An ancient Egyptian settlement located near the modern village of Tell Umm el-Baragat in the Al Fayyum Governorate. Tebtunis was founded by Amenemhat III around 1800 BC and flourished during the Ptolemaic period.
Tarquinia is one of the foremost Etruscan cities, and its necropolis with the famous painted tombs is a UNESCO World Heritage Site (nominated 2004). The Università degli Studi di Milano is in charge of the excavations and researches on the Civita plateau, under the direction of M. Bonghi Jovino (since 1982) and currently of G. Bagnasco Gianni (since 2004), in agreement with the Superintendency of Southern Etruria and the local Authorities.
An ancient city of Etruria and the leading city of the doudecim populi Etruriae, Tarquinia (called Tarch(u)na or Tarchna in Etruscan) was a major urban center of ancient Italy.
TARKUNIA: Fonti letterarie antiche su Tarquinia è un progetto interdisciplinare volto alla creazione di un database per la raccolta e consultazione delle fonti antiche relative alla città etrusca di Tarquinia.
An important settlement in the eastern Nile delta (modern San el-Hagar), Tanis boasted a massive temple precinct and was the burial site for Egyptian kings of the 21st and 22nd dynasties.
The Villa Arianna is a structural complex located at the archaeological site Stabiae, Italy. The villa is renowned for its frescoes.
The Center for Advanced Spatial Technologies (CAST), University of Arkansas conducted a high density survey of the Villa Arianna in 2010. The survey focused on the garden floor and the adjoining rooms. The original scan files and registered point cloud are available here.
Original scans (unedited) in e57 format (Note: Some are not included in the final registration), transformation matrices for each scan, Registered point cloud in ASCII format. NOTE: A portion of the scans for the House of the Charioteers (those with the Charioteer_ suffix) were aqcuired from a lift boom to provide the necessary vantage points to aqcuire data for some of the structures' tall walls. However, as a result of the windy conditions during the survey and the subsequent movement of the scanner/lift boom, there is movement evidenced in several of the scans. The easiest way to spot this movement is to look for an unnatural ripple or wave pattern in the dataset. This pattern is not always constant and can appear to varying degrees within and between scans. Also, due to insufficient computing power at the time the data were processed, not all of the scans acquired for the House of the Charioteers was registered to one another. The scans that were not included in the final registered dataset have also been archived. Prior to registration 64 of the scans were edited to remove extraneous data. The edited scans were imported into Polyworks IMAlign (and gridded) and then registered. The transformation matrices from the edited scans were exported and are provided here with the original, unedited scans. The final registered point cloud has also been provided as a single ASCII file.
Original scans (unedited) in e57 format (Note: Some are not included in the final registration), transformation matrices for each scan, Registered point cloud in ASCII NOTE: All scans were aqcuired for the Case Giardino from a lift boom which provided the necessary vantage points to aqcuire data for most of the structure's tall walls. However, as a result of the windy conditions during the survey and the subsequent movement of the scanner/lift boom, there is movement evidenced in most of the scans. The easiest way to spot this movement is to look for an unnatural ripple or wave pattern in the dataset. This pattern is not always consistent and can appear to varying degrees within and between sans. Prior to registration all scans were edited to remove extraneous data. The edited scans were imported into Polyworks IMAlign (and gridded) and then registered. Only 31 of the 45 scans were used in the final registered dataset. The transformation matrices from the edited scans were exported and are provided here with the original, unedited scans. The final registered point cloud has also been provided as a single ASCII file.
Original scans (unedited, prior to registration) in e57 format, transformation matrices for each scan, Registered point cloud in ASCII. All scans were aqcuired for the Capitoline temple from a lift boom which provided the necessary vantage points to aqcuire data for most of the strcture's tall walls. However, as a result of the windy conditions during the survey and the subsequent movement of the scanner/lift boom, there is movement evidenced in most of the scans. The easiest way to spot this movement is to look for a ripple or wave pattern that extends how horizontally across the datset (a result of the scanner/left boom moving up-and-down). This pattern is not always consistent and can appear to varying degrees within and between sans. Prior to registration all scans were edited to remove extraneous data. The edited scans were imported into Polyworks IMAlign (and gridded) and then registered. The transformation matrices from the edited scans were exported and are provided here with the original, unedited scans. The final registered point cloud has also been provided as a single ASCII file.
