradation over time. In order to pass the legacy of these objects to future generations, it is important to monitor, estimate and understand these changes as accurately as possible. Over the years, cultural heritage digitization using scientific imaging techniques has become more widespread and has created a massive amount of datasets of different forms in 2D and 3D. This volume focuses on the processing and analysis of these datasets to make the greatest use of them, and their potential for insights in monitoring 'changes' in cultural heritage artifacts for conservation purposes. To do so, the volume takes an interdisciplinary approach combining expertise on imaging techniques, computing, CH, and conservation science.
Cultural Heritage Analysis for New Generations offers an invaluable new approach to the digitization of cultural heritage that serves not only the needs of conservation professionals, but also develops an interdisciplinary approach to which computer and imaging scientists are critical.
