Abstract

In the reassembly processes made with archaeological remains by archaeologists or restorers; the analysis of fragments of the remains, designing the matching assumptions, rehearsing and cross-comparison of these assumptions on the real fragments of the remains, and finally assembling the adjacent fragments according to the proposed reconstruction assumptions are done manually. However, reassembly steps are time-consuming and exhausting because of the large number of parts, wear of the parts and deletion of the patterns and colors on the parts. In this study, an application has been developed that creates the image of the real object by combining digital images of relic objects such as two-dimensional fragmented wall paintings and mosaics, which emerged as a result of archaeological excavations, with the help of using image processing and geometric methods. On the developed application, it has given successful results in recreating the real object image within the specified constraints

İki Boyutlu(2D) Arkeolojik Parçalanmış Nesnelerin Görüntü İşleme ve Geometrik Metotları Kullanarak Birleştirilmesi

Abstract

Arkeologlar ya da restoratörler tarafından arkeolojik kalıntılar ile yapılan tekrar birleştirme süreçlerinde; ilk olarak kalıntı parçalarının analizi, eşleşen varsayımları tasarlama, kalıntı gerçek parçaları üzerinde bu varsayımları prova yapma ve çapraz karşılaştırma ve son olarak da öngörülen yeniden yapılandırma varsayımına göre bitişik parçaların birleştirilmesi adımları el ile yapılmaktadır. Bununla birlikte parça sayısının fazla olması, parçaların aşınması, parçaların üzerindeki desen ve renklerin silinmesi nedeniyle tekrar birleştirme adımları zaman alıcı ve zor bir süreçtir [1],[2],[3]. Bu çalışmada arkeolojik kazılar sonucunda ortaya çıkan iki boyutlu parçalanmış duvar resimleri ve mozaikler gibi kalıntı nesnelerinin dijital görüntüleri üzerinden görüntü işleme ve geometrik yöntemler kullanarak tekrar birleştirerek gerçek nesnenin görüntüsünü oluşturan bir uygulama geliştirilmiştir. Geliştirilen uygulama üzerinde farklı iki boyutlu parça görüntülerinin belirlenen kısıtlar kapsamında gerçek nesne görüntüsünü yeniden oluşturmada başarılı sonuçlar vermiştir.
