Insourcing, Outsourcing and Crowdsourcing 3D Collection Formation: Perspectives for Cultural Heritage Sites
(The Eurographics Association, 2012)This paper presents three different propositions for cultural heritage organisations on how to digitise objects in 3D. It is based on the practical evaluation of three different deployment experiments that use different ... -
Interactive Exploration of Gigantic Point Clouds on Mobile Devices
(The Eurographics Association, 2012)New embedded CPUs that sport powerful graphics chipsets have the potential to make complex 3D applications feasible on mobile devices. In this paper, we present a scalable architecture and its implementation for mobile ... -
Interactive Semantic Enrichment of 3D Cultural Heritage Collections
(The Eurographics Association, 2012)Virtual Surrogates of Cultural Heritage (CH) objects are seriously being considered in professional activities such as conservation and preservation, exhibition planning, packing, and scholarly research, among many other ... -
Large-scale Immersive Reconstitution of a Neolithic Corbel Dome
(The Eurographics Association, 2012)We propose a workflow of tools and procedures to reconstruct an existing archaeological site as a virtual 3D reconstitution in a large scale immersive system. This interdisciplinary endeavor, gathering archaeologists and ... -
Parametric 3D-fitted Frames for Packaging Heritage Artefacts
(The Eurographics Association, 2012)Packing fragile heritage artefacts is a challenge almost all heritage organisations have to deal with when faced with the task of transporting or storing the artefacts. The packaging solution requires fitting the artefact ... -
Petroglyph Classification using the Image Distortion Model
(The Eurographics Association, 2012)Petroglyphs are prehistoric engravings in stone unrevealing stories of ancient life and describing a conception of the world transmitted till today. The great number of sites and the high variability in the artifacts makes ... -
PileBars: Scalable Dynamic Thumbnail Bars
(The Eurographics Association, 2012)We introduce PileBars, a new class of animated thumbnail-bars supporting browsing of large image datasets (hundreds or thousands of images). Since the bar is meant to be just one element of a GUI, it covers only a small ... -
Semantically Rich 3D Documentation for the Preservation of Tangible Heritage
(The Eurographics Association, 2012)Traditionally, 3D acquisition technologies have been used to record heritage artefacts and to support specific tasks such as conservation or provenance verification. These exercises are usually a one-off as the technology ... -
Structuring and Embedding Image Captions: the V.I.F. Multi-modal System
(The Eurographics Association, 2012)Within the context of historical photographic annotated collections, we observe the frequent occurrence of some subsets of important characters, usually described in captions. For many years, image captions were annotated ... -
Vectorising Building Footprints From Historic Maps
(The Eurographics Association, 2012)Historic maps provide fascinating insights into the growth and development of cities over large time periods, and often the places they document have changed dramatically since their creation. However, rasterised image ...
