The architectural space in an inclusive protocol for the 3D integrated acquisition of Cultural Heritage for documentation, diagnosis, representation, enhancement and conservation

One of the main current challenges in the creation, management and use of digital models of cultural heritage concerns the dual need for high-quality 3D representations at an affordable cost, easily accessible and reusable. This is one of the main topic launched also by the European Commission within the program Horizon 2020 and in particular in the Societal Challenge Work Programme: to contribute to a deeper awareness and understanding of European cultural heritage as inspiration for addressing contemporary challenges, increasing the knowledge of heritage and its different identities. To meet this purpose, new technologies and digitization processes play a key role since they allow new and enhanced interpretations of our collective cultural heritage. In this framework, the ongoing EU funded project INCEPTION – Inclusive Cultural Heritage in Europe through 3D semantic modelling proposes a workflow aimed at the achievements of efficient 3D digitization methods, post-processing tools for an enriched semantic modelling, web-based solutions and applications to ensure a wide access to experts and non-experts.
