Motivated by the requirements of the present archaeology, we are developing an automated system for archaeological classification and reconstruction of ceramics. This paper shows a method to answer archaeological questions about the manufacturing process of ancient ceramics, which is important to determine the technological advancement of ancient culture. The method is based on the estimation of the profile lines of ceramic fragments, which can also be applied to complete vessels. With the enhancements shown in this paper, archaeologists get a tool to determine ancient manufacturing techniques.

We present a method that partitions a single image into two layers, requiring that one layer has similar properties in terms of pixel colour variation to a provided template patch. First the paper provides a new view on defining a similarity function for a pixel with its small neighbourhood to be part of the texture described by the template patch. This results in better description of pixels near the texture boundary. Second, it is shown how the Maximally Stable Extremal Regions (MSERs), originally designed for wide baseline stereo matching, can be used to locally merge pixels having the same intensity and thus reduce the dimension of the graph representing the image. The MSERs help in texture description and yield significant reduction of memory and computation time. Finally the graph is fed into the ***/*** algorithm to cut the graph into two parts. Performance of the method is presented on some images from the Berkeley database. Finally, restrictions in using the method are discussed.

Using real world images, two hierarchical graph-based segmentation methods are evaluated with respect to segmentations produced by humans. Global and local consistency measures do not show big differences between the two representative methods although human visual inspection of the results show advantages for one method. To a certain extent this subjective impression is captured by the new criteria of 'region size variation'

Laser hybrid welding process is widely studied today, with many researchgroups trying to clarify the phenomena during the process. Many of the changes occurring during laser hybrid welding process can be observed with the help of high speed imaging. The high speed of the droplet formation and their movement to the melt pool set strict requirements for the imaging frequency in order to provide reliable information about the process. Because of large number of images produced by the high-speed (over 1000 Hz) imaging, it is time-consuming, error-prone, and frustrating to inspect the process manually, using only the human eyes for the observation. These problems could be alleviated by an automated system for the observation. This paper presents an off-line machine vision system created and used to study videos of CO2 laser-MAG hybrid welding experiments in which welding parameters were changed one at a time. The quality of the welds was observed by visual and macrographic examination. In the study, the regularity of pulse frequency of the arc and direction of filler material droplet flight were measured with the help of machine vision. Due to stable nature of keyhole welding part of the process, these characteristics show the stability of the whole welding process. It was found out that the automatic observation can be used if the quality of the images remains good enough. Experimentally, the inspection system provided information that the welding parameters have an effect on direction of droplet movement. This kind of automatic observation of changes in the process could provide a valuable tool for process optimization. The gathered information can be utilized in achieving an optimized process giving the best possible productivity.

Most of the existing work regarding topology preserving hierarchies is mainly preoccupied with 2D domains. But recently attention has turned to 3D, and more generally, nD representations. Even more than in 2D, the necessity for reducing these representations exists and motivates the research in hierarchical structures i.e. pyramids. Using representations that support any dimension, like e.g. the combinatorial map, n dimensional irregular pyramids can be built, thus obtaining reduced representations of the original data, while preserving the topology. This paper presents 3D combinatorial maps and the primitive operations needed to simplify such representations. Minimal configurations of the three primitive topological configurations, simplex, hole, and tunnel, and two possible configurations for two tori are presented. Experimental results and possible applications show the potential of the approach

Motivated by the requirements of modern archaeologists, we are developing a documentation system based on structured light for acquisition of ceramics. Fragments of ceramics are daily finds at excavations and important for archaeological research, because their shape leads to information about ancient cultures. The shapes used for documentation are called profile lines and estimated by a vertical cross-section of orientated fragments. As ceramics have been produced using rotational plates for several thousands of years, the rotational axis can be used for orientation. Therefore we conducted experiments using existing methods for estimation of the rotational axis. The drawbacks of these methods are the requirement of either complete objects or industrialized quality of symmetry. Therefore we show a new method using circle templates, which has been inspired by the manual method of archaeologists. In this work we present results using previous and related work in comparison with the estimation of the rotational axis using circle templates. The results of the presented methods are shown for synthetic data, well-known fragments and real data acquired at an archaeological excavation. Finally a conclusion and an outlook is given.
