    • New Approaches to Efficient Rendering of Complex Reconstructed Environments 

      Havemann, S.; Fellner, Dieter W.; Day, A. M.; Arnold, D. B. (The Eurographics Association, 2003)
      The creation of complete reconstructions of populated urban environments are technically difficult tasks primarily due to economic constraints in the modeling phase: complex models need to keep rendering aspects in mind ...

    • On the Interactive 3D Reconstruction of Iberian Vessels 

      Melero, F.J.; Torres, J.C.; León, A. (The Eurographics Association, 2003)
      Reconstructing vessels from sherds is a complex task, specially for hand made pottery. That is the case of the Iberian vessels. The reconstruction process can be done in three steps: orientation of the sherd, computing the ...

    • Photorealism and Non-Photorealism in Virtual Heritage Representation 

      Roussou, Maria; Drettakis, George (The Eurographics Association, 2003)
      The area of virtual heritage has long been concentrated on generating digital reconstructions of historical or archaeological artefacts and sites with enough fidelity to be truly accurate representations of their real-world ...

    • Portals: Aiding Navigation in Virtual Museums 

      Kotziampasis, Ioannis; Sidwell, Nathan; Chalmers, Alan (The Eurographics Association, 2003)
      Distributed virtual environments offer an efficient way for a number of users to create complex 3D virtual worlds. However, navigation within these virtual environments can be significantly hampered by the lack of ...

    • Presenting an Archaeological Site in the Virtual Showcase 

      Ledermann, Florian; Schmalstieg, Dieter (The Eurographics Association, 2003)
      In this paper, we present our effort to use augmented reality technology to present an archaeological site inside the 'Virtual Showcase'. A scale model of the ruin of the roman 'Heidentor' is complemented with virtual ...

    • Providing Multimedia Tools for Recording, Reconstruction, Visualisation and Database Storage/Access of Archaeological Excavations 

      Cosmas, J.; Itegaki, T.; Green, D.; Joseph, N.; Gool, L. Van; Zalesny, A.; Vanrintel, D.; Leberl, F.; Grabner, M.; Schindler, K.; Karner, K.; Gervautz, M.; Hynst, S.; Waelkens, M.; Vergauwen, M.; Pollefeys, M.; Cornelis, K.; Vereenooghe, T.; Sablatnig, R.; Kampel, M.; Axell, P.; Meyns, E. (The Eurographics Association, 2003)
      Over the years archaeologists have been swift to embrace new advances in technology that allow them to more comprehensively document the results of their work. Today it is commonplace to find information technologies, in ...

    • Scholarly documentation through digital storytelling: opening the tomb of Ramsses II 

      Cain, Kevin (The Eurographics Association, 2003)
      Ramsses II's large but damaged tomb in Egypt's Valley of the Kings is now being revived by a French team (CNRS). Current excavation and study is meant to culminate not only in the tomb's first complete publication, but ...

    • VCLab s Tools for 3D range data processing 

      Callieri, M.; Cignoni, P.; Ganovelli, F.; Montani, C.; Pingi, P.; Scopigno, R. (The Eurographics Association, 2003)
      Post-processing of 3D scanned data is still the bottleneck for a wider diffusion of this technology. In this paper we describe our second generation tools for processing 3D scanned data. In particular, our tools support: ...

    • Virtual Vessel Reconstruction from a Fragment s Profile 

      Kampel, M.; Melero, F. J. (The Eurographics Association, 2003)
      Every archaeological excavation must deal with a vast number of ceramic fragments. The documentation, administration and scientific processing of these fragments represent a temporal, personnel, and financial problem. Up ...

    • Visualisation of Highly Textured Surfaces 

      El-Hakim, Sabry F.; Gonzo, Lorenzo; Picard, Michel; Girardi, Stefano; Simoni, Andrea; Paquet, Eric; Viktor, Herna; Brenner, Claus (The Eurographics Association, 2003)
      We address the main issues in real-time visualization and interactive manipulation of highly textured surfaces. For applications such as cultural heritage, achieving this will give a vista to scientists, conservationists, ...

    • Web-based visualization of virtual archaeological sites 

      Grabner, Markus; Wozelka, Ralph; Mirchandani, Manish; Schindler, Konrad (The Eurographics Association, 2003)
      We present a web-based visualization tool for archaeological sites that has been developed within the 3D Murale project. The problem of structuring the scene prior to visualization is addressed by an extension to the 3D ...
