The characterisation of the materials in artwork is crucial for understanding and preserving cultural heritage for future generations. Knowledge of ancient and modern manufacturing processes, materials and skills is gained through the analysis and measurement of details and features that can reveal valuable information about the creation of a heritage item. The integration of advanced non-invasive techniques and 3D digitalisation methods can be an effective way to explore and acquire such knowledge. The workshop aims to investigate the connection between cultural heritage active or passive 3D acquisition techniques for the characterisation and digitisation of small- to medium-sized works of art. In particular, 3D surveying techniques are applied to acquire object shape and appearance, while spectroscopic methods are used for materials characterisation. Contributions addressing either or both of these topics, as well as their integrated use, are welcome.
Prospective authors are encouraged to submit previously unpublished contributions from a broad range of topics, which include but are not limited to the following:
› Small-to-medium object
› Ancient and modern materials
› Multi-hyper spectral imaging
› Spectroscopic techniques
› 3D methods
› Data elaboration and enhancement
› 3D scanning, photogrammetry, gaussian splatting
› Scalability in 3D approaches
› AI algorithms for data analysis, segmentation and processing
› Quality assessment
