Short Description

The VRAK3D project integrates archaeology, architecture, and AI to enhance Cultural Heritage understanding. Focusing on the Glanum site, it has four phases: 1) Creating a 3D model integrating archaeological knowledge, aiding further discoveries. 2) Developing a formalized corpus of objects using ontologies like CRM-CIDOC, detailing morphology and inter-object relationships. 3) Utilizing deep learning to identify and localize objects of interest from photographs for 3D mapping. 4) Implementing VR for virtual site tours and knowledge interface. This project promises automated image and 3D model semantization, enriching the field with innovative technical applications.
