As a member of both HCE (Heidelberg Center for the Environment) and IWR (Interdiciplinary Center for Scientific Computing) we are happy to make you aware of todays public presentation in the HCE colloquium series “Heidelberger Brücke”:
Title: Feature Extraction of Discrete Manifolds from Archaeological Findings to Cultural Landscapes
Lecture and discussion with Dr. Hubert Mara, Universität Heidelberg, Interdisciplinary Center for Scientific Computing (IWR)
Time: 23. Mai 2016, 16.00 Uhr s.t.
Location: Lecture Hall, Im Neuenheimer Feld 360
Abstract:
Smallest traces of human interactions with surfaces of objects and landscapes are important to detect to understand past events. Together with the growing amount of 3D-measurment from Digital Terrain Models down to archaeological finds there is an increased demand for automated analysis of discretized surfaces. In this presentation we show robust means to process such 3D-models consisting of millions of measuring points and triangles to visualize e.g. ancient watercourses. We will show how to extract more complex features i.e. script in 3D from archaeological findings, fingerprints and brick structures of medieval walls.
