- ACQUISITION AND HARVESTING - 3D Data Acquisition
- Shape capture: -Laser Scanner -Digital and High-resolution photogrammetry -Data set alignment and registration Reflectance capture: -Calibrated acquisition of color/material/texture -Calibrated acquisition of surface reflectance properties
- ACQUISITION AND HARVESTING: Multimedia platforms
- Web-based and semi-immersive interfaces based on GoogleEarth platform for 3D Data-Base visualization Integrated system that uses palmtop computers in semi-immersive VR and Internet technologies to enable archaeological analysis of artifacts, for providing archaeologists and tourist with Immersivity, Multimedia data support and Cooperation
- DOCUMENTATION AND MANAGEMENT - Information Systems
- Definition of a system of metadata that could qualify a 3D model: -catalogue metadata, which serves as a tool for finding data; -commentary metadata, for providing background information about the nature of the evidence used to create the model;
- VISUALISATION - 3D Modelling
- Standardized-3D models according to: -transposition quality from real-life object to digital; -integration in an information environment; -arrangement of technical standards for long time preservation and interoperability;
- VISUALISATION - Digital reconstructions
- Digital reconstruction from existing 3D data, or historical documents for real time visualization
- VISUALISATION - Virtual and Augmented Reality
- Virtual prototyping and 3D-Virtual GIS to be visualized in semi-immersive virtual theatres, using customized interaction interfaces: -visualisation of archeological artifacts or reconstructed within their original environment Virtual prototyping and 3D-Virtual GIS to be visualized in semi-immersive VR, using customized palmtop computer interfaces: -visualisation of archeological artifacts
- VISUALISATION - Other
- Visualisation of 3D models with a large amount of polygons on a web-based platform such as on a PC desktop low-end. Use of OpenSource protocols and tools for data organization and visualization to share and to communicate the information. Visualisation of 3D models with a large amount of polygons on a web-based platform, palmtop and low-end PC desktop.
- ACCESS TO DIGITAL RESOURCES - Virtual exhibitions
- Virtual prototyping and 3D-Virtual GIS to be visualized in semi-immersive virtual theatres, using customized interaction interfaces: -visualisation of archeological artifacts or reconstructed within their original environment

- Project Duration
- 2006-2008
- Objectives and priorities
- The main focus of the project is to define a digital information framework to make all the technical-scientific data pertaining to the management of an archaeological site available for the entire community.
- Problems encountered and lessons learnt
- Today there are no standards for the acquisition of 3D-data set. The acquisition of data from archeological sites is difficult to manage even if sites located in the neighborhood of urban centers. The lack of standards inhibits 3D acquisition methodologies to become spread, recognized and certified systems available to the whole reference scientific community.
