Next Matevz Straus of ARCTUR gives an introduction to 3D data capture and modelling for sites and buildings, which covers laser scanning, photogrammetry and the use of drones to capture images. Matevz explains image processing techniques, how the information in over-lapping images is used to capture 3-dimensional shapes and how these shapes are processed to create 3D models. Next Ivan Erhel of TheFactStories and Tiago Costa of Doppel describe how the Tech4Heritage project is involving and training the local community in Iraq in digitising their heritage to create 3D models of archaeological sites and objects which can be shared with the wide world. The final speaker Lorena Aldana of Europeana gave a brief introduction to the TwinIt! campaign. The webinar closes with a question and answer session.
