With projects such as CultLab3D, 3D Digital preservation of cultural heritage will become more affordable and with this, the number of 3D-models representing scanned artefacts will dramatically increase. However, once mass ...

3D scanning and 3D printing are two rapidly evolving domains, both generating results with a huge and growing spectrum of applications. Especially in Cultural Heritage, a massive and increasing amount of objects awaits ...

Planning exhibitions of cultural artifacts is always challenging. Artifacts can be very sensitive to the environment and therefore their display can be risky. One way to circumvent this is to build replicas of these ...

We present the prototype of a software system to streamline the serial production of simple interactive 3D animations for the display in museum exhibitions. We propose dividing the authoring process in two phases, a designer ...

CultLab3D, the world-wide first attempt at 3D mass digitization, implements a multi-modular scanning pipeline connecting individual scanners by conveyor belts and transporting cultural heritage artefacts on corresponding trays.

It is still a big technical problem to establish a relation between a shape and its meaning in a sustainable way. We present a solution with a markup method that allows to label parts of a 3D object in a similar way to ...

Sharing 3D models with embedded annotations and additional information in a generally accessible way still is a major challange. Using 3D technology must become much easier, in particular in areas such as Cultural Heritage, ...

Cultural heritage preservation using photometric approaches received increasing significance in the past years. Capturing of these datasets is usually done with high-end cameras at maximum image resolution enabling high ...

Acquisition of 3D geometry, texture and optical material properties of real objects still consumes a considerable amount of time, and forces humans to dedicate their full attention to this process. We propose CultLab3D, ...

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 ...
