Abstract

This chapter presents a new line of research that addresses the treatment of data acquired through different sensors to capture reality in order to obtain useful information that can be applied to the generation of knowledge in the field of conservation and restoration of Cultural Heritage. This technology is expected to be used to solve impact problems in this field. The ultimate goal is the generation of work strategies to enhance the quality of the service provided to visitors and, consequently, their satisfaction. The multidisciplinary nature of the tasks to be tackled requires the joint work of specialists from such diverse areas as Computer Vision and Archaeology.
