Abstract

Digital documentation of cultural heritage is important especially for endangered monuments. Nowadays fast and low-cost SfM techniques are available, but it is not always possible to digitally acquire the whole artefact, because it is fragmentary or not totally accessible. Combining the 3D acquisition of the object with the 3D modeling of the missing parts allows the hypothetical reconstruction of the original aspect of the monument. A case study will be presented here, regarding a Roman altar reused in Venice.

Notes

  1. 1.

    The relationship between traditional photogrammetry and SfM is partially controversial (Paris [8]).

  2. 2.

    The camera used was a GT-I9300, shooting in JPEG format at 8 MP resolution.
