Lessons learned Isabelle Ratinaud Joëlle Thollot
How to begin a collaboration ? • A common research subject • How to understand • Another scientific language • The goals of each speciality
The datas ideally • A computer graphist needs: • Terrain • Buildings, houses • Characters • An archaeologist could have: • First step: excavation • Topographical datas, numerical datas (x, y), objects • Second step: reconstruction • Drawings (elevation, section), plans and maps • An historian could have: • Human way of life, traditions, institutions …
The datas in practice • Lack of information • State of the remains after more or less 2000 years • Topographical datas in Greece • Datas not immediately usable • More descriptions than drawings • Datas often unpublished and fragmented • A computer graphist needs a visual and complete description of the scene
3D reconstruction • Not only a research work for CG • Geometric modelisation: graphists • Demos, prototypes: engineers • Validation of the results • Advices from the archaeologists • How to deal with the missing parts ? • How to deal with the hypotheses ? => Constant dialogue
Rendering, Virtual Reality • This is the job of the computer scientists • The easiest part of the project… • Choice of the rendering style according to the archaeologists’ point of view
What do we do now ? • Pedagogical support: • Web site, CD ROM • Museum, archeological site • Research in archaeology: • Validation of the hypotheses • Better understanding of the space • Need more work
Happy few • We have shared our knowledge • Now Joelle knows what a doric column is and Isabelle what a billboard is ! • For CG, a new scientific community : • Different points of view • New applications • For archaeologists, another way to question their sources All of we want to continue this project !
