Research on Three-Dimensional Reconstruction and Augmented Reality Demonstration for Foshan Ceramics

Abstract

Abstract-In this paper, regarding to the fragility and surface erosion problems of Foshan ceramics, we discussed the methodology and technology of 3D reconstruction and virtual demonstration for Foshan ceramic object and cultural relics. We adopted Reverse Engineering technology to rebuild the shape of object by capturing point-cloud data from different angle, encapsulating and fitting these data into triangular mesh model. We then utilized Augmented Reality to achieve the virtual demonstration of ceramic object, which integrated the 3D reconstructed model with real environment from digital camera. To get a better interaction experience, we have developed a demonstration system with osgART and its scene graph, which can position ceramic object by a mark, transform digital model by mouse and menu, and display brief information. The developed technology and methods can be used in digital preservation of ceramic cultural relic and product design, evaluation or demonstration
