This article addresses the general problem of built heritage protection against both deterioration and loss. To continuously monitor and update the structural health status, a crowd-sensing solution based on powerful and automatic deep learning technique ...

Western thought in European history was mainly affected by the image of the world created during the Middle Ages and Renaissance. The most popular reason to travel during the Middle Ages was taking a pilgrimage. Jerusalem, Rome, and Santiago de Compostela ...

The relevance of this article is substantiated by the fact that contemporary theatrical art is on a complex and active path of experimentation, competing with the basic principles of classical theatrical staging. It is therefore necessary to consider in ...

While museums are designed to engage and interest various audiences, teenagers are often a neglected segment. Without digital interactivity, it is challenging for a museum to remain exciting and relevant to a young, tech-savvy audience. Games can benefit ...

Social communication around art and cultural heritage objects occurs mostly on location in the museums and between in-group acquaintances. Such discussions are often brief as competing array of displays and time constraints propel the social arrangement ...

We present in this article an augmented reality system called VISIT designed to deliver content about artworks to visitors. This system aims to simplify the use of augmented reality by allowing (non-computer) users to define content and place it in 3D ...

The existing methods of Facial Expression Recognition (FER) primarily analyze six basic expressions, namely, surprise, happiness, anger, sadness, fear, and disgust. The Indian performing arts use three more well-defined expressions—peaceful, proud, and ...

Iconclass is an iconographic thesaurus, which is widely used in the digital heritage domain to describe subjects depicted in artworks. Each subject is assigned a unique descriptive code, which has a corresponding textual definition. The assignment of ...

Virtual Reality (VR) promises many benefits for the tourism industry. However, a review of tourism-related VR research shows that the roles of system quality and user personality remain largely unexplored. This study examines the causal relation ...

Bilaterally symmetrical objects represent a large and important proportion of archaeological artifacts and biological objects. The identification of the plane of symmetry plays a vital role in quantifying surface asymmetry and producing profile drawings ...

Artworks need to be constantly monitored to check their state of conservation and to quickly spot the eventual presence of alterations or damages. Preventive conservation is the set of practices employed to reach this goal. Unfortunately, this results ...

The surge of Mobile Virtual Reality (VR) applications is getting growing attention among researchers and practitioners. The recent literature demonstrates its benefits when used for education purposes, since virtual immersion yields promising results for ...

Rural areas in Europe represent outstanding examples of Cultural and Natural Heritage (CNH) that could be used as a valuable asset for social and economic development. This article describes the process for developing a monitoring platform based on Key ...

Museums are traditionally considered learning environments and are ordinarily used for non-formal education. Physical museums, while being irreplaceable, are limited to a physical space, requiring mobility and physical presence. In addition, traditional ...

We present a practical solution to create a relightable model from small Multi-light Image Collections (MLICs) acquired using standard acquisition pipelines. The approach targets the difficult but very common situation in which the optical behavior of a ...

Easily accessible characterization techniques such as X-ray fluorescence (XRF), Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR), or Raman spectroscopy, are at this moment the most commonly used analytical tools in heritage and conservation science. ...
