3D Reconstruction and Virtual Exploration of Submerged Structures: a Case Study in the Underwater Archaeological Site of Baia (Italy)
(The Eurographics Association, 2012)The 3D reconstruction of underwater scenes is almost a requirement for a number of applications that need to gather 3D data from fauna, flora or submerged structures. In the Cultural Heritage field, 3D models of finds and ... -
Digital Techniques for Etruscan Graves: the Etruscanning Project
(The Eurographics Association, 2012)Etruscanning is a project founded by the European Commission and it focuses on the investigation of new digitization and presentation techniques, in order to re-create the original context of the Etruscan graves. Several ... -
Developing Open-Source Software for Art Conservators
(The Eurographics Association, 2012)Art conservators now have access to a wide variety of digital imaging techniques to assist in examining and documenting physical works of art. Commonly used techniques include hyperspectral imaging, 3D scanning and medical ... -
Parametric 3D-fitted Frames for Packaging Heritage Artefacts
(The Eurographics Association, 2012)Packing fragile heritage artefacts is a challenge almost all heritage organisations have to deal with when faced with the task of transporting or storing the artefacts. The packaging solution requires fitting the artefact ... -
Archaeological Field Documentation and Architectonic Analysis - a 3D Approach. Ein Zippori as Study Case
(The Eurographics Association, 2012)A key element in any archaeological excavation is an accurate recording of the excavated material. Since the ar-chaeological process by itself is one of destruction, the need for an accurate documentation becomes even more ... -
Insourcing, Outsourcing and Crowdsourcing 3D Collection Formation: Perspectives for Cultural Heritage Sites
(The Eurographics Association, 2012)This paper presents three different propositions for cultural heritage organisations on how to digitise objects in 3D. It is based on the practical evaluation of three different deployment experiments that use different ... -
Building Scholar e-communities Using a Semantically Aware Framework: Archaia Kypriaki Grammateia Digital Corpus
(The Eurographics Association, 2012)Web-based learning communities have developed into a very popular vehicle for sharing information amongst students, researchers and enthusiastic users and are slowly gaining importance in the humanities field. Unfortunately, ... -
Authoring Animated Interactive 3D Museum Exhibits using a Digital Repository
(The Eurographics Association, 2012)We present the prototype of a software system to streamline the serial production of simple interactive 3D animations for the display in museum exhibitions. We propose dividing the authoring process in two phases, a designer ... -
Large-scale Immersive Reconstitution of a Neolithic Corbel Dome
(The Eurographics Association, 2012)We propose a workflow of tools and procedures to reconstruct an existing archaeological site as a virtual 3D reconstitution in a large scale immersive system. This interdisciplinary endeavor, gathering archaeologists and ... -
Interactive Exploration of Gigantic Point Clouds on Mobile Devices
(The Eurographics Association, 2012)New embedded CPUs that sport powerful graphics chipsets have the potential to make complex 3D applications feasible on mobile devices. In this paper, we present a scalable architecture and its implementation for mobile ... -
PileBars: Scalable Dynamic Thumbnail Bars
(The Eurographics Association, 2012)We introduce PileBars, a new class of animated thumbnail-bars supporting browsing of large image datasets (hundreds or thousands of images). Since the bar is meant to be just one element of a GUI, it covers only a small ... -
Semantically Rich 3D Documentation for the Preservation of Tangible Heritage
(The Eurographics Association, 2012)Traditionally, 3D acquisition technologies have been used to record heritage artefacts and to support specific tasks such as conservation or provenance verification. These exercises are usually a one-off as the technology ... -
Interactive Semantic Enrichment of 3D Cultural Heritage Collections
(The Eurographics Association, 2012)Virtual Surrogates of Cultural Heritage (CH) objects are seriously being considered in professional activities such as conservation and preservation, exhibition planning, packing, and scholarly research, among many other ... -
Structuring and Embedding Image Captions: the V.I.F. Multi-modal System
(The Eurographics Association, 2012)Within the context of historical photographic annotated collections, we observe the frequent occurrence of some subsets of important characters, usually described in captions. For many years, image captions were annotated ... -
Vectorising Building Footprints From Historic Maps
(The Eurographics Association, 2012)Historic maps provide fascinating insights into the growth and development of cities over large time periods, and often the places they document have changed dramatically since their creation. However, rasterised image ... -
Automatic Image Selection in Photogrammetric Multi-view Stereo Methods
(The Eurographics Association, 2012)This paper brings together a team of specialists in optical metrology, museum curation, collection digitization and 3D development to describe and illustrate by example a method for the selection of the most suitable camera ... -
Petroglyph Classification using the Image Distortion Model
(The Eurographics Association, 2012)Petroglyphs are prehistoric engravings in stone unrevealing stories of ancient life and describing a conception of the world transmitted till today. The great number of sites and the high variability in the artifacts makes ...
