Cultural heritage interactive 3D models on the web: An approach using open source and free software
Alberto Guarnieri|Jinhu Wang|Antonio Vettore
Cultural heritage sites and artefacts get a significant added value from high-resolution 3D models. These models are increasingly available due to improvements in technology higher integration of survey techniques such as laser scanning photogrammetry. In this paper we present case study on the development web-based application for user access interactive exploration three-dimensional by providing integrated geometrical non-geometrical information into an intuitive interface. The main feature system is provide with completely new visit experience based free interface object (i.e., not constrained any predefined pathway) opportunity more detailed specific parts interest. A parallel aim achieved was use, data processing architecture, open source tools software, thus full transparency adopted methodology methods, cost effective solution both server client. Furthermore, aspect size has been considered using segmentation simplification scheme server-side management keep transmission minimum, improving speed.
