The workshop in brief: Other information about the Event:
There are many historical sites in Iraq, six of them are Unesco World Heritage Sites, such as the Erbil Citadel. Some of the cultural sites faced demolition in times of conflicts or by time, some of them are currently not accessible for foreigners or scientists. Information about Iraq’s Cultural Heritage is mainly tangible but to make it independent from local developments and accessible for a larger, international target group digitalization is necessary.
The huge advances that we are witnessing in digitization technologies over the past decades are opening the door to conservation, preservation, restoration, and dissemination of our tangible cultural heritage on an unprecedented scale. New documentation methods give us today the opportunity, not only to experience the beauty and value of these cultural assets, but also to share and distribute them all over the world. Nowhere is this impact greater than in the vast field of imaging.
Digital imaging technologies are exploring and uncovering new frontiers in virtually all fields of heritage research. From the coverage of vast areas by space and air, down to inspection on a microscopic level. From the world visible to the human eye, to the unseen one lying beyond our spectral capacity.
