Development of ladder-type laser scanning system for 3-D modeling of large-scale cultural heritages

Abstract: In this paper, we propose a novel type of 3-D scanning system named Ladder-type laser scanning system. This system was designed for scanning narrow and vertically stalky spaces. The climbing sensor equips a platform with two line scanners on a lift, and they scan the whole target while the lift moves vertically. By using spatio-temporal range image we can accurately calculate the spee...

Application of calcifying bacteria for remediation of stones and cultural heritages

Since ages, architects and artists worldwide have focused on usage of durable stones as marble and limestone for construction of beautiful and magnificent historic monuments as European Cathedrals, Roman, and Greek temples, Taj Mahal etc. But survival of these irreplaceable cultural and historical assets is in question these days due to their degradation and deterioration caused by number of bi...

Metaverse Loop-String Cosmology

Most theories of everything (TOEs) like string theory are based on physics. But there are as well TOEs based on "mathematics" being fundamental to a reality based on science. In particular, one math-TOE is based on the discrete natural numbers famously used by Godel to derive his Incompleteness Theorems. Such math computational theories (math-comp) assume that the comp-machine has an infinite c...

Towards The Digital Archive of Cultural Heritages –Preservation and Restoration of Ancestral Assets through Observation–

We present an overview of our project to construct a digital archive of cultural heritages. Among the efforts in our project, in this paper, we briefly overview our research on geometric and photometric preservation of cultural assets and restoration of their original appearance. Digital geometric modeling is achieved through a pipeline consisting of scanning, registering and merging multiple r...
