Improved Appearance Rendering for Photogrammetrically Acquired 3D Models
(IEEE, 2015)In this paper we present a technique for significantly improved rendering of objects scanned using photogrammetry techniques. We demonstrate the connection between photogrammetry and the unstructured lumigraph, a surface ... -
The Etruscans and the Afterlife - An Engaging Exhibition with Accurate Scientific, Technological and Communicative Requirements
(IEEE, 2015)The communication of museums, with the aim to engage and attract a wider audience, is undergoing a radical change, seeking in ICT a help. The joint exhibition ''The Etruscans and the Afterlife'', hosted by the National ... -
Digital Study and Web-based Documentation of the Colour and Gilding on Ancient Marble Artworks
(IEEE, 2015)Greek and Roman marble artworks have been deeply studied from a typological and stylistic point of view, while there is still a limited knowledge on the pigments, dyes, binders and technical expedients used by Roman artists. ... -
Near Light Correction for Image Relighting and 3D Shape Recovery
(IEEE, 2015)In this paper, we propose a near-light illumination model for image relighting and 3D shape recovery. Classic methods such as used by the popular RTI software from Cultural Heritage Imaging assume that lighting is infinitely ... -
