      Cohen, Jonathan; Duncan, Donald; Snyder, Dean; Cooper, Jerrold; Kumar, Subodh; Hahn, Daniel; Chen, Yuan; Purnomo, Budirijanto; Graettinger, John (The Eurographics Association, 2004)
      Advances in digital technology for the graphic and textual representation of manuscripts have not, until recently, been applied to the world's oldest manuscripts, cuneiform tablets. This is due in large part both to the ...

    • The Shotton River and Mesolithic Dwellings: Recreating the Past from Geo-Seismic Data Sources 

      Chang, Eugene; Stone, Robert J.; Arvanitis, Theodoros N. (The Eurographics Association, 2004)
      The Mesolithic Period in Europe has been a much-discussed area in archaeological research. As far as is known, the project reported herein represents the first attempt to visualise an otherwise inaccessible Mesolithic site ...

    • Image-Based Registration of 3D-Range Data Using Feature Surface Elements 

      Bendels, Gerhard Heinrich; Degener, Patrick; Wahl, Roland; Körtgen, Marcel; Klein, Reinhard (The Eurographics Association, 2004)
      Digitizing real-life objects via range scanners, stereo vision or tactile sensors usually requires the composition of multiple range images. In this paper we exploit intensity images often recorded with the range data and ...

    • Digital representation and multimodal presentation of archeological graffiti at Pompei 

      Balzani, M.; Callieri, M.; Fabbri, M.; Fasano, A.; Montani, C.; Pingi, P.; Santopuoli, N.; Scopigno, R.; Uccelli, F.; Varone, A. (The Eurographics Association, 2004)
      Graffiti is a special form of art which gives us important knowledge on culture and social life of a lost civilization. Unfortunately, they are usually engraved on soft and non durable materials. The project described here ...

    • Generation of High-Resolution Mosaic for Photo-Realistic Texture-Mapping of Cultural Heritage 3D Models 

      Remondino, Fabio; Niederoest, Jana (The Eurographics Association, 2004)
      The work investigates the problem of how information contained in different overlapping images of a scene can be combined to produce larger images of higher quality. The resulted images can be used for different applications ...

    • A Point-Based Approach for Capture, Display and Illustration of Very Complex Archeological Artefacts 

      Duguet, Florent; Drettakis, George; Girardeau-Montaut, Daniel; Martinez, Jean-Luc; Schmitt, Francis (The Eurographics Association, 2004)
      In this paper we present a complete point-based pipeline for the capture, display and illustration of very large scans of archeological artifacts. This approach was developed as part of a project involving archeologists ...

    • The potential of internet-based techniques for heritage interpretation 

      Kreisel, W.; Gee, K.; Dickmann, F. (The Eurographics Association, 2004)
      This paper deals with the use of internet-based techniques in the context of applied heritage interpretation, using an old industrial area in central Germany as a case study example. The paper sets out basic principles of ...

    • Developing the Tourism Aspects of a Cultural Route 

      Owen, Ruth; Buhalis, Dimitrios; Pletinckx, Daniël (The Eurographics Association, 2004)
      A cultural route links destinations that contain illustrations of a common theme, for example religion. It has been reported that the number of cultural routes are increasing. However, to date there is no evidence in the ...
