ICOMOS International Scientific Committee on Heritage Documentation (CIPA)
The International Committee for Documentation of Cultural Heritage (CIPA) was established in collaboration with ISPRS (International Society of Photogrammetry and Remote Sensing).
Its main purpose is the improvement of all methods for surveying of cultural monuments and sites, especially by synergy effects gained by the combination of methods under special consideration of photogrammetry with all its aspects, as an important contribution to recording and perceptual monitoring of cultural heritage, to preservation and restoration of any valuable architectural or other cultural monument, object or site, as a support to architectural, archaeological and other art-historical research.
