    • Artifacts Removal for Color Projection on 3D Models using Flash Light 

      Dellepiane, Matteo; Callieri, Marco; Corsini, Massimiliano; Cignoni, Paolo; Scopigno, Roberto (The Eurographics Association, 2009)
      Abstract Lighting artifacts are one of the main issues in digital photography: complex light setups are needed to attenuate or remove them. Flash light is a very easy way to illuminate an object or an environment, but it ...
    • Analysis of Document Snippets as a Basis for Reconstruction 

      Diem, Markus; Kleber, Florian; Sablatnig, Robert (The Eurographics Association, 2009)
      In Archaeography, Philology, Forensics, and related research areas fragments of documents are very common. These fragments are the basis for the subsequent reconstruction process, where the goal is to make the original ...

      Jr., Joseph T. Kider; Fletcher, Rebecca L.; Yu, Nancy; Holod, Renata; Chalmers, Alan; Badler, Norman I. (The Eurographics Association, 2009)
      Early Islamic light sources are not simple, static, uniform points, and the fixtures themselves are often combinations of glass, water, fuel and flame. Various physically based renderers such as Radiance are widely used ...
    • Last House on the Hill: Digitally Remediating Data and Media for Preservation and Access 

      Ashley, Michael; Tringham, Ruth; Perlingieri, Cinzia (The Eurographics Association, 2009)
      The idea of embedding, interweaving, entangling and otherwise linking the data and media from archaeological excavations with their interpretation and meaningful presentation in an open access sharable platform has long ...

      The paper describes a pipeline for 3D scanning acquisition and processing that allow to exploit the utmost precision and quality out of ToF scanners. The proposed approach capitalize on the knowledge of the distribution ...
    • Optimized Image Sampling for View and Light Interpolation 

      Gunawardane, Prabath; Wang, Oliver; Scher, Steven; Rickards, Ian; Davis, James; Malzbender, Tom (The Eurographics Association, 2009)
      Accurate virtual reconstruction of real world objects has long been a desired goal of image-based computer graphics. Usually this involves a lengthy capture process where an object is photographed from different viewpoints ...
    • Serious Gaming with VENUS-PD: A Virtual Submarine for Accessing Europe's Sunken Archaeological Treasures 

      Chapman, Paul Michael; Bale, Kim; Drap, Pierre (The Eurographics Association, 2009)
      Computer graphics have been used successfully for a number of years to help improve our understanding of both offshore marine activities and land based archaeological sites. 'Marine visualization' has traditionally been ...
    • Structural and Lighting Models for the Minoan Cemetery at Phourni, Crete 

      Papadopoulos, Constantinos; Earl, Graeme P. (The Eurographics Association, 2009)
      The importance of death to the living is of interest to scholars in a range of disciplines. This paper describes a computer-based research project undertaken to create a series of alternative readings of the dataset from ...
    • Interactive Domitilla Catacomb Exploration 

      Scheiblauer, Claus; Zimmermann, N.; Wimmer, Michael (The Eurographics Association, 2009)
      In this paper we present an approach for interactive visualization and manipulation of huge point clouds. Archaeological monuments like the Domitilla Catacomb in Rome lead to data sets surpassing 1 Billion (109) points or ...
    • Parsing Architecture within Plan Drawings with Application to Medieval Castles and Fortresses 

      Willis, Andrew; Sui, Yunfeng; Galor, Katharina (The Eurographics Association, 2009)
      Plan drawings are graphical documents critical to the documentation of architectural features at historic sites. These drawings include important geometric information such as the location, shape, and size of architectural ...
    • A Point-based System for Local and Remote Exploration of Dense 3D Scanned Models 

      Bettio, Fabio; Gobbetti, Enrico; Marton, Fabio; Tinti, Alex; Merella, Emilio; Combet, Roberto (The Eurographics Association, 2009)
      We present a client-server framework for network distribution and real-time point-based rendering of large 3D models on commodity graphics platforms. Model inspection, based on a one-touch interface, is enriched by a ...
    • Reconstruction of Large Cultural Heritage Sites from Archived Maps 

      Laycock, Robert G.; Laycock, Stephen D.; Day, Andrew M. (The Eurographics Association, 2009)
      Reconstructions of large cultural heritage sites, at multiple time periods, facilitate public awareness, enable the visualisation of regeneration proposals, and assist archaeologists in establishing the validity of a ...
    • The Virtual Reconstruction and Daylight Illumination of the Panagia Angeloktisti 

      Happa, Jassim; Artusi, Alessandro; Dubla, Piotr; Bashford-Rogers, Tom; Debattista, Kurt; Hulusic, Vedad; Chalmers, Alan (The Eurographics Association, 2009)
      High-fidelity virtual reconstructions can be used as accurate 3D representations of historical environments. After modelling the site to high precision, physically-based and historically correct light models must be ...
