The paper presents methods for digitally reconstructing and visualizing cultural heritage objects that account not only for their overall geometry but also for material consistency and fine-scale micro-structure such as dents, bumps, and cracks. By integrating diverse sensor data, including those that reveal subsurface material layers, the approach produces richer 3D models that capture both external surfaces and internal material characteristics.

Abstract

Cultural heritage artwork objects usually consist of multiple surfaces with details that become more apparent over time. The most common deformations concern the composition of materials, the use of objects. Reconstruction techniques are used for building 3D models of existing objects from sensor data such as laser scanner and photogrammetry data. Similarly, we can use additional types of sensor data for reconstructing (i) the micro-structure of the object (dents, bumps, cracks) or (ii) the material layers that lie underneath the external surface. We report on the development of methods for digitally reconstructing and visualizing cultural heritage objects including their material consistency and their micro-structure.
