Visual media dataVisual Media Data: any type of visual representation of Archaeological sites or objects:
• Standard 2D images (high-resolution)
• Advanced 2D images (PTM, RTI, panoramic images, HDR)
• 3D models (single or complex scenes)
• Videos
• GIS data
Services offered by ARIADNE• Production of visual data: MeshLab (CNR-ISTI)• Publication of 3D data on the web: 3D-HOP (CNR-ISTI)• ARIADNE Visual Media Service (CNR-ISTI)• Geographical data (Production & Visualisation): Landscape
Services (CNR-ITABC)
MeshLab• OpenSource tool (GPL) supporting
mesh processing and visualisation of triangle meshes
• Started as an academic project• Evolved to a complete and
sophisticated system • Downloaded by >350,000 users by
2013, worldwide • Leading open platform for mesh
editing of sampled 3D datahttp://meshlab.sourceforge.net/
CNR-ISTI
MeshLab: training and support• ARIADNE partners have good experience of the production of visual
media (2D and 3)• CNR-ISTI supports this activity (TNA, summer schools and training)

• Video tutorials are available for MeshLab:– A series of short videos, each dedicated to a specific functionality– Delivered via YouTube for free:

3DHOP: Visual data on the web• 3D visualization on web pages is now possible with
WebGL & SpiderGL• CNR’s “3DHOP” (3D Heritage Online Presenter) can
be used to simplify the production of web-based presentations or installations: http://vcg.isti.cnr.it/3dhop/
Visual media service

Visual media service
Conversion of data assets to a web-compliant format, thus supporting easy publication and visualization on the web• 3D models• Reflection Transformation Images (RTI)• High Resolution 2D images• High Dynamic Range (HDR) images
Visual media service: user perspective
• For each visual media asset:– The user fills a simple form and uploads the data
file– An automatic service on the ARIADNE server will
open, convert, transform in a browsable page and output the URL (or a .zip file) to the user
– The user links the media asset in his archive using the provided URL
Demo
http://visual.ariadne-infrastructure.eu/
Details page for each media type
• Describes the media type and the services that are offered: conversion, streaming, visualisation on the web, etc.
Browse
http://visual.ariadne-infrastructure.eu/browse
• Users can search and browse the content that has already been uploaded
Uploading your media• For each media asset the
user fills in a simple form:– Email, name institution– Label, title, description, tabs,
url for a page describing the asset
– Copyright owner– Collection (optional) – You can ask to keep the object
private• Select file to upload• Accept terms and conditions• And upload!

ARIADNE landscape services
http://landscape.ariadne-infrastructure.eu/
Landscape services• These online services focus on the generation and
management of 2D / 3D interactive WebGIS environments in a collaborative way, through open-source frameworks.
• Web services include: – Cloud services– 3D Terrain Services– Tools for visualization, interaction and editing– Distributed composing services– 2D services
Cloud service• You can register as a single user, a research
group or a whole institution• Users can upload, manage and modify data
involved in processing tasks (both input and output).
• The ARIADNE Service use ownCloud, which has been customized
• Services are optimized for desktop and mobile with full support for mobile and desktop clients.

3D Terrain Service: registering• To start a 3D Terrain project you first need to
register and log in to the Cloud service
3D Terrain Service: upload• Data (DTMs/DEMs, Geo-images, ESRI shape files) for
your 3D terrain project is uploaded to the Cloud service
3D Terrain Service: output• Next you specify the output to control how your
3D terrain model will be generated or published
3D Terrain Service: processing• The services will list your available input data • Responsive web interfaces for user tasks
– customization of different parameters (database resolution, extents, imagery attributes, etc.).
• Web servers then process the data and alert you once 3D terrain data processing has completed
Landscape services: Terrain Gallery
• Browse sample datasets• View your own datasets (when logged in)
http://landscape.ariadne-infrastructure.eu/gallery.php
View and download options
You can also fully delete a 3D terrain and its related data (it will NOT delete the cloud input data) – but don’t delete the sample datasets!.
Call for applications• Summer schools:
– Digital curation of archaeological knowledge, Athens, 12-17 June
– 3D documentation, Pisa, 20-24 June– Archaeological datasets, Pisa, 4-8 July
• Individual training– Mapping existing data to CIDOC CRM, Prato– Design of scientific datasets, Prato
• Bursaries available!

Talking pointsAriadne was the daughter of Minos, King of Crete.She gave a all of thread to Theseus so that he could find his way out of the Minotaur's labyrinth.
Our ARIADNE is a research infrastructure.We give a portal so researchers can find archaeological datasetsand tools to visualise and publish their results.
