A Point-Based Approach for Capture, Display and Illustration of Very Complex Archeological Artefacts

During this project, cultural heritage artifacts have been scanned using range scanners. For archeologists to document the findings the 3D artifacts are re-projected in 2D with unfolding of a cylinder. In this work we propose and implemented a sky-dome based approach to calculate a lighting that highlights details on these unfolding images.

Unfolding of a column virtually rebuild from fragments carefully placed by archeologists.
