Visual media dataVisual Media Data: any type of visual representation of Archaeological sites or objects:

• Standard 2D images (high-resolution)

• Advanced 2D images (PTM, RTI, panoramic images, HDR)

• 3D models (single or complex scenes)

• Videos

• GIS data

Services offered by ARIADNE• Production of visual data: MeshLab (CNR-ISTI)• Publication of 3D data on the web: 3D-HOP (CNR-ISTI)• ARIADNE Visual Media Service (CNR-ISTI)• Geographical data (Production & Visualisation): Landscape

Services (CNR-ITABC)

MeshLab• OpenSource tool (GPL) supporting

mesh processing and visualisation of triangle meshes

• Started as an academic project• Evolved to a complete and

sophisticated system • Downloaded by >350,000 users by

2013, worldwide • Leading open platform for mesh

editing of sampled 3D datahttp://meshlab.sourceforge.net/

CNR-ISTI

MeshLab: training and support• ARIADNE partners have good experience of the production of visual

media (2D and 3)• CNR-ISTI supports this activity (TNA, summer schools and training)

– http://www.ariadne-infrastructure.eu/Services/Transnational-Access/2016-TNA-Call/TNA-school-3D-Pisa

• Video tutorials are available for MeshLab:– A series of short videos, each dedicated to a specific functionality– Delivered via YouTube for free:

3DHOP: Visual data on the web• 3D visualization on web pages is now possible with

WebGL & SpiderGL• CNR’s “3DHOP” (3D Heritage Online Presenter) can

be used to simplify the production of web-based presentations or installations: http://vcg.isti.cnr.it/3dhop/

Visual media service

Visual media service

Conversion of data assets to a web-compliant format, thus supporting easy publication and visualization on the web• 3D models• Reflection Transformation Images (RTI)• High Resolution 2D images• High Dynamic Range (HDR) images

Visual media service: user perspective

• For each visual media asset:– The user fills a simple form and uploads the data

file– An automatic service on the ARIADNE server will

open, convert, transform in a browsable page and output the URL (or a .zip file) to the user

– The user links the media asset in his archive using the provided URL

Demo

Details page for each media type

• Describes the media type and the services that are offered: conversion, streaming, visualisation on the web, etc.

Browse

http://visual.ariadne-infrastructure.eu/browse

• Users can search and browse the content that has already been uploaded

Uploading your media• For each media asset the

user fills in a simple form:– Email, name institution– Label, title, description, tabs,

url for a page describing the asset

– Copyright owner– Collection (optional) – You can ask to keep the object

private• Select file to upload• Accept terms and conditions• And upload!

ARIADNE landscape services

http://landscape.ariadne-infrastructure.eu/

Landscape services• These online services focus on the generation and

management of 2D / 3D interactive WebGIS environments in a collaborative way, through open-source frameworks.

• Web services include: – Cloud services– 3D Terrain Services– Tools for visualization, interaction and editing– Distributed composing services– 2D services

Cloud service• You can register as a single user, a research

group or a whole institution• Users can upload, manage and modify data

involved in processing tasks (both input and output).

• The ARIADNE Service use ownCloud, which has been customized

• Services are optimized for desktop and mobile with full support for mobile and desktop clients.

http://landscape.ariadne-infrastructure.eu/oc/

3D Terrain Service: registering• To start a 3D Terrain project you first need to

register and log in to the Cloud service

3D Terrain Service: upload• Data (DTMs/DEMs, Geo-images, ESRI shape files) for

your 3D terrain project is uploaded to the Cloud service

3D Terrain Service: output• Next you specify the output to control how your

3D terrain model will be generated or published

3D Terrain Service: processing• The services will list your available input data • Responsive web interfaces for user tasks

– customization of different parameters (database resolution, extents, imagery attributes, etc.).

• Web servers then process the data and alert you once 3D terrain data processing has completed

Landscape services: Terrain Gallery

• Browse sample datasets• View your own datasets (when logged in)

http://landscape.ariadne-infrastructure.eu/gallery.php

View and download options

You can also fully delete a 3D terrain and its related data (it will NOT delete the cloud input data) – but don’t delete the sample datasets!.

Embed optionsYou can embed a 3D scene in your web-page

And share the current point of view.

Call for applications• Summer schools:

– Digital curation of archaeological knowledge, Athens, 12-17 June

– 3D documentation, Pisa, 20-24 June– Archaeological datasets, Pisa, 4-8 July

• Individual training– Mapping existing data to CIDOC CRM, Prato– Design of scientific datasets, Prato

• Bursaries available!

Talking pointsAriadne was the daughter of Minos, King of Crete.She gave a all of thread to Theseus so that he could find his way out of the Minotaur's labyrinth.

Our ARIADNE is a research infrastructure.We give a portal so researchers can find archaeological datasetsand tools to visualise and publish their results.
