Digital Reconstruction of Fragmented Artifacts

(EN) We describe an ongoing research project on efficient methods for identification and reconstruction of broken objects among large collections of irregular fragments. Applications include archaeology, art restoration, failure analysis, and other disciplines. Our solution for flat objects uses multi-scale matching and constrained dynamic programming. We are now extending it to curved pottery ...

Digital radiography artifacts.

Radiographic artifacts may mimic a clinical feature, impair image quality, or obscure abnormalities. With the development of digital radiography (DR), a new set of artifacts is introduced. Regardless of the technology, the classic technical errors that occur with film screen radiography still occur using DR. Artifacts created using computed radiography, DR, and incorrect image processing are di...

The Ambivalent Ontology of Digital Artifacts

Digital artifacts are embedded in wider and constantly shifting ecosystems such that they become increasingly editable, interactive, reprogrammable, and distributable. This state of flux and constant transfiguration renders the value and utility of these artifacts contingent on shifting webs of functional relations with other artifacts across specific contexts and organizations. By the same tok...

Innovative Use of Opsite Flexigrid™ for Digital Photography in Rhinoplasty

Standardization of photography in plastic surgery is fundamental for pre-operative surgical planning, comparative post-operative assessment, and demonstration of surgical results.1 In rhinoplasty, slight changes in patient or camera position can lessen nasal hump, vary nose size, and alter skin tension.2 In order to prevent these common errors, photographic standardization with high-quality equ...
