Mosaic Rendering using Colored Paper
(The Eurographics Association, 2006)This paper proposes a new method of simulating colored paper mosaic using computer graphics technologies. This new method focuses on two problems that need to be taken care of in order to simulate colored paper mosaic. The ... -
Multi-Resolution Digital 3D Imaging System Applied to the Recording of Grotto Sites: the Case of the Grotta dei Cervi
(The Eurographics Association, 2006)The Grotta dei Cervi is a complex and fragile Neolithic cave where human presence left a large number of unique pictographs and petroglyphs. Detailed documentation necessitates recording it at different levels of details ... -
Multi-Spectral Laser Scanning for Inspection of Building Surfaces - State of the Art and Future Concepts
(The Eurographics Association, 2006)The Federal Institute for Materials Research and Testing (BAM) developed a multi-spectral laser scanner to demonstrate the advantages of such systems for the inspection of building surfaces. It is shown that damage of ... -
New Reflection Transformation Imaging Methods for Rock Art and Multiple-Viewpoint Display
(The Eurographics Association, 2006)We offer two new methods of documenting and communicating cultural heritage information using Reflection Transformation Imaging (RTI). One imaging method is able to acquire Polynomial Texture Maps (PTMs) of 3D rock art ... -
On the Digital Reconstruction and Interactive Presentation of Heritage Sites through Time
(The Eurographics Association, 2006)Virtual time travel from existing remains of a heritage site to its previous states and original condition is an educational and interesting experience and can provide better understanding of history. However, digitally ... -
Ontological Modelling for Archaeological Data
(The Eurographics Association, 2006)The need to investigate an archaeological context causes the inevitable destruction of the upper strata in favour of the lower ones. On-site research activity therefore translates into a documentation activity (forms/pho ... -
An Ontology for 3D Cultural Objects
(The Eurographics Association, 2006)3D cultural objects are digital 3D replicas of objects having a cultural value, as models of artefacts, reconstructions of buildings, sites and landscapes. As such, they have a twofold nature, and inherit properties both ... -
A Parametric Exploration of the Lighting Method of the Hagia Sophia Dome
(The Eurographics Association, 2006)Byzantine church design depended heavily on natural light for the generation of evocative effects supportive of the liturgical acts taking place in it. It appears that there were several effects coordinated in order to ... -
Procedural 3D Reconstruction of Puuc Buildings in Xkipché
(The Eurographics Association, 2006)This paper examines how architectural shape grammars can be used to procedurally generate 3D reconstructions of an archaeological site. The Puuc-style buildings found in Xkipché, Mexico, were used as a test-case. We first ... -
Real-time Animation of Various Flame Shapes
(The Eurographics Association, 2006)Working on the computer reconstruction of the Gallo-Roman forum of Bavay, we try to improve the feeling of immersion in the virtual environment. One way to achieve this is to provide realistic and dynamic light sources. ... -
Reflecting on the Creation of an Authentic Aural Experience in the Digital Songlines Game Engine: Part of a Contextualised Cultural Heritage Knowledge Toolkit
(The Eurographics Association, 2006)Digital Songlines is an Australasian Cooperative Research Centre for Interaction Design (ACID) project that is developing protocols, methodologies and toolkits to facilitate the collection, education and sharing of indigenous ... -
Restoration of Color in Noh Masks Based on Retinex Algorithm
(The Eurographics Association, 2006)Noh is a famous traditional Japanese dramatic art. The restoration of ancient Noh masks is an important aspect of the preservation of cultural heritage. In this paper, we developed a technique based on Retinex algorithm ... -
Terrestrial Laser Scanner and High-Resolution Camera Registration through Single Image-Based Modeling
(The Eurographics Association, 2006)This paper deals with an important topic: the automatic co-registration of terrestrial laser scanner data and high-resolution digital images. Our approach harnesses the power of a single image-based modeling method developed ... -
Towards a Photogrammetry and Virtual Reality Based Heritage Information System: A Case Study of Shawbak Castle in Jordan
(The Eurographics Association, 2006)The paper presents an interdisciplinary project which is the first step towards a 3D Geographical Information System (GIS) dedicated to Cultural Heritage with a specific focus application on the Castle of Shawbak, also ... -
Watermarking and Digital Rights Management - A Pilot DRM System Implementation and Technical Guidelines to Cultural Digitization Projects
(The Eurographics Association, 2006)The issue addressed in this paper is at first a brief presentation of the Technical Guidelines for IPR protection and management applied to Greek cultural digitization projects. Secondly, the work focuses on the analysis ... -
WWW-Based Building Information System for "Domus Severiana" Palace at Palatine in Rome by Open Source Software
(The Eurographics Association, 2006)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 ...
