Augmenting Jordanian Heritage

该项目是对AHRC“碎片化遗产”项目的增强，该项目旨在通过将新的变革性数字记录方法和计算分析引入传统劳动密集型领域，从而彻底改变景观、遗址和人工制品分析。由此产生的技术和能力的规模将在遗产科学中研究空间和功能数据的方式上产生范式转变。碎片化遗产已经开发出一种方法来修复被折断（剥落）的石器。在这项研究的扩展中，我们的目标是将该方法应用于重建由于人类和自然因素而遭受持续破坏的破碎和碎片化的遗产物体和纪念碑。这项前沿研究将为博物馆和遗产地提供机会：1)用3D方式记录重要的遗产材料；2)对碎片化文物进行数字化改造，实现360度全方位展示；3)以数字模型为指导，决定是否对碎片物体进行物理修复。这项研究使我们能够更直接地为那些受到战争和地震等灾害影响的地方的公共宣传做出贡献，这些地方的伟大遗产已经存在或曾经存在过。到目前为止，还没有人能够创造出一种方法，将破碎的三维物体以数字方式重新组装起来。我们的方法是在遗产和工程科学的最前沿。通过在约旦博物馆展示这项研究，我们预计研究结果将对遗产领域（如考古学、历史学、保护学）以及专门从事遗产介绍和传播的博物馆和组织产生重大影响。这个项目的扩展有助于为约旦的遗产基础设施带来直接的能力和能力，并在项目传播期间通过相互作用向其他官方发展援助国家提供同样的能力和能力。目的是改造约旦博物馆现有的虚拟存在。我们将对碎片化的文物样本进行数字化重建，以展示3D修复方法在因气候变化、战争、地震和其他有害事件而受损的文物、雕像和纪念碑上的潜在应用。它建立在现有的碎片化遗产项目的基础上，通过翻译和应用作为数字化改造和展示领域研究项目的一部分的研究。

This project is an enhancement to the AHRC 'Fragmented Heritage' project, which aims to revolutionize landscape, site, and artefact analyses by bringing new transformative digital recording methods and computed analysis to fields that are traditionally labour intensive. The scale of the resultant technology and capability will generate a paradigm shift in the way that spatial and functional data are studied in the heritage sciences. Fragmented Heritage has developed a means for refitting knapped (flaked) stone tools. In this extension of that research, we aim to apply the method to reconstruct broken and fragmented heritage objects and monuments that have sustained damage as a result of human and natural agencies. This cutting edge research will provide museums and heritage sites the opportunity: 1) to record their important heritage materials in 3D; 2) to refit fragmented heritage objects digitally, which can then be displayed in 360 degrees; 3) to decide whether to repair the fragmented object physically using the digital model as a guide. This research allows us to contribute much more directly to public outreach in places where disasters such as war and earthquakes have impacted on the great heritage that exists or once existed.Until now no one has been able to produce a methodology to refit broken three dimensional objects back together digitally. Our methodology is at the very forefront of heritage and engineering sciences. By demonstrating this research at the Jordan Museum, we expect the results will greatly impact on the heritage fields (e.g., archaeology, history, conservation), and for museums and organisations specialized in the presentation and distribution of heritage understanding.This project extension serves to bring direct capacity and capability to the heritage infrastructure in Jordan and to afford the same to other ODA countries as a result of interactions during project dissemination.The aim is to transform the existing virtual presence of The Jordan Museum. We will digitally reconstruct a sample of fragmented heritage objects to demonstrate the potential application of the 3D refit methodology for objects, statuary, and monuments damaged as a result of climate change, warfare, earthquakes and other harmful events. It builds on the existing Fragmented Heritage project by translating and applying research conducted as part of that program of research in the area of digital refitting and presentation.
