3D change detection for cultural heritage monitoring: Two case studies of underground sculptural reliefs Digital Applications in Archaeology and Cultural Heritage Pub Date : 2024-03-14 María Fernanda López-Armentaa, Romina Nespecab
The preservation of Underground Cultural Heritage is a challenging goal. Difficult acquisition conditions, the need for uniformity of temporal data and the speed at which surfaces change are some of the issues to consider. Also, quantifiable three-dimensional data are often unavailable when assessing changes on sculptural reliefs because traditional records are two-dimensional. In this paper, we present
