Abstract The famous tomb of Petosiris (a high priest Thoth) in the Tuna al Gebel necropolis on outskirts Middle Egyptian town Hermopolis Magna is dated by last quarter 4th c. bc . pictorial program tomb, decorated with painted reliefs, has no known parallels Ptolemaic art. In terms iconography and style reliefs rely both Greek artistic traditions. This study attempts to trace elements so-called...

Pictorial space is the 3-D impression that one obtains when looking 'into' a 2-D picture. One is aware of 3-D 'opaque' objects. 'Pictorial reliefs' are the surfaces of such pictorial objects in 'pictorial space'. Photographs (or any pictures) do in no way fully specify physical scenes. Rather, any photograph is compatible with an infinite number of possible scenes that may be called 'metameric ...

The present paper deals with a description and classification of the Achaemenid short sword akinakes. akinakes was most probably influenced by Scythians or Sakas. Hence, provides brief discussion on other types as well. There were longer examples used Scythians, but archaeological also their depictions stone reliefs tend to depict swords. Stone in Persepolis, Apadana, Persian sites show two One...

In the present work, functional properties of three different types regular microreliefs, formed by ball burnishing process on flat surfaces are evaluated. For their estimation, heights and material ratio curve’s criteria were used, according to international standard ISO 21920-2:2021. The influence relief’s type parameters surface investigated using full factors experimental design. Based obta...

During the surface surveys conducted in Şanlıurfa recent years, a large number of reliefs dating back to timeframe from 2 th B.C. 1th were discovered. Dağyamacı reliefs, located 500 m east Harran Plain within Tek Mountains region, are Said unearthed at some quarry-like location. The location where discovered is only limestone quarry that has been dated region. Orthostatic relief sketches, embos...

Segmentation of geometric reliefs from a textured background has various applications in reverse engineering. We consider two approaches to solve this problem. The first classifies parts of a surface mesh as relief or background, and then uses a snake which moves inwards towards the desired relief boundary, which is coarsely located using an energy based on the classification. The second approa...

Bas-relief is a form of sculpture where carved or chiseled forms protrude partially and shallowly from the background. Occupying an intermediate place between painting and full 3D sculpture, bas-relief sculpture exploits properties of human visual perception in order to maintain perceptually salient 3D information. In this paper, we present two methods for automatic bas-relief generation from 3...

Bas-relief is an art form part way between sculpture and drawing. In this paper, we present an algorithm for generating a bas-relief from a single image, inspired by the process that artists use to create reliefs. We do not aim to recover exact depth values for objects in the image, which is a tricky computer vision problem, requiring assumptions that are rarely satisfied. Instead, we determine...
