Cultural artefacts and 3D modelling – Romanian study case, E. Oberländer-Târnoveanu, Corina Nicolae, Mihai Bozgan, Marius Amarie, Tudor Martin (original) (raw)

Abstract

Cultural heritage objects represent the legacy passed from generation to generation, standing as witnesses for the evolution of our society. Preserving but as well promoting it by all possible means represents the main roles of museums. As a full time member in 3D ICONS project, the Romanian National History Museum has the opportunity of implementing open-source and low-cost technologies used for creating reality-based 3D models, and in this way, to make them known to the general public. The project focuses on making available, through Europeana platform, of 3D models of outstanding archaeological and architectural complexes. As newly starters in the field of reality-based 3D models, we would like to bring into attention the Romanian experience in data acquisition and as well in processing and post-processing procedures regarding the modeling by the means of photogrammetry of several cultural artefacts and architectural details from Saint Michael Romano-Catholic Cathedral from Alba Iulia. As regarding the results obtained, we will try to present the way in which we consider that 3D modeling best serves two main roles of a museum: promoter to the general public of history and cultural heritage, through Europeana and, on the other hand, museum as a scientific nucleus, with the aim of conserving and preserving cultural goods.
