Automated Archivation System for Pottery
نویسندگان
چکیده
Every archaeological excavation must deal with a vast number of ceramic fragments. The documentation, administration and scientific processing of these fragments represent a temporal, personnel, and financial problem. Up to now documentation and classification have been done manually which means a lot of routine work for archaeologists and a very inconsistent representation of the real object. First, there may be errors in the measuring process. (Diameter or height may be inaccurate), second, the drawing of the fragment should be in a consistent style, which is not possible since a drawing of an object without interpreting it is very hard to do.

Volume Computation of Archaeological Vessels
At excavations a large number of sherds of archaeological pottery is found. Since the documentation and administration of these fragments represent a temporal and personnel effort, we construct a computer aided documentation system for archaeological fragments to form the basis for a subsequent semiautomatic classification and reconstruction. The main technical goal of this project is to perfor...
متن کامل3D Reconstruction of Archaeological Pottery using Profile Primitives
The archivation process of ancient pottery is a very time consuming but important task for archaeologists. The basis for classification and reconstruction is the profile which is the cross section of the fragment in the direction of the rotational axis. In this work a bottom up design using a description language is the basis for the automatic classification and reconstruction. The description ...

متن کاملOn Estimating the Position of Fragments on Rotational Symmetric Pottery
The archivation of ancient vessel-fragments is a time consuming but important task for archaeologists. The basis for classification and reconstruction is the profile which is the cross-section of the fragment in the direction of the rotational axis of symmetry. Hence the position of a fragment (orientation) on a vessel is important. In this work the estimation of the axis of rotation out of ran...
