The Combination of 3D and Multispectral Imaging for Scientific Visualization – Tool for Conservation and Heritage Specialists

Abstract

Information and communication technology applications and the preservation, research and popularization of heritage have attained an important position in the management and studies of cultural heritage. Over the past couple of decades, instrumental studies, imaging and survey technologies have developed very rapidly due to information technology solutions and have become ever more important tools in documentation. Cultural heritage has lot of different aspects and there is often a need of continuous scientific research and preservation to gather valuable information from our history and provide better understanding for future generations. 3D survey and multispectral imaging provides enriched information about heritage objects that may considerably help conservation and heritage specialists especially when it is accessible over the Web.
