The great buddha project: modeling cultural heritage for VR systems through observation

TLDR
In an attempt to restore the original appearance of historical heritage objects, a robust simultaneous registration method and an efficient and robust voxel-based integration method areveloped.
Abstract
This paper overviews our research on digitalpreservation of cultural assets and digital restoration oftheir original appearance. Geometric models are digitallyachieved through a pipeline consisting of scanning,registering and merging multiple range images. We havedeveloped a robust simultaneous registration method andan efficient and robust voxel-based integration method. Onthe geometric models created, we have to align textureimages acquired from a color camera. We have developedtwo texture mapping methods. In an attempt to restore theoriginal appearance of historical heritage objects, we havesynthesized several buildings and statues using scanneddata and literature survey with advice from experts.

A method for registration of 3-D shapes

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors describe a general-purpose representation-independent method for the accurate and computationally efficient registration of 3D shapes including free-form curves and surfaces, based on the iterative closest point (ICP) algorithm, which requires only a procedure to find the closest point on a geometric entity to a given point.

Object modelling by registration of multiple range images

TL;DR: A new approach is proposed which works on range data directly and registers successive views with enough overlapping area to get an accurate transformation between views and is performed by minimizing a functional which does not require point-to-point matches.
