“…3DHOP and Potree are free and open-source software packages for point cloud rendering and high-resolution 3D datasets respectively. Both have been proven competent to challenging use cases such as 4D-3D heritage sites [21,22] or 3D archaeological stratigraphy [23]. The progressive streaming of X3DOM has proven appropriate for case studies where virtual large-scale archaeology [24], geospatial data [25] and scanned museum artifacts [26] are presented in a basic viewer.…”

The evolution of the high-quality 3D archaeological representations from niche products to integrated online media has not yet been completed. Digital archives of the field often lack multimodal data interoperability, user interaction and intelligibility. A web-based cultural heritage archive that compensates for these issues is presented in this paper. The multi-resolution 3D models constitute the core of the visualization on top of which supportive documentation data and multimedia content are spatial and logical connected. Our holistic approach focuses on the dynamic manipulation of the 3D scene through the development of advanced navigation mechanisms and information retrieval tools. Users parse the multi-modal content in a geo-referenced way through interactive annotation systems over cultural points of interest and automatic narrative tours. Multiple 3D and 2D viewpoints are enabled in real-time to support data inspection. The implementation exploits front-end programming languages, 3D graphic libraries and visualization frameworks to handle efficiently the asynchronous operations and preserve the initial assets’ accuracy. The choice of Greece’s Meteora, UNESCO world site, as a case study accounts for the platform’s applicability to complex geometries and large-scale historical environments.

“…Additionally, artefact and built heritage structures' reconstruction (3D modelling) by means of photogrammetric techniques, such as structure-from-motion [19,28], which rely heavily on image matching and feature extraction, benefit greatly from HPC infrastructure. VI-SEEM has been actively enabling and supporting these research activities which contribute to the presentation of sensitive or threatened heritage in the region (see online 3D Database System for Endangered architectural and archaeological Heritage in the south Eastern MEediterRAnea Area (EpHEMERA) [1]) due to the active engagement of various regional research groups 3 . Remote sensing image analysis is used for land cover and land use classification, built-up and clear land area detection, monitoring of urban growth, monitoring of natural disasters, etc.…”

Abstract. It has been observed that many researchers in the humanities do not use digital tools to their full extent for their research. Some of the most pressing needs of researchers in Digital Cultural Heritage (DCH) are data storage and handling and large scale computing. Linking these researchers to experienced groups will significantly improve productivity and research innovation in DCH. This work presents our efforts in enabling virtual collaboration for research in the South East and Eastern Mediterranean region and more specifically the deployment of the Clowder CMS system and the development of extraction services to handle, manage and automatically process DCH data. We give technical descriptions of the system and provide some results and discussions of our efforts to enable virtual collaboration between regional level DCH researchers in the context of the Horizon 2020 funded VI-SEEM project.

“…3D modelling can be powerful tool to understand, define and recognize the values of the site and the archaeological findings. The latest improvements in image based modelling algorithms and scanners allow utilizing a feasible, portable and affordable technique that can provide reliable and accurate both geometrical and morphological data eventhough the cost of 3D scanners is considered still high [1]. Add up with the application of GIS can potentially offers a better documentation of archaeology findings with geodatabase for easier data management and manipulation.…”

Abstract. In recent years, there has been little adoption of geospatial technology applications towards the archaeological excavation project in Malaysia which yields increasing amount of data on historical assets. Those data however been processed and managed via conventional method of paper form- based and less associated spatial data which is actually can be necessary to improve the finding method of potential archaeological sites. This paper presents the application of Geographical Information System (GIS) towards the archaeology data management by adopting geodatabase for storing archaeology information and visualizing the archaeological monuments via method of 3D Terrestrial Laser Scanning (TLS). The research area is located within the Bujang Valley Archaeological Museum, Merbok, Kedah which known to locate most of the ancient relics that being preserved over time. The TLS method is used to scan the interior and exterior structures of the monuments due to its capability in representing 3D visualization digitally from point cloud data and close to the accuracy of the actual structure. In addition, the geodatabase can provide the organization a better medium to create large-scale databases for organizing, analyzing and sharing the products of the field research with other users. The GIS capability to capture, integrate, store, edit, analyze and display geospatial data can really help the effort in preserving the archaeological information from lost over time.
