Extracted Abstract:

— Scientific analysis of the scanned model can enhance interpretation of heritage. Visualization methods that use various rendering algorithm can reveal geometric features of the model clearly, which may not be recognized in pictures or even on the site. Thus it helps to overcome the subjectivity or restriction in first-hand interpretation. In this paper, visualization of scanned model for interpretation of heritage was surveyed. Based on that survey, a classification scheme was proposed which can be used in the interpretation pipeline. In a case study of dinosaur track, we analyzed the possible problems in the interpretation stage and proposed various visualization of scanned model according to the purpose. User test was performed to evaluate the effectiveness of the method. A practical survey in this paper showed that 3D scanned model and its appropriate visualization could be used for effective interpretation of heritage. Keywords—3D scan; heritage interpretation; rendering; visualization I.

Level 1: Include/Exclude

  • Papers must discuss situated information visualization* (by Willet et al.) in the application domain of CH.
    *A situated data representation is a data representation whose physical presentation is located close to the data’s physical referent(s).
    *A situated visualization is a situated data representation for which the presentation is purely visual – and is typically displayed on a screen.
  • Representation must include abstract data (e.g., metadata).
  • Papers focused solely on digital reconstruction without information visualization aspects are excluded.
  • Posters and workshop papers are excluded to focus on mature research contributions.
