The ITN-DCH project is an Initial Training Network under the FP7 - People Marie Curie Actions Programme

Research Training  Projects

Project 1: Cultural Heritage Data Definitions, Requirements and the Metadata Description Interface
Definition of a complete metadata interface able to represent the new forms of CH assets (4D/intangible) is proposed in order to allow interoperability and backward compatibility with existing specs used in CH libraries, such as     EUROPEANA.

Project 2: Capturing and Digitisation technologies in Cultural Heritage
Promote a scalable capturing research by combining multi-view cameras, depth sensor and TOF cameras for generating high resolution 3D/4D point clouds, with textured data, under an affordable framework and focus on super-resolution approaches that increases capturing resolution through the incorporation of advanced signal processing tools and self calibration/registration methods.

Project 3: Data pre/post-processing (2D, 3D), Computer vision and computational geometry
Automate modelling process in regard to tangible and intangible content and in cases of complex background, moving objects and severe occlusions.

Project 4: Semantic-Symbolic & Conceptual representation
Research on inherently inter-related the way of expression, the style and emotional properties with tangible CH assets and on synchronization especially in cases where multiple moving objects are encountered in the digitisation process.

Project 5: Digital Cultural applications
Incorporation of physical CH assets with virtual objects and additional knowledge coming from intangible information for perceptual and real-time rendering, human animation, storytelling, synchronization, incorporation of geo-information, virtual synthesis of all our senses environment.

Project 6: Cloud Services in Digital Cultural Heritage
Quality of Service (QoS) in cloud computing architectures and improve data acquisition using cloud computing services.

Project 7: Dissemination and Outreach
Dissemination, Outreach, Exploitation and Standardization Actions: These activities are described in the Impact and Outreach Section.
