Reconstruction Of Archaeological Objects As A Digital Twin
In this lecture Georgios Papaioannou shares some insights on how to transform the physical archaeological object restoration process and in particular, the reassembly task, into a digital twin and exploit computational methods to provide and test hypotheses virtually, in a non-invasive manner. First, this resource examines the task at hand and explains how a computational approach can assist in the physical restoration process. Next, is a discussion on particular requirements and processes for the creation of 3D digital assets that can stand in for the physical parts in a virtual reassembly task and we examine the workflows and possibilities offered by the digital twin. Finally, the resource briefly introduces the ARTEMIS services that are related to the creation of collaborative digital twin applications for digital restoration.
Learning Outcomes
After completing this course, learners will be able to:
- describe how digital twins are used to exploit computational methods to provide and test hypotheses virtually, in a non-invasive manner.
- illustrate the benefits of digital reassembly when configuring, aligning or comparing digital twins of parts of an object in the virtual space.
- understand how digital reassembly facilitates collaboration among researchers and supports quantitative analysis.
- describe the processes, requirements, and workflows related to creating digital assets that represent physical parts of an object in a virtual reassembly task.
- understand the role of digital heritage experts in digital reassembly tasks when assisted by automatisation processes and algorithms.
