The Digital Michelangelo Project: creating a 3D archive of his sculptures using laser scanning
نویسنده
چکیده
As an application of this technology, we have embarked on a multi-year project to create a high-quality 3D computer archive of the sculptures and architecture of Michelangelo. As of this writing, we have scanned the David, the Unfinished Slaves, and the St. Matthew, all located in the Galleria dell'Accademia in Florence. In the coming weeks we will scan the statues and architecture of Michelangelo's Medici Chapel, also in Florence.

IEEE Computer Graphics and Applications 59 Because scanning devices are less expensive and easier to use than they were just a few years ago, a wide range of applications employ 3D scanning technology. As a result, various organizations can now produce models of cultural artifacts and works of art. Members of the National Research Council of Canada, developers of high-accuracy scanning equipmen...
متن کاملUsing optically scanned 3D data in the restoration of Michelangelo’s David
Modern 3D scanning technologies allow to reconstruct 3D digital representations of Cultural Heritage artifacts in a semi-automatic way, characterized by very high accuracy and wealth of details. The availability of an accurate digital representation opens several possibilities of utilization to experts (restorers, archivists, museum curators), or to ordinary people (students, museum visitors). ...
