Call for papersHistoric
monuments and heritage sites across the world are important sources of
knowledge, depicting the evolution of mankind. These are not only
irreplaceable assets that signify the culture and civilization of the
past, but also masterpieces of accomplishments that symbolize the human
potential. It is for this reason that globally many organizations have
taken up the initiative to safeguard and preserve the heritage sites.
Over the centuries, the heritage sites have witnessed a number of
natural calamities and sabotage, resulting in their present ruined
condition. Access to many such heritage sites is restricted, fearing
the risk of further damage by visitors. One may think of physically
renovating the heritage sites in order to preserve them. However, the
renovation may not only pose danger to the undamaged monuments, but may
also fail to mimic the skilful work of history. It would be interesting
to have a heritage site reconstructed digitally, since such a process
avoids physical contact to the monuments. The digitally reconstructed
heritage site may then provide an unrestricted access for viewing the
monuments in their entirety. Also, in today's world, preservation of
the digitally reconstructed monuments would be inexpensive. Limited
metadata is available when using images for describing the resources
and contents. In addition, the information needs and tasks of
cultural heritage users are often complex and diverse. Moreover,
historical social information including architecture, music, languages,
dances, customs etc. open newer horizons for research in the area of
cultural heritage.
The 3rd ACCV Workshop on e-Heritage, will be held on Nov 2, 2014 at the Stephen Riady Centre on the National University of Singapore campus. The workshop will provide a platform for researchers to share their expertise in the area of digital heritage and applications. Submissions are expected in the areas including, but not limited to,
