AUTOMATIC ORIENTATION OF IMAGE SEQUENCES IN CULTURAL HERITAGE

Image Processing for Cultural Heritage

Towards automatic modeling of 3D cultural heritage

Exporting to cultural heritage methods and tools used in industrial areas, where the profits can justify high modeling costs, may only be a starting point for cultural heritage modeling, but not a sustainable solution in sight of the economics of this application. A way to lower the costs is to automate the modeling procedure. This work presents a robust procedure for the automatic alignment of...

Towards Automatic Modeling for Cultural Heritage Applications

Recent advances in the field of laser scanning technology along with the availability of more powerful computing resources have favoured the increasing interest of surveyors, architects, archaeologists towards laser scanners as a very promising alternative for cultural heritage surveying. Thousands of points can be acquired in a few seconds with an accuracy that is adequate to build 3D models f...

Image and Video Processing for Cultural Heritage

The preservation, archival, and study of cultural heritage is of the utmost importance at local, national, and international levels. Not only global organizations like UNESCO but also museums, libraries, cultural institutions, and private initiatives are working in these directions. During the last three decades, researchers in the field of imaging science have started to contribute a growing s...

Automatic Image Orientation Detection

We present an algorithm for automatic image orientation estimation using a Bayesian learning framework. We demonstrate that a small codebook (the optimal size of codebook is selected using a modified MDL criterion) extracted from a learning vector quantizer (LVQ) can be used to estimate the class-conditional densities of the observed features needed for the Bayesian methodology. We further show...
