Real-time Ortho Imaging and 3 Dimensional Visualization for Archeological Artifacts

Abstract

The effectiveness of the real-time ortho projection and drawing system using a CCD camera and line lasers developed by the authors has been demonstrated. However, 3 dimensional visualization for archeological artifacts, such as surface model or texture model should be performed.
There are some methods for performing a digital 3D modeling such as the range finder method. The most remarkable point of this system is its ability to get a real-time ortho projection image and a 3 dimensional model with one CCD camera.
