#spoiler: #3D renderings with virtual light and #MSII filtered cuneiform tablets improve results for sign detection on renderings and photographs. Another small step towards a #Cuneiform #OCR. Also #HeiCuBeDa got #Cuneur annotations and becomes #OpenAccess #MaiCuBeDa.taset.

#OpenAccess Dissertation about 3D acquisition with UAVs. Christian Seitz is also an early adopter of GigaMesh. So there are nice applications also on larger objects in his thesis 👇👇🏻👇🏾

Scholars in Japan are also among our earliest international users. Very happy to see that they bring results to the 2023 European Association of Archaeologists conference 😊 👇👇🏻👇🏾

New types of #3D objects sometimes require new methods as presented in the CAA 2023 Amsterdam pre-print. These are existing outside of GigaMesh for now. However, looking carefully at GM's changelog one will notice the automatic orientation option, which works best on #lithic tools 😉😊

More Details about the research I. #3D #lithics 👇👇🏻👇🏾

German chapter meeting of CAA International - quite some 3D topics 😊👍👇👇🏻👇🏾

About #AI #3D GigaMesh #cuneiform sign recognition the paper by Ernst Stoetzner and the #MaiCuBeDa MainzCuneiformBenchmarkDataset by Timo Homburg, i3mainz EN Version: pressemitteilungen.pr.uni-halle.de/index.php?modu… #DANES #OpenDANES NFDI4Objects

Thanks to a colleague at Leibniz-Zentrum für Archäologie (LEIZA) & i3mainz we found out about another user and his Open Access dataset from Kalba, United Arab Emirates, of the هيئة الشارقة للآثار (SAA), the Österreichisches Archäologisches Institut Austrian Academy of Sciences: doi.org/10.5281/zenodo…

#NewRelease with #glTF export by Ernst Stoetzner for Linux, which is not complete in terms of color support for #3D #meshes. @[email protected] NFDI4Objects There are also other smaller fixes and improvements (see gigamesh.eu/news/).

1/3 New recommendation: Linsel, F., Bullenkamp, J. P., and Mara, H. (2024). Linking Scars: Topology-based Scar Detection and Graph Modeling of Paleolithic Artifacts in 3D. doi.org/10.5281/zenodo… #Archaeology Florian Linsel Jan Philipp Bullenkamp Hubert Mara

MSII filtering can be applied to #RTI/ #PTM datasets when converted to 3D. Great cooperation with LDA Sachsen-Anhalt and Fraunhofer IFF creating a curvature based 2D/3D benchmark dataset. 👇👇👇

For our German speaking colleagues - there is a Friday lunch time #webcast about #Datamanagement in #Archaeology. Wondering if #3D will be part of it as Martina is known to have worked with e.g. odeeg.acdh.oeaw.ac.at #FDM

There is another non-heritage use case for GigaMesh to determine potholes in roads using low-cost #LiDAR sensors in the Journal of Location based Services by colleagues at FAU Erlangen-Nbg & TU München: doi.org/10.1080/174897…

New release today improving #glTF export i.e. smaller files (no normal option) and vertex color support. Download: gigamesh.eu/downloads #FDM NFDI4Objects @[email protected] NFDI - @[email protected]
