Paintings, frescoes, antique photographic prints, incunabula, old books, handwritten
documents, sculptures, ceramic fragments, and other ancient manufacts constitute the …

The planning of the surgical treatment in orthopedics, with the help of three-dimensional
(3D) technologies, arouses an increasing scientific interest. Scientific literature describes …

In this article, we discuss the development of automatic artifact reconstruction systems
capable of coping with the realities of real-world geometric puzzles that anthropologists and …

The puzzle assembly problem has many application areas such as restoration and
reconstruction of archeological findings, repairing of broken objects, solving jigsaw type …

We present a complete system for the purpose of automatically assembling 3D pots given
3D measurements of their fragments commonly called sherds. A Bayesian approach is …

We propose a novel and efficient surface matching approach for reassembling broken solids
as well as for matching assembly components using cluster trees of oriented points. The …

The reassembly of cultural heritage (CH) artifacts from their fragments is an important
problem in field archeology. We present a novel framework that is intended to fuse multiple …

The recovery of geometric structure from noisy data poses difficult non-linear statistical
estimation problems. This paper describes a novel, robust, low computational cost approach …

A system for the semi-automatic reconstruction of highly fragmented bone fractures,
developed to aid in treatment planning, is presented. The system aligns bone fragment …

We propose a new technique to automatically register multiple bone fragments of a fracture
using a global registration method guided by a statistical anatomical atlas model. The atlas …
