Abstract

Developable surfaces are important for representing and understanding geometric features of 3D models. Some methods are required that surface pattern of a relic should be easily observed in archaeology area. This paper introduces a system to visualize the development of relic's surface pattern based on points, which does not require reconstruction of a mesh model and relies only on the information of points to develop the relic's surface. After a point cloud of a relic is segmented to separate sections, points of each section are projected to a developable surface, then the points of relic's surface are unfolded into an image plane. In our method, the number of segmentations can be controlled by an archaeologist in an interactive interface. The more segmentations a point cloud is divided into, the higher precision the image plane is shown in adjacent area. To observe the surface pattern easily, a developed plane can be interactively rotated on the prime meridian, which is extracted from a relic's surface. This approach can help archaeologists move a specific area of interest to the center of the relics.
