Multi-modal tomography to assess dechlorination treatments of iron-based archaeological artifacts

Digitization and Reconstruction of Archaeological Artifacts

We describe an ongoing research project on efficient methods for reconstruction of objects from large collections of irregular fragments, such as ancient pottery, collapsed murals, etc.. Our solution for flat objects uses multiscale matching and constrained dynamic programming, and we are now extending it to curved pottery fragments. We seek collaborative projects with museums and other potenti...

Management of multi-modal data using the Fuzzy Hough Transform: Application to archaeological simulation

Management of multi-modal data is a classical problem in data mining and exploration. Geographic Information Systems usually store multi-modal data and employ them in spatial and image analysis. This paper proposes a fusion of multi-modal data in the context of line detection with Fuzzy Hough Transform (FHT). The goal of this work is to simulate the Roman streets according to periods from parti...

Computed tomography based attenuation correction in PET/CT: Principles, instrumentation, protocols, artifacts and future trends

  The advent of dual-modality PET/CT imaging has revolutionized the practice of clinical oncology, cardiology and neurology by improving lesions localization and the possibility of accurate quantitative analysis. In addition, the use of CT images for CT-based attenuation correction (CTAC) allows to decrease the overall scanning time and to create a noise-free attenuat...
