Abstract

Our research topic is to present how to remake the original geometry and the visualization of a 16th century piece in CAD system. This article gives an overview, which introduce a complex method we used to create solid body from a scanned point cloud, on which different virtual simulations can be carried out. For the solution of the task we have developed a method for creating a surface texture, which is capable of displaying photo-realistic virtual models as well. The process itself innovative and novel, which can be used in varied places and it can also facilitate the manual restoration procedure.
