10:30 – 10:40 | Opening Session

Advancing AI for 3D Digital Twins in Cultural Heritage

 

Speakers:

  • Rehana Schwinninger Ladak, Head of Unit, DG CNECT Unit G2 – Interactive Technologies, Digital for Culture and Education

  • Marco Medici, Project Coordinator, 3D-4CH

 

The opening session will frame the event within the ApplyAI Strategy and the action supporting the uptake and scaling of AI technologies for highly realistic and accurate 3D digital twins of cultural sites and artefacts. The Commission will outline policy priorities and expected impact, followed by a positioning of 3D-4CH within this strategic framework.

 

10:40 – 11:20 | Session 1

AI for scaling up 3D digitisation & enhancement

AI techniques that can be/are used to accelerate or improve 3D capture workflows, enhance legacy models, or scale digitisation pipelines. Three 7-minute presentations + collective Q&A / discussion

 

11:20 – 12:00 | Session 2

AI for semantic enrichment & segmentation

AI methods that can be/are used to automate segmentation, metadata extraction, and semantic labelling of 3D models. Three 7-minute presentations + collective Q&A / discussion

 

12:00 – 12:10

Short Break

 

12:10 – 12:50 | Session 3

AI for data visualisation, interpretation, narrative creation and reuse

AI approaches that can be/are used to analyse, classify, visualise, or interpret cultural heritage data and scenes, supporting decision-making processes, enabling re-use and the creation of new narratives and contextual understandings. Three 7-minute presentations + collective Q&A / discussion

 

12:50 – 13:00 | Closing Remarks
