Prompted by the increasing requirement for the fast but precise and detailed digital documentation of archaeological excavations and heritage artifacts, in this article we report our latest experience in capturing detailed 3D geometric information of two sites in Tuscany, Italy, using the image-based approach. We present a 3D recording flow-line, based on multi-image matching, capable of retrie...

The paper reviews methods and trends of numerical modelling geomechanical processes around underground mine excavations. most rational method determining the additional stresses caused by excavations is chosen. Mathematical was performed for various cross sections different strength rocks. dimensions inelastic deformation zone have been identified. area total fracture excavation, as well roof a...

The 3COORsystem project is a technological solution aimed at overcoming the drawbacks imposed in archaeological excavations by the traditional recording protocols, namely the use of an archaeological grid and the necessity of exhaustive data recording (object description, drawing, photo). 3COORsystem is composed of several subsystems that share a common database structure (3COORdatabase). The 3...

In Nautical Archaeology, the study of components and objects creates a complex environment for scholars and researchers. Nautical archaeologists access, manipulate, study, and consult a variety of sources from different media, geographical origins, ages, and languages. Representing underwater excavations is a challenging endeavor due to the large amount of information and data in heterogeneous ...

The excavation of mass graves provides information and documentation for both human rights work and for forensic medico-legal investigations. Medico-legal documentation for the United Nations International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia and the International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda is a major reason for recent excavation of large mass graves in these countries. The mass grave ...

This research and educational project aimed to create virtual 3-D walkthroughs of four principal buildings from the Princeton University excavations at Polis Chrysochous, Cyprus. The structures date from the CyproArchaic period beginning in the 7th century BCE to the Late Antique period of the 7th century CE. The project was conceived together with a special exhibition, a long-term exhibition i...
