Computer graphics has an application in virtually every area of human activity. In this Special Issue, we focus on applications in art and cultural heritage. For decades now graphics has played a role in the digitization, restoration, conservation, presentation, and communication of our cultural heritage as well as providing new mediums for reflecting on our culture. There continues to be a productive two-way channel between computer graphics and heritage—new graphics techniques continue to have a positive impact on the understanding and communication of heritage, and heritage applications continue to inspire new innovations in computer graphics. In this issue, we present four papers that illustrate the broad range of productive interactions between these fields.

艺术与文化遗产


计算机图形学几乎在人类活动的每个领域都有应用。在本期特刊中，我们重点关注艺术和文化遗产中的应用。几十年来，图形在我们文化遗产的数字化、修复、保护、展示和传播中发挥着重要作用，并为反思我们的文化提供了新的媒介。计算机图形学和遗产之间仍然存在着富有成效的双向通道——新的图形技术继续对遗产的理解和交流产生积极影响，遗产应用继续激发计算机图形学的新创新。在本期中，我们提出了四篇论文，阐述了这些领域之间广泛的富有成效的互动。
