• Real-time Rendering of Massive Unstructured Raw Point Clouds using Screen-space Operators 

  Pintus, Ruggero; Gobbetti, Enrico; Agus, Marco (The Eurographics Association, 2011)

  Nowadays, 3D acquisition devices allow us to capture the geometry of huge Cultural Heritage (CH) sites, historical buildings and urban environments. We present a scalable real-time method to render this kind of models ...

• Federating Specialized Digital Libraries 

  Ronzino, Paola; Amico, Nicola; Niccolucci, Franco (The Eurographics Association, 2011)

• 3D-centered Media Linking and Semantic Enrichment through Integrated Searching, Browsing, Viewing and Annotating 

  Serna, Sebastian Pena; Scopigno, Roberto; Doerr, Martin; Theodoridou, Maria; Georgis, Christos; Ponchio, Federico; Stork, Andre (The Eurographics Association, 2011)

  The digitally documented world heritage is archived in databases or repositories, where collections of metadata, images, multimedia objects or nowadays even digital 3D artifacts can be stored and queried. Modeling and ...

• A Repository for Heterogeneous and Complex Digital Cultural Objects 

  Felicetti, Achille; Niccolucci, Franco (The Eurographics Association, 2011)

  The paper proposes a solution for a repository of digital cultural objects, which can manage complex data as 3D objects, videos and more, together with the related metadata. The repository is built with open source components ...

• Global Consistency in the Automatic Assembly of Fragmented Artefacts 

  Castañeda, Antonio García; Brown, Benedict; Rusinkiewicz, Szymon; Funkhouser, Thomas; Weyrich, Tim (The Eurographics Association, 2011)

• Reassembling Thin Artifacts of Unknown Geometry 

  Oxholm, Geoffrey; Nishino, Ko (The Eurographics Association, 2011)

  We introduce a novel reassembly method for fragmented, thin objects that uses minimal user interaction. Unlike past methods, we do not make any restrictive assumptions about the geometry or texture of the object. To do so, ...

• Documentation and Interpretation of an Archeological Excavation: an Experience with Dense Stereo Reconstruction Tools 

  Callieri, Marco; Dell'Unto, Nicolò; Dellepiane, Matteo; Scopigno, Roberto; Soderberg, Bengt; Larsson, Lars (The Eurographics Association, 2011)
