We propose a workflow of tools and procedures to reconstruct an existing archaeological site as a virtual 3D reconstitution in a large scale immersive system. This interdisciplinary endeavor, gathering archaeologists and virtual reality computer scientists, is the first step of a joint research project with three objectives: (i) propose a common workflow to reconstruct archaeological sites as 3...

A number of conservation projects including World Heritage sites are underway in Lahore Pakistan. The most important concern for conservation of these monuments is to maintain authenticity in all aspects. Although we conserve, preserve and restore monuments we often neglect the aspects of authenticity from different angles. The paper will focus on three case studies built around 1640’s namely S...

The work described in this paper wants to underline the necessity to integrate the laser scanning technique and photogrammetry in order to improve the geometry and visual quality of the collected 3D model. Although the 3D model produced by laser scanning contains a large number of meshed triangles, it can still be difficult to localize important features like the edges and cracks on the monumen...
