o Group Discussion of key Issues of State of the Art and Future Directions, at Both the Conceptual and Quantitative Levels

This is for the participation of all those attending the workshop. The hope is that participants will have given thought to some of these issues prior to this discussion. There will be a 5 minute discussion, just before the lunch break, at which participants at the workshop can submit additional questions and matters to be included in the afternoon discussion.

Goals of this Discussion.

I. Archaeological needs and problems

Create a listing of Existing and New archaeological problems which have not been tackled but solution of which would provide high payoffs.

Existing problems represented at this workshop are:

  1. Archaeological object (pots and murals) reassembly from fragments.
  2. 3D surface geometry estimation of archaeological artifacts from "dense data" laser scans.
  3. 3D surface geometry estimation of archaeological artifacts from images taken by a moving camera.
  4. Archaeological site visualization
  5. Restoration of archaeological object geometry
  6. 3D surface texture analysis, and texture synthesis for restoration.
  7. Metric measurement of 3D geometric "structure" from various types of data sets.

In most of these classes, only a few of the possible problems have received attention at this workshop or at conferences.

What are pressing problems that have not been addressed?

More generally, what are classes that are not represented in this list?

II. Algorithms

Specific algorithms and procedures have been presented in this workshop. A major question of interest to the CVPR community and to archaeologists concerns the level of effectiveness and the availability of these approaches, algorithms, and software. Let's try to summarize this information.

Specifically, what is the state of the art in particular algorithms (including those presented at this workshop) with respect to:

  1. "Accuracy" and the possibility for accuracy improvement.
  2. Applications and their needs (such as accuracy).
  3. Ease of use, i.e., extent of automation or need for human/machine interaction.
  4. Availability to the user community.

III. Databases.

Some data is already available to the user community, and consideration is being given to making other data available.

What are these data sets and their forms, and where are they available?

It is desired that the end result of this discussion session be a short report summarizing the conclusions. The report will be distributed to the discussion participants in order to include their corrections and thus accurately represent the group's consensus.

The report will then be made available to the outside community.
