Methods for High-Resolution Visualization Of 3D Surfaces

Summary

This is an abstract from the "SAA 2023: Individual Abstracts" session, at the 88th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology.

Modern methods of 3D characterization, like photogrammetry and structured light scanning, can capture high-resolution models of inscribed surfaces. Visualization and enhancement of surface details on these models can be limited by the computational requirements for manipulating high face and vertex counts. We present several methods for working around these issues and obtaining visualizations that can reveal subtle surface details. Examples presented include inscribed Mayan monuments from Xunantunich and Lamanai in Belize, and petroglyphs from the American Southwest.
