Building Archaeological Photograph Library (2008)
Rei S. Atarashi, Masakazu Imai, Hideki Sunahara, Kunihiro Chihara, Tadashi Katata
Abstract. The photographs taken at excavation fields are one of most important materials. It is expected to digitize and save these photographs in the computer system because of difficulty of...
Estimating Reflectance Parameters from Saturated Spectral Images (2008)
Shi Ying Li, Yoshitsugu Manabe, Kunihiro Chihara
Since commercial image detectors, such as charge-coupled device (CCD) cameras, have a limited dynamic range, it is difficult to obtain images that really are unsaturated, as a result of which the...
