Visualising an Egyptian Artefact in 3D: Comparing RTI with Laser Scanning
نویسنده
چکیده
3D digital representations of an ancient Egyptian artefact were compared for their rendering of surface detail. Normals were generated by three methods: (1) point clouds from the Arius 3D colour scanner; (2) reflectance transform imaging (RTI); (3) photometric stereo. The latter two were constructed from sets of 64 digital images taken under directional lighting in a hemispherical dome. Analysis of the 3D surface normals of corresponding sections of each object indicated that the photometric stereo method produced the best resolution of spatial detail.

Imaging the Egyptian Obelisk at Kingston Lacy
The obelisk that stands in the grounds of the National Trust property at Kingston Lacy, Dorset, was brought from Egypt in 1821 by William John Bankes. Known as the Philae obelisk, it has hieroglyphic inscriptions on the tapered granite column and Greek on the pedestal. In a multidisciplinary project to mark the success of the Philae comet mission, the inscriptions have been digitised by both re...
متن کاملInfosphere: One Artefact, Two Metaphors, Three Sort Criteria
Because investigations about sites or artefacts require collecting and sorting out distributed and heterogeneous pieces of information, the handling of these pieces of information has, with the development of information technologies, opened a number of research issues. We focus here on the interfacing of collections through visual means. We introduce Infosphere, an experimental disposal aimed ...

متن کاملScanning and Processing 3D Objects for Web Display
We present a case study of scanning 3D objects for the purposes of education and public information. We begin by describing the original design of a 3D scanning system now in use in Cairo’s Egyptian Museum. The system captures both the geometry and surface color and detail of museum artifacts. We report on the experience using the system in the museum setting, and how practical problems with th...
متن کاملAn Invented Approach in Image Registration “new Era in Photogrammetry”
This paper will discuss an invented approach which focuses on providing an output from registration of an aerial photograph on a 3D model such as DTM, DMS, or 3D model. The approach has been developed in order to omit distortions from output and to increase the reliability. In contrast of other image registration methods which their outputs are an image, this approach provide a 3D model which c...
