Interdisciplinary Workshop on 3D Paleo-Anthropology, Anatomy, Computer Science & Engineering - Synergies for the Future - June, 19-20 2008 - Muséum de Toulouse, France Updated on 14/6/2010	EVAN Network (EC)
Museum of Toulouse		ODENT Project, CNRS

• Micro CT-scan: examples of fossil images; what can be seen? What are the differences with classic CT-Scan? What are the practical problems to process such data (i.e. memory space)?
  • Talk: Bone microarchitecture scanners - MicroCT - XtremeCT (presentation in pdf), Audrey Berthier, Biomedical Engineer, MEDES - Institute For Space Physiology and Medicine, Toulouse , France
  • Demo: Micro-CT of fossils, José Braga, Professor, Laboratory of Anthropobiology, FRE2960, Toulouse, France
  • The human odyssey revisited by space technology (Web site).
• 3D surface scan: this technology is widely used (e.g. Minolta Vivid) and new devices which are less costly, more precise andtransportable have been made available these last years; examples of new devices; what are the practical problems (registering the different views, resolution of the texture); how is it possible to align 3D surface scan with 3D volume data?
• Talk: ARCHEOGRID: a National Conservatory of 3D Data of Cultural Heritage, Robert Vergnieux, Head of the 3D Technology Platform, Institut Ausonius, UMR5607, Pessac, France
• Demo: 3D surface scan of teeth, Tijani Gharbi, Professor ; Imen El Echmi, Ph.D. Student, FEMTO-ST Institute, UMR6174, Besançon, France
• ARCHEOGRID (Web site).
• Archéotransfert (Web site).
• R. Vergnieux. "Réalité Virtuelle et archéologie" in Les applications de la réalité virtuelle", 2006.
• J. Meneses et al. "Extended depth of field using shapelet-based image analysis". Applied Optics, 2008 (text in pdf).
• 3D modelling of artifacts: how to acquire the 3D geometry of artifacts (stone tools, material art) ? How to analyze them?
• Talk: 3D modelling of prehistoric stone tools - state of the art and comparative study (presentation in pdf), Quentin Borderie, ArScAn, UMR7041, Paris, France

• Demo: CT, micro CT and surface scan of a "bâton percé" (presentation in pdf), Francis Duranthon, Curator, Museum of Natural History, Toulouse, France ; Ludovic Brethes, Scientific Director, Noomeo, Toulouse, France ; Gérard Subsol, Senior Researcher, ICAR Team, LIRMM, UMR5506, France

• Archiving concerns: the digital format allows to exhange easily data by disks or through Internet. This opens new problems in terms of data integrity and copyrights.
  • Talk: Watermarking 3D images and 3D meshes: Applications for cultural heritage (presentation in pdf), William Puech, Assistant Professor, Head of the ICAR Team, LIRMM UMR5506, Montpellier, France

The session will be ended by a round-table where discussion between the all the participants will be encouraged.
