PRESENTATION
This book deals with the recording, modeling and visualization of Cultural Heritage (anthropogenic objects and natural scenes) and various related processes. The book topics include: data acquisition with a variety of sensors (mainly optical sensors and loser scanners), platforms and
mobile systems; data management and spatial Information Systems; 3D modeling and
reconstruction; visualization and animation; Virtual and Augmented Reality; innovative soft-
ware and hardware systems; applications and interdisciplinary projects. A central focus is the
development of methods for automated data processing. The aims of the Workshop, which was
the background to this book, were to summarize recent developments, trends, and new
approaches and to bring together the various heterogeneous groups active in Cultural Heritage
(sponsors, archaeologists and architects, scientists in remote sensing, photogrammetry, computer vision and computer graphics etc.). The involvement of these groups, representing both
producers and users of information, allowed a cross-fertilisation und a multidisciplinary
treatment of the Workshop topics.
This book offers a comprehensive selection of high-quality contributions from leading international research institutions and other organisations active in Cultural Heritage, treating theoretical issues as well as projects and applications and representing the state-of-the-ort on this subject. These contributions were presented at a Workshop organised by the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology (ETH) Zurich at Monte Verità, Ascona, Switzerland on 22-21 May 2005.
