Heritage

There is a great deal of interest in Virtual Heritage and other applications of visual computing in the Heritage domain. For example, a virtual reconstruction of a heritage site allows many more people to access and enjoy it. Other technologies such as augmented reality are being used more and more to enhance the visit to a site when you can be there in person.
Projects
-
3D feature extraction and matching
Feature extraction and matching is a traditional method for shape matching and analysis.
-
Efficient 3D shape matching and retrieval
This project attempts to develop efficient techniques for the representation and matching of 3D shapes.
-
Noise removal and image enhancement
The captured either 2D or 3D data are usually unavoidably corrupted by imaging noise.
-
Quantifying image quality in computer graphics
This project is indented to provide means of comparing computer graphics results in a possibly effective and accurate way.
-
Robust and Sensitive Methods for Non-rigid and Partial 3D Model Retrieval
3D models have a broad range of applications in many different areas such as engineering, biology, chemistry, medicine, entertainment and cultural heritage.
-
Saliency detection for 3D surface reconstruction, segmentation and simplification
While the laser scanning systems usually have limited field of view, the captured data from a single viewpoint can only cover a part of the area of interest.
