Digital reconstruction of the Arrigo VII funerary complex

The results of a project aimed to the study, reconstruction and presentation to the public of a monument disassembled and dispersed, the mausoleum of the emperor Arrigo VII, are presented here. We used modern 3D graphics for the acquisition of accurate digital models of all the elements of the funerary complex, to draw hypothesis on its original architecture, and finally to present all this knowledge to the museum public. Issues emerged during 3D scanning are discussed. The multimedia museum presentation was implemented with an interactive visualization system, which was extended to manage standard multimedia data together with 3D geometry. Categories and Subject Descriptors (according to ACM CCS): I.3 [Computer Graphics]: : I.3.3 Picture/Image Generation - Digitizing and scanning; I.3.8 Applications.
