Abstract

To assist archaeologists in their work of analysis and reconstruction of archaeological objects from their fragments, several environments have been developped in which virtual fragments can be manipulated. As a part of these environments, an important tool consists in automating the search for correct assemblages between two 3D objects by evaluating their matching surfaces. In this paper, we describe a new environment for computer aided reconstruction of archaeological objects and we propose a new method to estimate the quality of an association based on a surface area evaluation.
