How we understand our shared and individual heritage, interpret and
disseminate that knowledge is increasingly central to contemporary
society. The emerging context for such development is the field of
heritage science. Inherently interdisciplinary, and involving both
the Arts and Humanities, engineering, conservation and the digital
sciences, the development of heritage science is a driver for
change; socially, economically and technically. This book has
gathered contributions from leading researchers from across the
world and provides a series of themed contributions demonstrating
the theoretical, ethical, methodological and technical methods
which lie at the heart of heritage science. Archaeology,
conservation, museology, the arts, forensic sciences, and heritage
management are represented through collaborative research with
specialists in applied technologies including object and
terrestrial laser scanning, multi-spectral imaging, visualisation,
GIS and 3D-printing. Together, the chapters present important case
studies to demonstrate the recent advances and best practise within
the discipline, highlighting the value of digital transformation
across the heritage community that includes objects, monuments,
sites and landscapes spanning two million years of natural and
cultural history from all over the world. Visual Heritage: Digital
Approaches in Heritage Science is aimed at a broad academic and
practice-led readership, which extends across many disciplines and
will be of considerable value to scholars, practitioners, and
students working within heritage and computer science at all
levels. The content, which applies heritage science across two
million years of cultural history will be appreciated by a general
audience, as well as those wishing simply to explore the vast range
of potential technical applications across all the disciplines
represented in the book.
