Dear friends and colleagues,

the 7th ISPRS/CIPA 3D-ARCH international workshop on "3D Virtual Reconstruction and Visualization of Complex Architectures" will be held in Nafplio (Greece) on 1-3 March 2017. Nafplio is a heritage seaport town in the Peloponnesus peninsula, ca 2h south-west of Athens.

The event is the 7th in a row after the successful editions in

2005 in Venice (http://www.isprs.org/proceedings/XXXVI/5-W17/),
2007 in Zurich (http://www.isprs.org/proceedings/XXXVI/5-W47/),
2009 in Trento (http://www.isprs.org/proceedings/XXXVIII/5-W1/),
2011 in Trento (http://www.int-arch-photogramm-remote-sens-spatial-inf-sci.net/XXXVIII-5-W16/),
2013 in Trento (http://www.int-arch-photogramm-remote-sens-spatial-inf-sci.net/XL-5-W1/)
2015 in Avila (http://www.int-arch-photogramm-remote-sens-spatial-inf-sci.net/XL-5-W4/index.html)

The 2017 edition will focus on the steps and processes for smart 3D reconstruction, modelling, accessing and understanding of virtual environments from multiple data sources.

Topics include:

Multi-source data and multi-sensors approaches
Low-cost sensors and open-source algorithms for terrestrial 3D modeling
Automation in data registration
Image matching and 3D reconstruction
Point cloud analysis
4D modelling
Procedural modeling and BIM

Accuracy requirement and assessment in 3D reconstructions
Virtual and Augmented Reality applied to the visualization and conservation of complex architectures and heritage

The event will have single-track technical sessions with oral presentations, poster sessions and demos.
