3D-COFORM

The Dome-tool is a combination of the actual hardware setup, currently located in our lab in Bonn, and the corresponding software tools. It can be deployed for the acquisition of any small, movable cultural heritage artifact (< 20*20*20 ccm). In its final configuration, the tool is intended to support the acquisition of objects with complicated surface materials, like reflective or translucent materials (e.g. metals or gems), which pose a difficult challenge for conventional 3D measurements. The result of the acquisition is a precise 3D geometry of the object's shape and faithful representation of the object's surface materials in the form of a bidirectional texture function.
