Best Paper Award at the SUMAC 2024 Workshop at the ACM MULTIMEDIA Conference in Melbourne

SUMAC 2024 was held in conjunction with the ACM MULTIMEDIA conference in Melbourne, Australia, from 28 October to 1 November 2024.

The sixth version of the SUMAC (analySis, Understanding and proMotion of heritAge Contents) workshop, like its predecessors, focuses on analyzing, processing and valorizing all types of data related to cultural heritage, including tangible and intangible heritage. As stated by UNESCO, cultural heritage provides societies with a wealth of resources inherited from the past, created in the present for the benefit of future generations.

The prize for the best article was awarded to Laura Willot and Kévin Réby for their article Creating a Dataset for the Detection and Segmentation of Degradation Phenomena in Notre-Dame de Paris.

This work was supported by two research programmes:

  • State aid managed by the Agence Nationale de la Recherche under the future investment programme integrated into France 2030, bearing the reference ANR-17-EURE-0021 – École Universitaire de Recherche Paris Seine Humanités, Création, Patrimoine – Fondation des sciences du patrimoine.
  • funding from 2019 by the CNRS and the Ministry of Culture as part of the Chantier Scientifique Notre-Dame de Paris project, and from 2022 by the European Research Council (ERC Advanced Grant nDame_Heritage: n-dimensionam analysis and memorization ecosystem for building cathedrals of knowledge in Heritage Science).
