Abstract

The research of a relic excavated from remains has become popular.But a lasermeasurement device is mainly used for measuring shapes of fragments and can't measure uneven complicated shapes.So the X-ray computed tomography to make 3-dimensional measurement possible has begun to be used as a measurement device, but the model generation needs the hand of man still more.In this research, we proposea procedure to automatically recover surface models of fragments with complicated shapesfrom slice image measured with an X-ray computed tomography.We have already reporteda basic restoration system with MRI [1], and models restored with the system are useful tovisualization or simulation of relic restoration.Regrettably, the models are not enough precise for experts such as archeologists to make detailed investigation possible.Much more precise model are needed to match the aim of experts.
