15th EUROGRAPHICS Workshop on Graphics and Cultural Heritage
Graz, Austria, September 27-29, 2017
https://gch17.tugraz.at/

Extended Full Paper Deadline: ** June 02, 2017 **

The 15th EUROGRAPHICS Workshop on Graphics and Cultural Heritage (GCH 
2017) aims to foster an international dialogue between ICT experts and 
CH scientists to advance the understanding of critical requirements for 
processing, managing, and delivering cultural information to a broad 
audience. The objective of the workshop is to introduce and showcase new 
techniques and applications for supporting Cultural Heritage information 
ranging from data acquisition, analysis and synthesis, 3D documentation, 
and data management, to new forms of interactive presentation and 3D 
printing solutions. Interdisciplinary approaches for analysis, 
classification and interpretation of cultural artefacts are particularly 
relevant to the event. GCH 2017 provides a scientific forum to exchange 
novel ideas and techniques in research, education and dissemination of 
Cultural Heritage information, to transfer them into practice, and 
identify future research and application opportunities. To advance the 
dialogue between ICT and CH experts, GCH 2017 will be held in close 
cooperation with the Museumsakademie of the Universalmuseum Joanneum in 
Graz, providing opportunity for exchange between the domains.

We seek original, innovative and previously unpublished contributions in 
the computer graphics area applied to digital cultural heritage, 
challenging the state of the art solutions and leveraging new ideas for 
future developments. Equally, original contributions in the cultural 
heritage field of relevance to computer graphics are welcome. Specific 
workshop sessions will be devoted to reports on applications, 
experiences and projects in this domain. Contributions are solicited 
(but not limited to) in the following areas:

• 2/3/4D data acquisition and processing in Cultural Heritage
• Multispectral imaging and data fusion
• Digital acquisition, representation and communication of intangible 
heritage
• Material acquisition analysis
• Heterogeneous data collection, integration and management
• 3D printing of cultural assets
• Shape analysis and interpretation
• Similarity search of digital artefacts
• Visualization and Virtual Museums including storytelling and design of 
heritage communications
• Multi-modal and interactive environments and applications for Cultural 
Heritage
• Spatial and mobile augmentation of physical collections with digital 
presentations
• Semantic-aware representation of digital artefacts (metadata, 
classification schemes, annotation)
• Digital libraries, archiving and long-term preservation of 3D documents
• Standards and documentation
• Serious games in Cultural Heritage
• Organizational aspects of cooperation between ICT and CH experts for 
project development
• Best practices for deployment of novel ICT solution in the CH domain, 
including budgeting and maintenance
• User demand and reception of ICT solutions in CH institutions

In cooperation with the Museumsakademie Joanneum, GCH is also planning 
for a half-day tutorial program, addressing practices and challenges in 
the important areas of acquisition and presentation of CH content.
