Advanced volumetric digitisation, neural rendering, and AI-driven analysis for the permanent preservation of Europe's cultural heritage. Building digital twins at scale for research, conservation, and public access.
View CapabilitiesState-of-the-art spatial computing applied to cultural preservation challenges.
Sub-centimetre photogrammetric capture combined with Neural Radiance Fields (NeRF) to produce photorealistic, metrically accurate digital twins of heritage structures, artefacts, and landscapes.
NeRF & Gaussian SplattingMachine learning classification of architectural elements, decay patterns, and stratigraphic features. Automated condition assessment designed to significantly reduce specialist survey time.
Computer Vision & MLAerial and terrestrial LiDAR survey for landscape-scale heritage mapping. Integration with multispectral and hyperspectral data for subsurface feature detection and vegetation analysis.
LiDAR & MultispectralDesigned end-to-end workflow from field acquisition to research-grade digital archive
Multi-sensor spatial capture using UAV photogrammetry, terrestrial LiDAR, and structured-light scanning
Automated registration, classification, and noise filtering of dense point clouds at billion-point scale

FAIR-compliant data packaging, open-access repository deposit, and interactive web-based 3D viewers
Deliverables designed for academic rigour and institutional interoperability
Permanent, high-fidelity 3D records of heritage structures deposited in institutional repositories. Ensuring long-term preservation independent of physical site conditions.
AI-generated condition reports identifying structural degradation, material weathering, and environmental risk factors. Supporting conservation planning and funding applications.
Active engagement with European and national heritage funding frameworks
Culture, Creativity & Inclusive Society. Digital heritage preservation, AI for cultural analysis, and citizen science platforms.
High-performance computing allocation for large-scale neural rendering and volumetric processing of heritage datasets.
Historic England, Heritage Fund, and member-state cultural preservation programmes. Statutory compliance and public benefit delivery.
We are seeking consortium partners for upcoming Horizon Europe Cluster 2 and EuroHPC calls in digital heritage and AI-driven cultural preservation.
