CHER-ish: A Sketch- and Image-based System for 3D Representation and Documentation of Cultural Heritage Sites
(The Eurographics Association, 2017)We present a work-in-progress report on a sketch- and image-based software called ''CHER-ish'' designed to help make sense of the cultural heritage data associated with sites within 3D space. The software is based on the ... -
Reproduction of Gloss, Color and Relief of Paintings using 3D Scanning and 3D Printing
(The Eurographics Association, 2017)High fidelity reproductions of paintings provide new opportunities to museums in preserving and providing access to cultural heritage. This paper presents an integrated system which is able to capture and fabricate color, ... -
Educational Virtual Reality Visualisations of Heritage Sites
(The Eurographics Association, 2017)This paper discusses the use of games engines to create virtual heritage applications. The use of 3D software for cultural or heritage applications is discussed with reference to the capabilities and potential of games ... -
Kyrenia - Hyper Storytelling Pilot Application
(The Eurographics Association, 2017)A team of multidisciplinary experts from computer science, visual arts, literature, film directing, psychology, communicology and human computer interaction developed a new interactive digital storytelling method - hyper ... -
Projecting our Past to the Future - Challenges and Results: The Case of Asinou church
(The Eurographics Association, 2017)In this paper, we present some of the novel results of the Marie Curie Initial Training Network for Digital Cultural Heritage (ITN-DCH) project, describing briefly the work done focusing on the project's first case study: ... -
Streamlining the Preparation of Scanned 3D Artifacts to Support Digital Analysis and Processing: the GRAVITATE Case Study
(The Eurographics Association, 2017)Digitally acquired 3D models of cultural assets are not always ready for further processing. Sometimes, the digital surface presents geometric or topological defects that may hinder downstream surface analysis algorithms. ... -
A Dashboard for the Analysis of Tangible Heritage Artefacts: a Case Study in Archaeology
(The Eurographics Association, 2017)Digital manipulation and analysis of tangible cultural objects has the potential to bring about a revolution in the way classification, stylistic analysis, and refitting of fragments are handled in the cultural heritage ... -
The ArchAIDE Project: Results and Perspectives After the First Year
(The Eurographics Association, 2017)The ArchAIDE project is a Horizon 2020 project that has the main goal to digitally support the day-to-day operations on the field of archaeologists. This allows them to reduce time and costs of delivering an accurate and ... -
Exploiting Unbroken Surface Congruity for the Acceleration of Fragment Reassembly
(The Eurographics Association, 2017)Virtual reassembly problems are often encountered in the cultural heritage domain. The reassembly or "puzzling" problem is typically described as the process for the identification of corresponding pieces within a part ... -
An Inclusive Approach to Digital Heritage: Preliminary Achievements Within the INCEPTION Project
(The Eurographics Association, 2017)At the end of the second year of activity and after having completed the first steps in the development of its main goals, the project "INCEPTION - Inclusive Cultural Heritage in Europe through 3D Semantic Modelling" is ... -
Automatic Transfer of Landmarks on Human Skulls using GPU-based Non-rigid Registration
(The Eurographics Association, 2017)In this work, we present a novel approach to automatically transfer landmarks from a template mesh of a human skull to other meshes obtained via 3D scanning. Since previous methods rely on user input or only work on a ... -
Pairwise Matching of Stone Tools Based on Flake-Surface Contour Points and Normals
(The Eurographics Association, 2017)Stone tools constitute the main artifacts facilitating archaeological research of the Paleolithic era. The reassembly of stone tools is the most important research work for analyzing human activities of that period. In ... -
Cross-modal Content-based Retrieval for Digitized 2D and 3D Cultural Heritage Artifacts
