      Heritage sites (such as prehistoric burial cairns and standing stones) are prolific in Europe; although there is a wish to scan each of these sites, it would be time-consuming to achieve. Citizen science approaches enable ...
    • IBISA: Making Image-Based Identification of Ancient Coins Robust to Lighting Conditions 

      Marchand, Sylvain (The Eurographics Association, 2014)
      The IBISA (Image-Based Identification/Search for Archaeology) system manages databases of digital images of archaeological objects, e.g. ancient coins, and allows the user to perform searches by examples. IBISA was de- ...
    • Towards the Creation of Digital Stones from 2D Samples 

      Schellewald, Christian; Perakis, Panagiotis; Theoharis, Theoharis (The Eurographics Association, 2014)
      In order to decide which preservation strategies one should follow for Cultural Heritage objects made of stone, it is necessary to estimate the impact of different alternative strategies. A useful aid in such a process is ...
