15th EUROGRAPHICS Workshop on Graphics and Cultural Heritage
Graz, Austria, September 27-29, 2017
https://gch17.tugraz.at/
Full Paper Deadline: ** May 12, 2017 ** (extended)
Upon multiple author request, and due to a culmination of bank holidays leading up to the original deadline, the GCH full paper submission deadline is extended from May 5 to May 12. Please note, however, that there will be no further extensions possible. Also, this deadline extension does not affect the deadline for short papers.
The 15th EUROGRAPHICS Workshop on Graphics and Cultural Heritage (GCH 2017) aims to foster an international dialogue between ICT experts and CH scientists to advance the understanding of critical requirements for processing, managing, and delivering cultural information to a broad audience. The objective of the workshop is to introduce and showcase new techniques and applications for supporting Cultural Heritage information ranging from data acquisition, analysis and synthesis, 3D documentation, and data management, to new forms of interactive presentation and 3D printing solutions. Interdisciplinary approaches for analysis, classification and interpretation of cultural artefacts are particularly relevant to the event. GCH 2017 provides a scientific forum to exchange novel ideas and techniques in research, education and dissemination of Cultural Heritage information, to transfer them into practice, and identify future research and application opportunities. To advance the dialogue between ICT and CH experts, GCH 2017 will be held in close cooperation with the Museumsakademie of the Universalmuseum Joanneum in Graz, providing opportunity for exchange between the domains.
We seek original, innovative and previously unpublished contributions in the computer graphics area applied to digital cultural heritage, challenging the state of the art solutions and leveraging new ideas for future developments. Equally, original contributions in the cultural heritage field of relevance to computer graphics are welcome. Specific workshop sessions will be devoted to reports on applications, experiences and projects in this domain. Contributions are solicited (but not limited to) in the following areas:
• 2/3/4D data acquisition and processing in Cultural Heritage
• Multispectral imaging and data fusion
• Digital acquisition, representation and communication of intangible heritage
• Material acquisition analysis
• Heterogeneous data collection, integration and management
• 3D printing of cultural assets
• Shape analysis and interpretation
• Similarity search of digital artefacts
• Visualization and Virtual Museums including storytelling and design of heritage communications
• Multi-modal and interactive environments and applications for Cultural Heritage
• Spatial and mobile augmentation of physical collections with digital presentations
• Semantic-aware representation of digital artefacts (metadata, classification schemes, annotation)
• Digital libraries, archiving and long-term preservation of 3D documents
• Standards and documentation
• Serious games in Cultural Heritage
• Organizational aspects of cooperation between ICT and CH experts for project development
• Best practices for deployment of novel ICT solution in the CH domain, including budgeting and maintenance
• User demand and reception of ICT solutions in CH institutions
In cooperation with the Museumsakademie Joanneum, GCH is also planning for a half-day tutorial program, addressing practices and challenges in the important areas of acquisition and presentation of CH content.
