Interactive virtual mummy dissections in a historical anatomic theatre
(The Eurographics Association, 2003)This paper presents an interactive projection-based application for visual exploration of virtual mummies. It is part of an exposition on the Cultural Heritage of the Egyptian Mummies in the Museum Gustavianum, in Uppsala. ... -
On the Interactive 3D Reconstruction of Iberian Vessels
(The Eurographics Association, 2003)Reconstructing vessels from sherds is a complex task, specially for hand made pottery. That is the case of the Iberian vessels. The reconstruction process can be done in three steps: orientation of the sherd, computing the ... -
Web-based visualization of virtual archaeological sites
(The Eurographics Association, 2003)We present a web-based visualization tool for archaeological sites that has been developed within the 3D Murale project. The problem of structuring the scene prior to visualization is addressed by an extension to the 3D ... -
Photorealism and Non-Photorealism in Virtual Heritage Representation
(The Eurographics Association, 2003)The area of virtual heritage has long been concentrated on generating digital reconstructions of historical or archaeological artefacts and sites with enough fidelity to be truly accurate representations of their real-world ... -
Design and Application of an Augmented Reality System for continuous, context-sensitive guided tours of indoor and outdoor cultural sites and museums
(The Eurographics Association, 2003)The exploitation of augmented reality and mobile computing for the implementation of context and locationsensitive tours of archaeological sites and museums is explored in this paper. The LIFEPLUS system is presented as a ... -
Genuine Archaeology and Real Computer Graphics
(The Eurographics Association, 2003)There are many places where archaeology and computer graphics meet, but perhaps it is time we identified where they really fit together. It may also be useful to follow this up with a consideration of how, since the ... -
High Fidelity Lighting of Knossos
(The Eurographics Association, 2003)Five kilometres from Heraklion, Crete is the Minoan Palace of Knossos. First discovered in 1878 by Minos Kalokairinos, the site today is most commonly associated with Sir Arthur Evans who bought the space in 1898 when ... -
Monticello Through the Window
(The Eurographics Association, 2003)We present a case study in the use of virtual environment technology for cultural heritage applications, describing a collaborative effort to construct two cultural heritage exhibits for a five month exhibition at the New ... -
Computer Aided Analysis of Underdrawings in Infrared Reflectograms
(The Eurographics Association, 2003)Recent developments in computer vision are providing powerful tools for the evaluation of data gathered by art historians and archaeologists. New camera hardware allows new insights into cultural heritage, especially if ... -
Visualisation of Highly Textured Surfaces
(The Eurographics Association, 2003)We address the main issues in real-time visualization and interactive manipulation of highly textured surfaces. For applications such as cultural heritage, achieving this will give a vista to scientists, conservationists, ... -
Animating the Dance Archives
(The Eurographics Association, 2003)Dance notation systems such as Labanotation provide a means to record the scores that are necessary for dance reconstruction and archival recording. To make Labanotation scores more accessible to dancers, choreographers ... -
Enhancing Virtual Reality Walkthroughs of Archaeological Sites
(The Eurographics Association, 2003)This paper describes the methodological aspects of the application of various established and new graphics techniques in virtual reality applications, in order to visually enrich conventional walkthroughs and extend the ... -
Managing the real with the virtual: A role for digital media recording in archaeological fieldwork
(The Eurographics Association, 2003)Recent innovations in digital media have allowed for a surge of new techniques to be applied to an old problem - how to record and archive the archaeological record and the process of archaeological fieldwork. Like many ... -
Multi-Platform Skeletal Visualisation and Reproduction in Stereolithography
(The Eurographics Association, 2003)Adapting well-known molecular visualisation packages to accommodate the display of skeletal human remains is discussed. Features of the system include rapid generation of surfaces, real-time manipulation, viewing of the ... -
Virtual Vessel Reconstruction from a Fragment s Profile
(The Eurographics Association, 2003)Every archaeological excavation must deal with a vast number of ceramic fragments. The documentation, administration and scientific processing of these fragments represent a temporal, personnel, and financial problem. Up ... -
New Approaches to Efficient Rendering of Complex Reconstructed Environments
(The Eurographics Association, 2003)The creation of complete reconstructions of populated urban environments are technically difficult tasks primarily due to economic constraints in the modeling phase: complex models need to keep rendering aspects in mind ... -
Digital Reunification of the Parthenon and its Sculptures
(The Eurographics Association, 2003)The location, condition, and number of the Parthenon sculptures present a considerable challenge to archeologists and researchers studying this monument. Although the Parthenon proudly stands on the Athenian Acropolis after ... -
Scholarly documentation through digital storytelling: opening the tomb of Ramsses II
(The Eurographics Association, 2003)Ramsses II's large but damaged tomb in Egypt's Valley of the Kings is now being revived by a French team (CNRS). Current excavation and study is meant to culminate not only in the tomb's first complete publication, but ... -
VCLab s Tools for 3D range data processing
(The Eurographics Association, 2003)Post-processing of 3D scanned data is still the bottleneck for a wider diffusion of this technology. In this paper we describe our second generation tools for processing 3D scanned data. In particular, our tools support: ... -
Modelling the Walled City of Nicosia
(The Eurographics Association, 2003)This paper presents our initial results in producing a 3D model of the Chrysaliniotisa Quarter in Nicosia using the GIS data of the region, and an analysis of the structure of the area s buildings. We tried to create a ...
