After successful completion of the course, students are able to:

1. Identify, explain, and contrast the key theories, principles, concepts, and algorithms relevant to the application of Computer Vision in Cultural Heritage.
2. Demonstrate knowledge and understanding aligned with the latest literature and advancements in the field of Computer Vision for Cultural Heritage.
3. Apply appropriate formal-mathematical methods for modeling, abstraction, solution finding, and evaluation.
4. Develop strong problem-formulation and problem-solving skills, enabling them to effectively tackle challenges in this specialized area

The lecture will explore cutting-edge sensor technologies and advanced methods for field recording and data capture, covering the following topics:

• 3D scanning and plotting for Cultural Heritage (CH)
• 3D reconstruction and surface modeling techniques
• Virtual Reality (VR) applications in CH museums
• Project studies and experiences
• Data organization and exchange
• CH project planning
• High-resolution multispectral imaging

Attendees will gain insights into various fields of CH preservation, including historic preservation, documents and archives, sites and monuments, living cultural heritage, and cultural property. Examples of relevant systems include:

• On-Site Reconstruction Experience
• Multimodal Interface for Safe Presentation of Valuable Objects
• Tools for Stratigraphic Data Recording
•  e-Tourism through Cultural Routes
• Archaeological Documentation for the Semantic Web
• Image-based Modeling

These topics and examples will provide a comprehensive overview of the latest advancements and practical applications in preserving and presenting cultural heritage.

The course involves a frontal presentation and an oral examination, complemented by independent problem-solving and scientific discussion of subject-specific examples within the exam context. The course is lecture-based, where the described contents and concepts are thoroughly explained during the lecture sessions.
