Less formal than a class lecture, a seminar allows for small groups to meet and discuss academic topics or required reading, as well as set goals for research and continuing investigation.
The following seminar was conducted on Thursday 25-05-2023 at 11:30 AM by Mr. Mousa M Amin, Lecturer, Department of Computer Engineering Computer
Synopsis [Abstract) about the seminar:
The huge advances that we are witnessing in digitization technologies over the past decades are opening the door to conservation, preservation, restoration and dissemination of our cultural heritage. New documentation methods give us today the opportunity, not only to experience the beauty and value of these cultural assets, but also to share and distribute them all over the world.
Nowhere is this impact greater than in the vast field of imaging. Digital imaging technologies are exploring and uncovering new frontiers in virtually all fields of heritage research. There are many historical sites in lraq, six of them are Unesco World Heritage Sites, such as the Erbil Citadel. Some of the cultural sites faced demolition in times of conflicts or by time, some of them are currently not accessible for foreigners or scientists. In this project we will try to reconstruct parts of the historical sites digitally (e.g. 360 photography, 3D reconstruction) and consider how additional knowledge about life at that time can be provided using a further digital technologies. As a first step we will engage with one of the exemplary historical sites in the Erbil City which is fHistorical Erbil Citadel).
