Arcaheological Forensic Facial Reconstruction with FLOSS

Last week the CAA conference 2015 (Computer Applications and Quantitative Methods in Archaeology) took place in Siena (Italy). It has been a good occasion to meet old friends, share opinions and speak with colleagues from all over the world.

This year Arc-Team participated with three oral presentations and a poster and, of course, we will share these contributions with free licenses (CC-BY) also in ATOR.
Today I upload the poster, which is self-explanatory, thanks to the text added to summarize our experience with Archaeological Forensic Facial Reconstruction (FFR). If you are a regular reader of ATOR, there will be few news for you about our work, but you will find some extra contents which we had not yet time to share through our blog (e.g. a gallery of some of the reconstructions for the open source exhibition "Facce. I molti volti della storia umana"; the video of the FFR of St. Anthony, presented during the "Giugno Antoniano", or the Mocap experiment with Franceso Petrarca).

Here is the poster, I hope you will find it useful:

Have a nice day!

CAA 2014, Paris

The 2014 CAA Conference will be held at the “Université Paris 1 Panthéon-Sorbonne” Paris, France, from 22th to 25^th April 2014.

The program is now available and very huge: 27 sessions, 15 roundtables and 12 workshops have been accepted. Early bird fees until 28th February.

See you there!

Feedback when I will come back. In the meanwhile, take a look at the online Proceedings of the past CAA Conference.

ArcheOS and UAVP for archaeological remote sensing

Hi all,

Finally I uploaded the presentation we did in the CAA Southampton 2012. Until our website is down (for maintenance), you can see it here. Inside you can find more details about the aerial archaeology project we mentioned in the post Xcopter drone and SfM techniques.

Here you can see the first slide, in the new Arc-Team theme I did playing with beamer, LaTeX :).

As you see the license is the Creative Commons Attribution 3.0 Unported (CC BY 3.0), which we are planning to adopt soon also for ATOR to facilitate content sharing.

Thanks to self-archiving I can now add the bibliography related with this post:

I hope it will be useful, even if no more up to date it can be a starting point to work in Aerial Archeology with Open Software and Hardware.

CAA 2012, Southampton

This year the Computer Applications and Quantitative Methods in Archaeology (CAA) conference will be hosted by the Archaeological Computing Research Group in the Faculty of Humanities at the University of Southampton on 26-30 March 2012. Unfortunately we will have no time to stay the whole week in Southampton, but we will participate  to the session regarding "Novel Technologies For Supporting Archaeological Fieldwork" which will take place Wednesday, March 28. Our presentation ("Free and Open Source platform for remote sensing and 3D data acquisition") will focus on the combination of open source UAV (especially the UAVP drone) and ArcheOS. We will show as well some results about our last project of aerial archaeology in North Italy. 

I hope it will be an interesting experience (just to write some report about it). For more information about the congress, here is the official website: http://caaconference.org/.

Soon we will post the presentation, and some more details about our last research in UAV field.
