Bridging Technology and Heritage at CIPA 2025
The 30th CIPA Symposium, held in Seoul from August 25–29, 2025, brought together researchers, professionals, and heritage managers under the theme “Heritage Conservation from Bits: From Digital Documentation to Data-driven Heritage Conservation.” Our 3D Survey Group, together with professors, researchers, and PhD students from the Department of ABC, participated in this prestigious event.
Our research group presented multiple works, contributing to discussions on how digital tools and data-driven methods are transforming cultural heritage documentation and preservation. The symposium provided valuable opportunities to exchange ideas across disciplines and to explore how emerging technologies, from AI to 3D modeling, can safeguard historical artifacts, sites, and cultural landscapes.
Through this engagement, we reaffirm our commitment to advancing innovative, data-driven approaches for cultural heritage conservation.
