Digital Libraries and Digital Heritage

In this research area we consider novel methods for indexing, annotating, serving, and preserving generalized documents. This includes methods for content-based search in 3D objects, the development of web architectures for distributed search and delivery of content, and the definition of visual-interactive search user interfaces for content access. Among others, important application domains include digital architecture (e.g., analysis and archival of 3D building data) and digital archaeology (e.g., markup, indexation and restoration of 3D artifact data). The research builds on results obtained in EU project like EPOCH, 3DCOFORM, and PRESIOUS. The work in this area also includes the development and operation of the SRM conference management and review system.
