One of the tasks of the project presented in this paper was to document, reconstruct in 3D, and visualize a collection of Neolithic pottery from the area of Lesser Poland. The digitization was performed using a structured-light scanner and, in two cases, photogrammetric software. The reconstructions were modelled on the basis of digital representations of scans of original fragments by adding successive...

Not everyone can withstand...
