In this paper we present how technologies developed in the context of 3D graphics (3D scanning and image-to- 3D-model mapping) have been used to evaluate in a metrically objective way the plausibility of an attribution ...

A wide-spread use of 3D models in cultural heritage application requires low cost equipment and simple modeling procedures. In this context, passive 3D reconstruction methods allow to build 3D models from a set of calibrated ...

Cultural objects of archeological findings are often broken and fractured into a large amount of fragments, and the archeologists are confronted by 3D puzzles when reassembling the fractured objects. Scanning the fragments ...

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 ...

The article reports the interdisciplinary project of the virtualization of the Great Inscription of Gortyna (Crete) for 3D documentation, structural studies and physical replica purposes. The digitization of the longest ...

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 ...

The aim of this research project is the digital documentation of the "Domus Severiana" Palace at Palatine in Rome through the integration of geometrical 3D- and non-geometrical information. The great density of information ...

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 ...

We propose to exploit the color capabilities of recent rapid prototyping hardware devices to enhance the visual appearance of reproduced objects. In particular, by carefully pre-computing surface shading, we are able to ...

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 ...
