A new 3D information system for archeological pottery

Di Angelo L, Di Stefano P, Pane C

Abstract

The study of the immense patrimony of ceramic finds is still performed by the traditional manual archaeological approach. So that, the information of the shape and dimensions of the sherds have high uncertainties, are expensive and time consuming to be obtained. With the aim to overcome these limitations, for several years our research group has directed efforts to the development of an automatic computer-based method for the morphological and dimensional characterization of axially-symmetric shards. In this paper, the salient points of this method are reported, as well as the management system of all gathered information. The 3D information system is designed for its future use for pottery classification and reconstruction of ancient ceramics.
