3D digitizing of cultural heritage

Abstract In this paper, the authors briefly review the state of the art of the 3D acquisition and digitizing techniques applied to heritage. The main focus is on motivations, issues and technical specification of the 3D digitizing of heritage artworks. Different digitizing technologies currently available for this specific application have been evaluated and tested, with application to a pair of case studies, showing that 3D digitizing technologies are sufficiently developed for extensive application in the field of cultural heritage.
