The project “Digital Cultural Heritage Twins Connections: Bridging Documentation, Analysis and Education from Satellite to Ground (HerOn)” aims to study, combine and disseminate the multiple possibilities offered by Digital Twins (DT) applied to architectural, archaeological and natural Cultural Heritage (CH). Its objective is to address and resolve issues focused on scientific and social analysis and dissemination jointly through the different types of satellite, aerial and terrestrial remote sensing systems for the dissemination of CH.

Our proposal faces a growing problem in CH of technological saturation and the inability to combine, organize and disseminate all its possibilities. Therefore, our objective will allow the development of a multidisciplinary work team between various scientific branches of architecture, archaeology, engineering, education, legal framework and geomatic sciences that jointly analyzes using different types of examples of DT from each of the partners of this project. This aims to contemplate the connection possibilities that allow analyzing and disseminating CH through DT to promote the development of UNITA research community.

The European context has made progress in technical aspects of digitization, conservation and prevention of CH but not in the combination from multiple points of view that allow connections to be established between different actors who are dedicated to CH from four points of view: Multi-Scale and Multi-Temporal documentation, of Multi-Range application techniques and scientific and social web diffusion based on Multi-Platform. In this sense, the use of the concept of DT and its social and scientific use from a broad integrative point of view that can range from UNITA Projetc - Digital Cultural Heritage Twins Connections: Bridging Documentation, Analysis And Education from Satellite to Ground (HerOn) satellite Earth Observation to terrestrial documentation of real estate plays an essential role. For the execution of this project, an innovative multidisciplinary scientific partnership has been formed to develop an innovative methodological approach.
