we are pleasure to invite you to the 5th 3D-ARCH International Conference on "3D Virtual Reconstruction and Visualization of Complex Architectures" which will be held in FBK (http://www.fbk.eu) Trento, Italy, on 25-26 February 2013 (http://www.3d-arch.org).

It is a ISPRS / CIPA event organized by
- Jan Boehm - Dept. Civil, Environmental and Geomatic Engineering - UCL London, UK
- Thomas Kersten - Photogrammetry & Laserscanning Lab - HafenCity University Hamburg, Germany
- Takashi Fuse - University of Tokyo, Japan
- Fabio Remondino - 3D Optical Metrology unit (http://3dom.fbk.eu), FBK Trento, Italy

The event is the fifth in a row, after the successful events 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/).

The main focus of the 2013 workshop will be the steps and processes for creating virtual environments from multiple data sources.
Topics are limited to:
- Automated 3D modeling algorithms and techniques
- Procedural methods for architectural modeling
- Accuracy requirement and assessment for 3D reconstructions
- Low-cost sensors and open-source algorithms for architecural 3D modeling
- Algorithms for terrestrial sensors and data integration
- Automated BIM geometry capture

The event will have 2 full days with single-track technical sessions with oral presentations and posters visible during the breaks.
