Combining 3D surveying with archaeological uncertainty: the metopes of the Athenian Treasury at DelphiCombining 3D surveying with archaeological uncertainty: the metopes of the Athenian Treasury at Delphi Δημοσίευση σε Συνέδριο Conference Publication 2023-05-232021enThis research forms part of the project 3D4DEPLHI, cofinanced by the European Union and Greek funds through the Operational Program Competitiveness, Entrepreneurship and Innovation, under the call ’Specific Actions, Open Innovation for Culture’ (project code: T6YBΠ-00190)At the archaeological site of Delphi, significant monuments inherently communicate uncertainty regarding the reconstruction of their initial form. An innovative, preliminary, theoretical formulation of a 3D visualization system is proposed, combining 3D surveying based on terrestrial laser scanning and archaeological uncertainty which, unlike past work, will offer multiple hypotheses to be visualized. The system, when implemented, will take as input the archaeologists’ assessment regarding various evidence and offers probabilistic reasoning in relation to the monuments’ past form, which is finally reconstructed and visualized in 3D. The positioning of the metopes of the Athenian Treasury at Delphi is presented as a case study.http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/2021 12th International Conference on Information, Intelligence, Systems & Applications Mania Aikaterini Μανια Αικατερινη Psalti Athanasia Lala Dimitra-Maria Tsakoumaki Marilena Polychronakis Andreas Πολυχρονακης Ανδρεας Rempoulaki Anastasia Xinogalos Michael Maravelakis, Emmanuel Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Visualization Uncertainty 3D reconstructions Cultural heritage Delphi
