Abstract:
In this paper, a method for a pro le estimation of an archaeological pottery based on their fragments (sherds) is presented. Since investigated pots were made on a potter’s wheel, the rotational symmetry of the original objects is assumed. In addition, sherds are oriented before the estimation. Using these constraints, an acquisition method based on a model of a sherd is proposed. The method is simple, stable and robust. The proposed method has been tested on both synthetic models and real archaeological sherds.
