Art conservators now have access to a wide variety of digital imaging techniques to assist in examining and documenting physical works of art. Commonly used techniques include hyperspectral imaging, 3D scanning and medical ...

There are many different activities in cultural heritage research, such as digitization, data visualization, information analysis, and dissemination. Much effort has been made to develop better technologies for data capture ...

A massive digital acquisition of huge sets of deteriorating historical documents is mandatory due to their value and delicacy. The study and the browsing of such digital libraries is becoming crucial for scholars in the ...

In this short paper we present work in progress on creating tools to facilitate 3D reconstruction of cultural heritage. We propose three new types of tools to make reconstruction easier - first we fetch linked open data ...

Given a color image of a medieval manuscript page, we propose a simple, yet efficient algorithm for automatically estimating the number of its color-based pixel groups, K. We formulate this estimation as a minimization ...

In Cultural Heritage projects, it is very important to identify and track weathering effects on monuments in order to design and test conservation strategies. Currently, this mapping is manual work performed by experts ...

The study of cultural heritage involves many different activities, including digital data visualization, information analysis and sharing results. Current technologies focus on providing better tools for data representation ...

We present new techniques for capturing the shape of physical objects using simple tools. From a set of caliper distance measurements between object points, we reconstruct a three dimensional structure. We show that we can ...

We present a work-in-progress report on a sketch- and image-based software called ''CHER-ish'' designed to help make sense of the cultural heritage data associated with sites within 3D space. The software is based on the ...

We present a review of recent techniques for performing geometric analysis in cultural heritage applications, targeting the broad community of researchers and practitioners in cultural heritage computing. The problems ...
