Project Director:

Dr Evangelos Kyriakidis, HERITΛGE Director

 

Instructors:

Dr Cornelis Stal, Lecturer/Researcher, HOGENT, HERITΛGE Digital Manager
is a lecturer and researcher at the University College Ghent and Ghent University (Belgium), where he is working on surveying engineering, geomatics and image-based 3D modelling. Within the framework of his research, he has participated in various archaeological and anthropological field campaigns, where the topics of this workshop are empirically implemented in an interdisciplinary context.

Supported by:

 

HERITΛGE, in close collaboration with HOGENT University (Belgium) has organized three integrated and consecutive specialist courses in geomatic topics to assist heritage managers in their work:
• GIS
• Photogrammetry and image-based 3D modelling
• Terrestrial laser scanning
* Please note that these specialist courses can be booked individually. For those intending to just do sections of the field summer school, please contact at the email [email protected] for further information and arrangements.
This field school will introduce students to a broad range of 3D recording and mapping techniques, as well as methodologies to use and analyze spatial data. Participants will be provided with hands-on instruction in these methods with hands-on demos and exercises at various study areas. These skills are essential in heritage management for any restoration, documentation or visualization project.

Online Training Schedule and Details:

During the online training period, each topic is covered by the participants in an asynchronous fashion, meaning that they will process the material and prepare the assignments individually.  At the end of each topic, an online Q&A/demo session will be organised. The content of these sessions will be based on questions and remarks submitted by the participants.

Both online courses will start with an introduction and a kickstart demo for the software.

All online sessions will take place on either Tuesday or Friday, making sure that there are either 3 or 4 days between each session.

For details on the themes taught and application procedures, see the official announcement of the workshop here.
