Global Consistency in the Automatic Assembly of Fragmented Artefacts
(The Eurographics Association, 2011)Automatic reconstruction of fragmented objects is of great interest in archaeology, where artefacts are often found in a fractured state. In this paper, we focus on the problem of automatically agglomerating clusters of ... -
Integrated High-Quality Acquisition of Geometry and Appearance for Cultural Heritage
(The Eurographics Association, 2011)Current research trends demonstrate that, for a wide range of applications in cultural heritage, 3D shape acquisition alone is not sufficient. To generate a digital replica of a real world object the digitized geometric ... -
Linking Evidence with Heritage Visualization using a large Scale Collaborative Interface
(The Eurographics Association, 2011)The virtual reconstruction of heritage sites and artefacts is a complicated task that requires researchers to gather and assess many different types of historical evidence which can vary widely in accuracy, authority, ... -
A Methodology for the Physically Accurate Visualisation of Roman Polychrome Statuary
(The Eurographics Association, 2011)This paper describes the design and implementation of a methodology for the visualisation and hypothetical virtual reconstruction of Roman polychrome statuary for research purposes. The methodology is intended as an attempt ... -
Point Cloud Segmentation for Cultural Heritage Sites
(The Eurographics Association, 2011)Over the past few years, the acquisition of 3D point information representing the structure of real-world objects has become common practice in many areas. This is particularly true in the Cultural Heritage (CH) domain, ... -
Preserving the Khmer Smile: Classifying and Restoring the Faces of Bayon
(The Eurographics Association, 2011)The Bayon temple is known for its numerous massive stone faces with serene smiles, often referred to as the 'Khmer Smile.' Many of these sculptures are, however, only partially preserved, making it difficult to see the ... -
Radiometric Characterization of Spectral Imaging for Textual Pigment Identification
(The Eurographics Association, 2011)Digital imaging of cultural heritage artifacts has become a standard practice. Typically, standard commercial cameras, often commodity rather than scientific grade cameras, are used for this purpose. Commercial cameras are ... -
Real-time Rendering of Massive Unstructured Raw Point Clouds using Screen-space Operators
(The Eurographics Association, 2011)Nowadays, 3D acquisition devices allow us to capture the geometry of huge Cultural Heritage (CH) sites, historical buildings and urban environments. We present a scalable real-time method to render this kind of models ... -
Reassembling Thin Artifacts of Unknown Geometry
(The Eurographics Association, 2011)We introduce a novel reassembly method for fragmented, thin objects that uses minimal user interaction. Unlike past methods, we do not make any restrictive assumptions about the geometry or texture of the object. To do so, ... -
Reconstructing and Exploring Massive Detailed Cityscapes
(The Eurographics Association, 2011)We present a state-of-the-art system for obtaining and exploring large scale three-dimensional models of urban landscapes. A multimodal approach to reconstruction fuses cadastral information, laser range data, and oblique ... -
A Repository for Heterogeneous and Complex Digital Cultural Objects
(The Eurographics Association, 2011)The paper proposes a solution for a repository of digital cultural objects, which can manage complex data as 3D objects, videos and more, together with the related metadata. The repository is built with open source components ... -
ROV-3D, 3D Underwater Survey Combining Optical and Acoustic Sensor
(The Eurographics Association, 2011)ROV 3D project aims at developing innovative tools which link underwater photogrammetry and acoustic measurements from an active underwater sensor. The results will be 3D high resolution surveys of underwater sites. The ... -
Virtual Heritage in the Cloud: New Perspectives for the Virtual Museum of Bologna
(The Eurographics Association, 2011)This paper focuses on the integration of Cloud computing tools and user-generated content into an online cultural virtual environment. Our investigation aimed to clarify whether the Metaverse can be used as a spatial ... -
VSim: Real-time Visualization of 3D Digital Humanities Content for Education and Collaboration
(The Eurographics Association, 2011)This paper presents VSim, a framework for the visualization of 3D architectural and archeological models. VSim's design focuses on educational use and scholarly collaboration, an approach that is not commonly found in ... -
WebGL-based Streaming and Presentation Framework for Bidirectional Texture Functions
(The Eurographics Association, 2011)Museums and Cultural Heritage institutions have a growing interest in presenting their collections to a broader community via the Internet. The photo-realistic presentation of interactively inspectable digital 3D replicas ...
