“…A variety of information types exist in the domain of CH: despite the effort towards digitizing information and creating data models with semantic information regarding CH [13], the majority of information remains unstructured. Large amounts of data include unstructured information in the form of multimedia such as images, videos, textual descriptions and analyses, and audio content.…”

Current technological advancements offer many ways of enhancing disabled peoples' access to Cultural Heritage environments. A new generation of Social Computing technologies and systems is changing the way in which we access Cultural Heritage, facilitating the inclusion of socially isolated groups of people. Under this perspective, this paper aims to explore the potential impact of Social Computing systems to enhance people' access to Cultural Heritage, particularly focusing on deaf and disabled users. By reviewing the current literature on Social Computing and Cultural Heritage, the paper first summarizes the related applications and appropriate key technologies; second, it provides examples of innovative approaches to the enhancement of user-engagement and interaction through social computing. Moreover, the paper highlights arising issues of privacy, as well as ethical considerations, and presents design principles for ensuring privacy. The study concludes by discussing challenges for inclusive Social Computing applications in the context of Cultural Heritage and pointing out areas where future research is needed.

Moreover, the paper highlights arising issues of privacy, as well as ethical considerations, and presents design principles for ensuring privacy. The study concludes by discussing challenges for inclusive Social Computing applications in the context of Cultural Heritage and pointing out areas where future research is needed.[1]. Based on the literature, SC can be interactive and collaborative as it facilitates communication between people. SC environments allow people to interact in many different ways. Examples of SC technologies include social media sites and networks, e-mail, discussion forums, blogs, wikis, instant messaging, games, and open-source development.More recently, the rise of SC tools has influenced information systems and applications and strongly received researchers' attention with a particular interest to its social implications for helping people access Cultural Heritage environments [2]. Indeed, social technologies, and especially social media applications, affect both access to and the character of the cultural activity. Cultural Heritage (CH) constitutes an interdisciplinary area...

“…Currently, the scientific community tends to utilize both surveys, especially in cultural heritage documentation where the building materials play a pivotal role in the documentation process. In this case, both survey methods are elaborated and integrated, providing a textured 3D model [12][13][14][15].…”

In this work, a multi-disciplinary approach regarding diagnostic study processes is presented, using as an example the Catholicon of Kaisariani Monastery in Attica, Greece. Kaisariani Monastery is considered one of the most important Byzantine architectural complexes in Greece. The Catholicon of Kaisariani Monastery was built during the middle Byzantine period, and has undergone many reconstructions during the centuries. It is a semi-complex, four-columned, cross-in-square church, with a cloisonné masonry. The suggested diagnostic processes included the creation of multidisciplinary thematic maps in Computer Aided Design (CAD) environment, which incorporated: (a) data of historical and architectural documentation; (b) data of geometric documentation; and (c) data of building materials characterization and decay diagnosis. The historical and general architectural data were acquired by thorough bibliographical/archival research. Geometric documentation data were acquired by three-dimensional (3D) laser scanner for the creation of the Catholicon section drawings, whereas image based photogrammetric techniques were utilized for the creation of a 3D textured model, from which orthoimages and architectural drawings of the Catholicon façades were developed. In parallel, characterization of building materials and identification of decay patterns took place after the onsite application of the nondestructive techniques of digital microscopy, infrared thermography and ground penetrating radar. These vast array kinds of data were elaborated and integrated into the architectural drawings, developing thematic maps that record and represent the current preservation state of the monument, a concerning major construction phases, the most important conservation intervention projects, building materials and decay. Furthermore, data quantification regarding the extent of building materials and decay at each monument’s façade took place. Therefore, correlation and better understanding of the environmental impact on building materials according to façade orientation and historical data, e.g., construction phases, was accomplished. In conclusion, the presented processes are multidisciplinary tasks that require collaboration among architects, surveyor engineers and materials scientists/engineers. They are also prerequisites for the planning and application of compatible and efficient conservation/restoration interventions, for the ultimate goal of the sustainable protection of a monument.

“…The recent advances in depth sensors, which have concluded to the development of low-cost 3D capturing systems, such as Microsoft Kinect [7] or Intel RealSense [8], permit easy capturing of human skeleton joints, in 3D space, which are then properly analyzed to extract dance kinematics [9]. The preservation of folk dances can be facilitated by modern Information and Communication Technologies by leveraging recent developments in a variety of areas, such as storage, image and video processing, machine learning, cloud computing, crowdsourcing, and automatic semantic annotation, to name a few [10].…”

The convention for the safeguarding of Intangible Cultural Heritage (ICH) by UNESCO highlights the equal importance of intangible elements of cultural heritage to tangible ones. One of the most important domains of ICH is folkloric dances. A dance choreography is a time-varying 3D process (4D modelling), which includes dynamic co-interactions among different actors, emotional and style attributes, and supplementary elements, such as music tempo and costumes. Presently, research focuses on the use of depth acquisition sensors, to handle kinesiology issues. The extraction of skeleton data, in real time, contains a significant amount of information (data and metadata), allowing for various choreography-based analytics. In this paper, a trajectory interpretation method for Greek folkloric dances is presented. We focus on matching trajectories’ patterns, existing in a choreographic database, to new ones originating from different sensor types such as VICON and Kinect II. Then, a Dynamic Time Warping (DTW) algorithm is proposed to find out similarities/dissimilarities among the choreographic trajectories. The goal is to evaluate the performance of the low-cost Kinect II sensor for dance choreography compared to the accurate but of high-cost VICON-based choreographies. Experimental results on real-life dances are carried out to show the effectiveness of the proposed DTW methodology and the ability of Kinect II to localize dances in 3D space.
