      The paper deals with the management of archaeological data from excavations that cannot be easily processed using traditional forms and relational databases. It proposes a way of preserving the integrity of original ...
    • Interaction with Replicas of Small Pieces: Using Complementary Technologies to Maximize Visitors' Experience 

      Figueroa, Pablo; Londoño, Eduardo; Boulanger, Pierre; Prieto, Flavio; Coral, Mauricio; Borda, Juan; Vega, Felipe; Restrepo, Diego (The Eurographics Association, 2009)
      Current technologies for digitizing artifacts allow us to create compelling virtual installations, in which visitors learn about them through playing and exploring virtual proxies. However, different technologies enhance ...
    • Analysis of Document Snippets as a Basis for Reconstruction 

      Diem, Markus; Kleber, Florian; Sablatnig, Robert (The Eurographics Association, 2009)
      In Archaeography, Philology, Forensics, and related research areas fragments of documents are very common. These fragments are the basis for the subsequent reconstruction process, where the goal is to make the original ...
    • Last House on the Hill: Digitally Remediating Data and Media for Preservation and Access 

      Ashley, Michael; Tringham, Ruth; Perlingieri, Cinzia (The Eurographics Association, 2009)
      The idea of embedding, interweaving, entangling and otherwise linking the data and media from archaeological excavations with their interpretation and meaningful presentation in an open access sharable platform has long ...
    • Optimized Image Sampling for View and Light Interpolation 

      Gunawardane, Prabath; Wang, Oliver; Scher, Steven; Rickards, Ian; Davis, James; Malzbender, Tom (The Eurographics Association, 2009)
      Accurate virtual reconstruction of real world objects has long been a desired goal of image-based computer graphics. Usually this involves a lengthy capture process where an object is photographed from different viewpoints ...
    • Publishing 3D Content as PDF in Cultural Heritage 

      Strobl, Martin; Berndt, René; Settgast, Volker; Havemann, Sven; Fellner, Dieter W. (The Eurographics Association, 2009)
      Sharing 3D models with embedded annotations and additional information in a generally accessible way still is a major challange. Using 3D technology must become much easier, in particular in areas such as Cultural Heritage, ...
    • Artifacts Removal for Color Projection on 3D Models using Flash Light 

      Dellepiane, Matteo; Callieri, Marco; Corsini, Massimiliano; Cignoni, Paolo; Scopigno, Roberto (The Eurographics Association, 2009)
      Abstract Lighting artifacts are one of the main issues in digital photography: complex light setups are needed to attenuate or remove them. Flash light is a very easy way to illuminate an object or an environment, but it ...
    • Pushing Time-of-Flight Scanners to the Limit
