    • Large-scale Immersive Reconstitution of a Neolithic Corbel Dome 

      Gaugne, Ronan; Barreau, Jean-Baptiste; Cousseau, Florian; Gouranton, Valérie (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 

      Sá, Asla M.; Echavarria, Karina Rodriguez; Griffin, Martin; Covill, Derek; Kaminski, Jaime; Arnold, David (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 

      Deufemia, Vincenzo; Paolino, Luca; Lumley, Henry de (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 

      Brivio, Paolo; Tarini, Marco; Ponchio, Federico; Cignoni, Paolo; Scopigno, Roberto (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 

      Echavarria, Karina Rodriguez; Theodoridou, Maria; Georgis, Christos; Arnold, David; Doerr, Martin; Stork, Andre; Serna, Sebastian Peña (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 

      Vasconcelos, Cristina N.; Sá, Asla M.; Sá, Marcio I.; Carvalho, Paulo Cezar P. (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 ...
