A Simple Approach to Link 3D Photorealistic Models with Content of Bibliographic Repositories

Linking 3D photorealistic and virtual reality models with contents of bibliographic repositories and resources is needed for archeological and historical analyses, public understanding of ancient settlements, and simple common sense studies using web content. As the Web 2.0 is used more and more by the community, it will help to deepen the knowledge of many interested internet users. Within this paper, a combination of 3D photorealistic modeling and content of bibliographic repositories, which describes the history of the Hirsau Abbey, Germany, is presented. In particular, it will serve for the special needs of the Verein "Freunde Kloster Hirsau e.V." which is a registered association for taking care of the Hirsau Cultural Heritage site. The 3D photorealistic models have been acquired by means of static LiDAR and HD close range photogrammetry.
