    • Influencing Factors on the Visualisation of Archaeological Uncertainty 

      Sifniotis, Maria; Watten, Phil; Mania, Katerina; White, Martin (The Eurographics Association, 2007)
      This paper presents further work on a 3D visualisation system for the reconstruction of historical structures which takes into account archaeological uncertainty. The uncertainty associated with an archaeologist s ...

    • Interactive Augmented Experiences for Cultural Historical Events 

      Linaza, Maria Teresa; Cobos, Yolanda; Mentxaka, Jon; Campos, Miren Koro; Penalba, Mauro (The Eurographics Association, 2007)
      This paper presents a project called Bidaiatzera based on Augmented Reality technologies for leisure and educational applications with tourist, cultural or socio-economic contents. Augmented Reality technologies provide a ...

    • On Ancient Coin Classification 

      Zaharieva, Maia; Huber-Moerk, Reinhold; Noelle, Michael; Kampel, Martin (The Eurographics Association, 2007)
      Illegal trade and theft of coins appears to be a major part of the illegal antiques market. Image based recognition of coins could substantially contribute to fight against it. Central component in the permanent identification ...

    • Open Source and Open Standards for Using Integrated Geographic Data on the Web 

      Felicetti, Achille; Lorenzini, Matteo (The Eurographics Association, 2007)
      This article describes the first results of our research concerning the developement of a complete Open Source system based on W3C and ISO 19100 standards to integrate and manage spatial and non-spatial archaeological ...

    • A Pipeline for the Digitization and the Realistic Rendering of Paintings 

      Larue, Frederic; Ammann, Lucas; Dischler, Jean-Michel (The Eurographics Association, 2007)
      Digitization and visualization are both of great importance for Cultural Heritage, for instance for the design of virtual galleries. Despite a lot of research, enabling a real-time walkthrough around complex digital copies ...

    • Populating Ancient Pompeii with Crowds of Virtual Romans 

      Maim, Jonathan; Haegler, Simon; Yersin, Barbara; Mueller, Pascal; Thalmann, Daniel; Gool, Luc Van (The Eurographics Association, 2007)
      Pompeii was a Roman city, destroyed and completely buried during an eruption of the volcano Mount Vesuvius. We have revived its past by creating a 3D model of its previous appearance and populated it with crowds of Virtual ...

    • Registration of Multi-Spectral Manuscript Images 

      Diem, Markus; Lettner, Martin; Sablatnig, Robert (The Eurographics Association, 2007)
      Two medieval Slavonic manuscripts are recorded, investigated and analyzed by philologists in collaboration with computer scientists. The aim of the project is to develop algorithms that support the philologists by automatically ...
