Semantic Structuring and 3D Modeling of Masonry Structure
(The Eurographics Association, 2016)Studies of architectural heritage require tight control over spatial data. It is an prerequisite for the representation, analysis, conservation and structural restoration of architectural heritage. As regards the morphology ... -
Using Flash Photography and Image-Based Rendering to Document Cultural Heritage Artifacts
(The Eurographics Association, 2016)A novel image-based rendering system is proposed for documenting cultural heritage artifacts. The system utilizes backscattering photography to acquire the initial pictures and derives estimates for the object's diffuse ... -
A Practical Reflectance Transformation Imaging Pipeline for Surface Characterization in Cultural Heritage
(The Eurographics Association, 2016)We present a practical acquisition and processing pipeline to characterize the surface structure of cultural heritage objects. Using a free-form Reflectance Transformation Imaging (RTI) approach, we acquire multiple digital ... -
3-D Digital Preservation of At-Risk Global Cultural Heritage
(The Eurographics Association, 2016)Recent current events have dramatically highlighted the vulnerability of the world's material cultural heritage. The 3-D Digital Preservation of At-Risk Global Cultural Heritage project, led by Thomas Levy at UC San Diego, ... -
3D in-world Telepresence With Camera-Tracked Gestural Interaction
(The Eurographics Association, 2016)While many education institutes use Skype, Google Chat or other commercial video-conferencing applications, these applications are not suitable for presenting architectural or urban design or archaeological information, ... -
Interactive 3D Exploration of a Virtual Sculpture Collection: an Analysis of User Behavior in Museum Settings
(The Eurographics Association, 2016)We present a usage analysis of an interactive system for the exploration of highly detailed 3D models of a collection of protostoric mediterranean sculptures. In this system, after selecting the object of interest inside ... -
Color Restoration of Scanned Archaeological Artifacts with Repetitive Patterns
(The Eurographics Association, 2016)Our work addresses the problem of virtually restoring archaeological artifacts. Virtual restoration is the process of creating a noise-free model of a degraded object, to visualize its original appearance. Our work focuses ... -
2D/3D Semantic Annotation of Spatialized Images for the Documentation and Analysis of Cultural Heritage
(The Eurographics Association, 2016)The introduction of digital technologies in the documentation methods for cultural heritage has helped to design new tools for the acquisition and management of information collected for multidisciplinary studies. These ... -
Wall Painting Reconstruction Using a Genetic Algorithm
(The Eurographics Association, 2016)Global reconstruction of two-dimensional wall paintings (frescoes) from fragments is an important problem for many archaeological sites. The goal is to find the global position and rotation for each fragment so that all ... -
Feature Identification in Archaeological Fragments Using Families of Algebraic Curves
(The Eurographics Association, 2016)A method is proposed to identify and localize semantic features like anatomical characteristics or decorations on digital artefacts or fragments, even if the features are partially damaged or incomplete. This technique is ... -
Web-based Exploration of Semantically Rich 3D Decorative Ornament
(The Eurographics Association, 2016)The aim of this research is to document and provide easy access and exploration to 3D decorative ornament, in order to support its preservation and reuse in future products. The research focuses on the Regency style of ... -
A Complete Workflow From the Data Collection on the Field to the Deployment of a Virtual Museum: the Case of Virtual Sarmizegetusa
(The Eurographics Association, 2016)This paper presents the first installation produced with the data collected on the ancient roman city of Colonia Dacica Sarmizegetusa: it can be considered a concrete example of a full workflow, from photogrammetric 3D ... -
Experience Etruria: a Cross-media Platform for E-culture and Tourism
(The Eurographics Association, 2016)Experience Etruria aims at promoting the Italian Latium, Tuscany and Umbria regions starting from their common Etruscan roots, their landscape and food and wine wonders. The project includes a web portal, a downloadable ... -
Reflecting on European History with the Help of Technology: The CrossCult Project
(The Eurographics Association, 2016)History, and in particular European history, is not merely a collection of unconnected events, but rather a complex mesh of interrelated facts, events and concepts, taking place within a wider context of previous and ... -
4D Virtual Reconstruction of White Bastion Fortress
(The Eurographics Association, 2016)White bastion fortress has been standing in defense of Sarajevo since medieval period. In time it was changing together with various dominations upon the city. 4D virtual presentation aims to display the historical development ... -
The Missing Scholarship Behind Virtual Heritage Infrastructures
(The Eurographics Association, 2016)This theoretical position paper outlines four key issues blocking the development of effective 3D models that would be suitable for the aims and objectives of virtual heritage infrastructures. It suggests that a real-time ... -
Scan4Reco: Towards the Digitized Conservation of Cultural Heritage Assets via Spatiotemporal (4D) Reconstruction and 3D Printing
(The Eurographics Association, 2016)The European Cultural Heritage includes a rich variety of cultural items and a significant amount of resources is devoted to their conservation and dissemination to the public. Living in the era of digitization, these ... -
A Soft Union based Method for Virtual Restoration and 3D Printing of Cultural Heritage Objects
(The Eurographics Association, 2016)Recent improvements in 3D acquisition and shape processing methods lead to increased digitization of 3D Cultural Heritage (CH) objects. Beyond the mere digital archival of CH artifacts, there is an emerging research area ... -
