International tutorials on Digital Tools for Built Heritage diagnosis and monitoring

Summer School

Venue: Orléans, France

Date: 20 & 21 June 2023

For graduate, post-graduate students, and staff

 

On 20 and 21 June 2023, Le Studium Loire Valley for Advanced Studies, together with the University of Orléans, organises a summer school on the topic "International tutorials on Digital Tools for Built Heritage diagnosis and monitoring". Recent advancements in 3D scanning technologies for buildings, coupled with their increasingly widespread adoption by users, now enable us to examine the systematic generation of data for historical buildings.

However, due to the specificity of historical constructions, such as large, complex, and /or non-standardized architecture, materials, and construction processes, as well as specific monitoring applications, Historic Building Information Modeling (HBIM) still faces challenges before it becomes fully operational. This scientific event proposes addressing these challenges by exchanging the latest research findings in this field.

Contents

The programme includes four courses of 2,5 to 3 hours, each providing complementary and transdisciplinary knowledge. Topics are for example:

• Laser scanning aquisition
• Photos (terrestrial/drone) acquisition
• 3D Reconstruction from laser and/ or photos
• Application 1: GIS for mappings on orthophotos
• Application 2: Machine Learning for degradation detection 

For more information including the programme, please visit the website of the summer school.

Conditions of participation

There are no formal prerequisites in terms of academic degrees. 

Application

1. Register for the summer school until 25 May 2023. Late application might be possible. Proceed in the same way as for the timely application. 
2. Apply by sending an email to maurine.villiers@lestudium-ias.fr with a short CV, motivation letter regarding your current or future research project (1/2 page max.), and a letter of recommendation.
3. Results of the selection process for free participation until 30 May 2023.

Funding

The summer school is funded by ATHENA. The full cost of participation can be offered to a limited number of participants from ATHENA partner universities. Please note that a registration does not necessarily imply a funding. You will be informed by the University of Orléans whether and to what extent you will be funded. These participants will only have to provide their own transportation to Orléans (France). Only upon justified request, additional funds for transportation costs can be obtained.
