The ancient mining landscape of Schwaz/Brixlegg in the Tyrol, Austria witnessed mining from prehistoric times to modern times. These activities left distinct physical structures in the mountains south of the Inn river ranging over 50 km. This area documents the history of mining from bronze age copper mining to medieval and modern times silver mining creating a first order cultural landscape. With our training we want to show a workflow how to integrate archaeological, historical and surveying data on a semantic and geoinformation level. The goal is to combine georeferenced geometric information of mining landscape and structures with a semantic representation of the mining structures thus providing knowledge on functionality and periods of usage. For the workshop sample data of the mining landscape will be provided and a hands on tutorial will introduce attendees to the notion of semantic mapping and be linked to an introduction to an overall semantic data transformation and exploitation workflow. The first challenge in this process is to integrate different information sources coming from surveying, archaeology, geology and history under one conceptual model. We will demonstrate how to use formal ontologies and in particular the CIDOC CRM, an ISO standard for cultural heritage documentation to model research data as well as geometric data. A series of mini exercises will initiate attendees into the process of semantic mapping of real, sample archaeological data structures. The workshop will further demonstrate how such mappings can be used to transform information sources to a formal representation of the classes and properties of the ontology using semantic web technologies to create a knowledge graph in RDF (Resource Description Framework), a data format that is able to relate logical statements within a network. In the tutorial presentation the steps and potential tools to execute such transformations will be described. Saved into a triple store, an RDF graph can be queried using the SPARQL query language to create more powerful searches than available through standard database technologies. For the training, sample SPARQL queries have been built to demonstrate how they can be used on a snapshot of mining, settlement and burial sites in the Bronze Age, or the temporal usage of mines in early modern times. The results of the query are loaded into a Geoinformation system and will be visualized together with a high resolution digital elevation model. Queries and results will be detailed in the tutorial. The format of the training will be a best practice demonstration on sample data of the mining landscape with exercises in conceptual modelling. The sample data (in all stages of their processing) 5 and a detailed description of the workflow will be made available online, with the goal that workshop participants will be able to go through the workflow on their own. Training 2 – Archaeological Geospatial Infrastructures - Searching, finding and using findings and their documentation with geospatial catalogues (Organiser: Markus JOBST, Austria) Archaeological work comes along with digital excavation maps, measurements, findings, documentation, interpretation and similar location based documentation. Publications and pictures of our CH data are a main result of our work and sometimes are widely used by others. The reason is that these artefacts have to be published and therefore become accessible to others. Some of these topics will be needed in GIS systems for further analysis and work. For this reason we have to share all the contents by publishing their metadata and making the sources available, if we like to do so. And even if collaboration is not our aim, these Web-based systems allow us to efficiently manage and – if done right – sustainably save our constantly growing datasets and documentation. Initiatives like the ARCHES project or Arachne from DAI (German Archaeological Institute) show us the importance, usage and requirements of doing so. This hands-on workshop on Archaeological Geospatial Infrastructures leads through the basic paradigm of these modern mapping and management technologies. Simple examples in a well prepared software framework (totally based on open source components) explain the basic methods of the Web, Service-Oriented Mapping and its services, Metadata management, publishing of content and the creation of Spatial Data Infrastructures. The aim is to provide an easy access to Spatial Data Infrastructures and Documentation Management toolset for Cultural Heritage topics – using different metadata catalogues – and to understand their impact for management issues as well as world-wide initiatives for infrastructure harmonisation (like INSPIRE or the UN-SDI). This workshop is held by the ICA [the International Cartographic Association, [ www.icaci.org ] Commission on Map Production and Geoinformation Management [ http://mapproduction.icaci.org ]. Training 3 – Professional presentations (Organiser: Carmen LÖW, Austria | Nadine ALPINO, Germany) Archaeologists are confronted every day with the task of communicating their work to a diversity of audiences or target groups.

  • Benchmarks on WWW Performance
    The Scalability of X3D4 PointProperties: Benchmarks on WWW Performance Yanshen Sun Thesis submitted to the Faculty of the Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science in Computer Science and Application Nicholas F. Polys, Chair Doug A. Bowman Peter Sforza Aug 14, 2020 Blacksburg, Virginia Keywords: Point Cloud, WebGL, X3DOM, x3d Copyright 2020, Yanshen Sun The Scalability of X3D4 PointProperties: Benchmarks on WWW Performance Yanshen Sun (ABSTRACT) With the development of remote sensing devices, it becomes more and more convenient for individual researchers to acquire high-resolution point cloud data by themselves. There have been plenty of online tools for the researchers to exhibit their work. However, the drawback of existing tools is that they are not flexible enough for the users to create 3D scenes of a mixture of point-based and triangle-based models. X3DOM is a WebGL-based library built on Extensible 3D (X3D) standard, which enables users to create 3D scenes with only a little computer graphics knowledge. Before X3D 4.0 Specification, little attention has been paid to point cloud rendering in X3DOM. PointProperties, an appearance node newly added in X3D 4.0, provides point size attenuation and texture-color mixing effects to point geometries. In this work, we propose an X3DOM implementation of PointProperties. This implementation fulfills not only the features specified in X3D 4.0 documentation, but other shading effects comparable to the effects of triangle-based geometries in X3DOM, as well as other state-of-the-art point cloud visualization tools.

  • Seamless Texture Mapping of 3D Point Clouds
    Seamless Texture Mapping of 3D Point Clouds Dan Goldberg Mentor: Carl Salvaggio Chester F. Carlson Center for Imaging Science, Rochester Institute of Technology Rochester, NY November 25, 2014 Abstract The two similar, quickly growing fields of computer vision and computer graphics give users the ability to immerse themselves in a realistic computer generated environment by combining the ability create a 3D scene from images and the texture mapping process of computer graphics. The output of a popular computer vision algorithm, structure from motion (obtain a 3D point cloud from images) is incomplete from a computer graphics standpoint. The final product should be a textured mesh. The goal of this project is to make the most aesthetically pleasing output scene. In order to achieve this, auxiliary information from the structure from motion process was used to texture map a meshed 3D structure. 1 Introduction The overall goal of this project is to create a textured 3D computer model from images of an object or scene. This problem combines two different yet similar areas of study. Computer graphics and computer vision are two quickly growing fields that take advantage of the ever-expanding abilities of our computer hardware. Computer vision focuses on a computer capturing and understanding the world. Computer graphics con- centrates on accurately representing and displaying scenes to a human user. In the computer vision field, constructing three-dimensional (3D) data sets from images is becoming more common. Microsoft's Photo- synth (Snavely et al., 2006) is one application which brought attention to the 3D scene reconstruction field. Many structure from motion algorithms are being applied to data sets of images in order to obtain a 3D point cloud (Koenderink and van Doorn, 1991; Mohr et al., 1993; Snavely et al., 2006; Crandall et al., 2011; Weng et al., 2012; Yu and Gallup, 2014; Agisoft, 2014).

Parrish School of Civil and Construction Engineering, Oregon State University, 101 Kearney Hall, 1491 SW Campus Way, Corvallis, OR 97331, USA; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +1-703-973-1983 Academic Editors: Gonzalo Pajares Martinsanz, Xiaofeng Li and Prasad S. Thenkabail Received: 13 March 2017; Accepted: 19 April 2017; Published: 22 April 2017 Abstract: Structure from motion (SfM) and MultiView Stereo (MVS) algorithms are increasingly being applied to imagery from unmanned aircraft systems (UAS) to generate point cloud data for various surveying and mapping applications. To date, the options for assessing the spatial accuracy of the SfM-MVS point clouds have primarily been limited to empirical accuracy assessments, which involve comparisons against reference data sets, which are both independent and of higher accuracy than the data they are being used to test. The acquisition of these reference data sets can be expensive, time consuming, and logistically challenging. Furthermore, these experiments are also almost always unable to be perfectly replicated and can contain numerous confounding variables, such as sun angle, cloud cover, wind, movement of objects in the scene, and camera thermal noise, to name a few. The combination of these factors leads to a situation in which robust, repeatable experiments are cost prohibitive, and the experiment results are frequently site-specific and condition-specific. Here, we present a workflow to render computer generated imagery using a virtual environment which can mimic the independent variables that would be experienced in a real-world UAS imagery acquisition scenario.

  • Terragen 4 Pro by L
    Reviews Terragen 4 Pro by L. Davenport I have a lot of 3-D content consisting of people, animals, fantasy creatures, aliens, robots, vehicles of all sorts, buildings, and towns. These are fun to pose into interesting combinations, but no scene is complete without a landscape and sky to surround them. That’s where Terragen comes into play. Terragen is a program that helps you create photorealistic (real or fantasy) landscapes and planets. It has been used for visual effects in more than 30 feature films (including the last two Star Wars movies and X-Men Apocalypse) as well as numerous major TV productions (including Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. and National Geographic's new Mars series). It has also been used in game development, VR environments, museum exhibits, documentaries, and more. But don’t let this scare you off, it has been used very successfully by non-professionals too (if you do a Google search, you will find hundreds of Terragen created images). Node Network Figure 1.

  • MEPP2: a Generic Platform for Processing 3D Meshes and Point Clouds
    EUROGRAPHICS 2020/ F. Banterle and A. Wilkie Short Paper MEPP2: a generic platform for processing 3D meshes and point clouds Vincent Vidal, Eric Lombardi , Martial Tola , Florent Dupont and Guillaume Lavoué Université de Lyon, CNRS, LIRIS, Lyon, France Abstract In this paper, we present MEPP2, an open-source C++ software development kit (SDK) for processing and visualizing 3D surface meshes and point clouds. It provides both an application programming interface (API) for creating new processing filters and a graphical user interface (GUI) that facilitates the integration of new filters as plugins. Static and dynamic 3D meshes and point clouds with appearance-related attributes (color, texture information, normal) are supported. The strength of the platform is to be generic programming oriented. It offers an abstraction layer, based on C++ Concepts, that provides interoperability over several third party mesh and point cloud data structures, such as OpenMesh, CGAL, and PCL. Generic code can be run on all data structures implementing the required concepts, which allows for performance and memory footprint comparison. Our platform also permits to create complex processing pipelines gathering idiosyncratic functionalities of the different libraries. We provide examples of such applications. MEPP2 runs on Windows, Linux & Mac OS X and is intended for engineers, researchers, but also students thanks to simple use, facilitated by the proposed architecture and extensive documentation.
