Virtual Restoration of Fragmented Glass Plate Photographs of Archaeological Repertoires
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper describes a virtual restoration pipeline for the broken glass plates in the fund of the Department of Archaeological, Philological and Historical Studies of Catania University. This archive includes rare images of the excavation activities of the Department in Sicily and Greece. Several of the plates are damaged and fractured and require virtual realignment and restoration. We adapted to this case a restoration algorithm based on the use of image processing techniques. The algorithm enhance the quality of scanned images, and subsequently performs a rigid registration and realignment of the fragments. A final application of inpainting techniques fills the gaps.

متن کاملViewpoint-based Search and Browse of Digital Archive Content
We propose new search and browse methods that use three-dimensional (3D) viewpoints as queries of digital archive content. The idea is that by linking 3D models and photographs via spatial information, the view point in particular, we can use them as a reference for each other when browsing photographs and/or information, or walking through the 3D virtual space. A 3D viewpointbased approach is ...
