      Heritage monuments such as columns, memorials and buildings are typically carved with a variety of visual features, including figural content, illustrating scenes from battles or historical narratives. Understanding such ...

    • Visualising Dudsbury Hillfort: Using Immersive Virtual Reality to Engage the Public with Cultural Heritage 

      John, David; Hurst, David; Cheetham, Paul; Manley, Harry (The Eurographics Association, 2018)
      Whilst computer visualisation is an established method of presenting cultural heritage, the use of game engines to provide a full immersive virtual reality experience is less well developed. This research documents the ...

      Scalas, Andreas; Vassallo, Valentina; Mortara, Michela; Spagnuolo, Michela; Hermon, Sorin (The Eurographics Association, 2018)
      The typical approach for archaeological analysis is mainly qualitative and, as such, subjective. Even when some measures are reported in the documentation of artefacts, they are often approximate or ambiguous. Conversely, ...

    • Proxy Painting 

      Lange, Vanessa; Kurth, Philipp; Keinert, Benjamin; Boss, Martin; Stamminger, Marc; Bauer, Frank (The Eurographics Association, 2018)
      For archaeologists it is often desireable to present statues in their original coloration. With projection mapping real-world surfaces are augmented by digital content to create compelling alterations of the scene's visual ...

    • Digital Workflow for Creating 3D Puzzles to Engage Audiences in the Interpretation of Archaeological Artefacts 

      Echavarria, Karina Rodriguez; Samaroudi, Myrsini (The Eurographics Association, 2018)
      3D physical puzzles are typically used to engage audiences in the interpretation of archaeological artefacts in a museum exhibition. The reason for this is that a puzzle can be seen as a game but also as a complex activity ...

    • VR-assisted Architectural Design in a Heritage Site: the Sagrada Família Case Study 

      Andujar, Carlos; Brunet, Pere; Buxareu, Jerónimo; Fons, Joan; Laguarda, Narcís; Pascual, Jordi; Pelechano, Nuria (The Eurographics Association, 2018)
      Virtual Reality (VR) simulations have long been proposed to allow users to explore both yet-to-built buildings in architectural design, and ancient, remote or disappeared buildings in cultural heritage. In this paper we ...

    • Improving Marker-Based Tracking for Augmented Reality in Underwater Environments 

      Cejka, Jan; Zuzi, Marek; Agrafiotis, Panagiotis; Skarlatos, Dimitrios; Bruno, Fabio; Liarokapis, Fotis (The Eurographics Association, 2018)
      Underwater sites are a challenging environment for augmented reality. Images taken under water are degraded in several ways, most importantly they are affected by unbalanced colors due to uneven absorption of light in each ...

    • VR Video Storytelling for Intangible Cultural Heritage Preservation 

      Selmanovic, Elmedin; Rizvic, Selma; Harvey, Carlo; Boskovic, Dusanka; Hulusic, Vedad; Chahin, Malek; Sljivo, Sanda (The Eurographics Association, 2018)
      Interactive digital storytelling has become a popular method for virtual cultural heritage presentations. Combinations of stories and 3D virtual reconstructions are attractive for the audience and have high edutainment ...

    • Evaluation of Multi-Platform Mobile AR Frameworks for Roman Mosaic Augmentation 

      Cardoso, Jorge C. S.; Belo, André (The Eurographics Association, 2018)
      Augmented Reality (AR) development frameworks have different recognition performance on different kinds of target images. In this work, we studied AR frameworks applied in the context of outdoor Roman mosaic ruins with the ...

    • Elastic Flattening of Painted Pottery Surfaces 

      Preiner, Reinhold; Karl, Stephan; Bayer, Paul; Schreck, Tobias (The Eurographics Association, 2018)
      Generating flat images from paintings on curved surfaces is an important task in Archaeological analysis of ancient pottery. It allows comparing styles and painting techniques, e.g, for style and workshop attribution, and ...

    • Granitic Recumbent Statue Reproduction by a Seven Axes Robotic Milling Machine 

      Barreau, Jean-Baptiste; Jouneau, Joëlle; Mérelle, Johnny; Maillard, Loïc; Bernard, Yann; Quesnel, Laurent (The Eurographics Association, 2018)
      Facing the sea, the rocks sculpted by the "Abbé Fouré" at the "Pointe du Christ" and the "Pointe de la Haie" in Rothéneuf (Brittany, France) attract many visitors. Winds, rains and sea spray erode each day a little more ...

    • An Investigation of Optimal Light Source Setups for Photometric Stereo Reconstruction of Historical Coins 

      Brenner, Simon; Zambanini, Sebastian; Sablatnig, Robert (The Eurographics Association, 2018)
      In this paper, we address the 3D reconstruction of historical coins by means of Photometric Stereo. We investigate the influence of the number and arrangement of lights to the reconstruction quality by comparing mean angular ...
