This research sets the objective to create an Heritage Information System (HIS) to access, in simple way, to different types of documentation related to the cultural heritage (cards, images, drawings, 3D models and so on) by a database catalogued according to the standard criteria (national and international). This task has to satisfy many demands: to localize the object in the geographical con...

This paper describes how we could combine the two most available systems for the purpose of surveying and documenting the architectural heritage, historical buildings and monuments. The two systems are digital photogrammetry (applied in a close-range context) and CAD. The product of this integration is a 3-D GIS application. In this application, close-range photogrammetry is used for the acquis...

This paper deals with 3D modeling of complex architectural elements for virtual 3D scene reconstruction based on images or point clouds. It presents a new method at the opposite of classical photogrammetry and lasergrammetry techniques: parametric components are created and then adapted to the measured data. We have conceived and developed a parametric shape generator tool for virtual 3D recons...

Digital 3D models of historic buildings or cultural heritage objects are useful for preservation. Not only can we store them permanently, but the models can supply a clear guideline for the restoration process. 3D models also provide sufficient information about geometrical characteristics that may help archaeologists to inspect and classify the objects. The Bayon temple, which consists of 52 t...

The CIPHER project was set up in April 2002 as a thirty month project supported by the European Union. The project aims to give the public new ways of accessing cultural heritage information from around Europe using new technologies. These technologies are intended to help organise knowledge and cultural heritage narratives. The technology helps to present these narratives on the internet and p...

The current expansion of the Internet makes it one of the most popular places to publish and search for almost any kind of information. In particular, touristic information—not only about tours or information about resources, places, museums, or monuments, but also cultural tourism—has gained much attention in the last years. We propose the use of geographical information systems (GIS) technolo...

The practice of freeing monuments from subsequent additions crosses the entire history of conservation and it is traditionally connected to the aim of valorisation, both for cultural and educational purpose and recently even for touristic exploitation. Defence heritage has been widely interested by these cultural and technical moods from philological restoration to critic innovations. A renovat...

The study involves a comparative analysis of cultural tourism in Bucharest and Paris to identify the main aspects sustainable tourism. A set six characteristics (civil monuments architectural assemblies, religious festivals, personalities, digitization tourism, educational institutions) was analyzed for both cities. For this purpose, Benchmarking analysis, SWOT Pareto were used. research result...
