3D Digitizing and Visualizing a Prehistoric Portable Art Object: a 12,000 Years Old "Bâton Percé"
(The Eurographics Association, 2010)In this paper, we present some results on 3D digitizing and visualizing a prehistoric portable art object. This 12,000 years old artifact was scanned with a surface scanner and with two volume scanners. With this last ... -
3D Pipeline from Data Acquisition to Data Visualization of the Hellenistic-Roman Theatre of Paphos
(The Eurographics Association, 2010)In this paper is described the fusion of two different technologies for the three dimensional acquisition of the Hellenistic-Roman Theatre of Paphos located at the island of Cyprus. A laser scanner and an innovative device ... -
3D Reconstruction of Archaeological Sites Using Photogrammetry
(The Eurographics Association, 2010)The 3D reconstructionof an archaeological site is a difficult task, taking into account the available documentation. Our team, supported by the TGE Adonis, is specialized in 3D reconstruction and conservation of 3D data. ... -
3D-Digitization of the ''Wild Goat'' Vases
(The Eurographics Association, 2010)The wild-goat vases are a style of Greek vases that have been crafted between the 7th and 6th century BC. The 3D-digitization of these vases has been ongoing at the C2RMF for a few years now. Different scanning techniques ... -
Architectural 3D Modeling for a 3D GIS Web-Based System
(The Eurographics Association, 2010)We describes a 3D GIS system entirely founded on Google Earth (GE), designed to make available on this platform high-quality 3D models of one of the architect Andrea Palladio, conceived as a metaphor for navigating through ... -
Automation in Multi-Image Spherical Photogrammetry for 3D Architectural Reconstructions
(The Eurographics Association, 2010)The derivation of 3D metric information from spherical images for interactive exploration and realistic 3D modeling is receiving great attention due to their high-resolution content, large field-of-view, lowcost, easiness, ... -
A Blender Open Pipeline for a 3D Animated Historical Short Film
(The Eurographics Association, 2011)''APA and the History of Bologna'' is the first 3D stereo movie made with Blender according to high philological standards and related to the history of an entire city with four different geo-referenced historical digital ... -
Browsing Historical Pompeian Watercolours Through a Google Earth-based Meta Interface: Luigi Bazzani's Exhibition
(The Eurographics Association, 2012)A Google-Earth-based meta interface provides the traditional text-based access to cultural repo DB with an easy and quick way for gaining insight into the full available data. Developed at Cineca for the Department of ... -
Cloud-based 3D Reconstruction of Cultural Heritage Monuments using Open Access Image Repositories
(The Eurographics Association, 2014)A large number of photographs of cultural heritage items and monuments is publicly available in various Open Access Image Repositories (OAIR) and social media sites. Metadata inserted by camera, user and host site may help ... -
Combining 3D Technologies in the Field of Cultural Heritage: Three Case Studies
(The Eurographics Association, 2011)The advantages of 3D technologies (3D digitisation, visualisation, 3D printing...) are recognised by various professions in the field of cultural heritage (CH). Today these technologies have been technologically improved ... -
Community-driven Generation of 3D and Augmented Web Content for Archaeology
(The Eurographics Association, 2014)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 ... -
Connecting Information as Navigation Paths for Exploring Digital Video Collections
(The Eurographics Association, 2011)The way information is presented to users is of great importance in today's digital world. This is especially true for data collections that are rich in information that is not always easily understood. In this paper we ... -
Content-based Retrieval of 3D Models using Generative Modeling Techniques
(The Eurographics Association, 2014)In this paper we present a novel 3D model retrieval approach based on generative modeling techniques. In our approach generative models are created by domain experts in order to describe 3D model classes. These generative ... -
Conveying Archaeological Contexts to Museum Visitors: Case Study Pergamon Exhibition
(The Eurographics Association, 2012)Reconnecting the audience of an exhibition to the archaeological context of ancient artefacts and explaining their reception histories is a great challenge. Employing digital devices to support the understanding of connections ... -
Critical Review of 3d Digitization Methods and Techniques Applied to the Field of Architectural Heritage: Methodological and Cognitive Issues
(The Eurographics Association, 2011)This article concentrates on the epistemological aspects of architectural survey. It offers a critical observation of the technologies used in the field of 3D digitization. More specifically, the study evaluates the way ... -
