Epigrafía digital: tecnología 3D de bajo coste para la digitalización de inscripciones y su acceso desde ordenadores y dispositivos móviles

Abstract

The possibilities of image-based modeling (IBM) as a low-cost 3D scanning technique for modeling Roman inscriptions are analysed. The study, carried out at the National Museum of Archaeology (Madrid), examined a wide range of Roman inscriptions (on stone, bronze and clay). The results obtained have proved to be excellent for cataloguing, studying and disseminating this type of historical documentation. The 3D Roman inscriptions can be incorporated into digital epigraphy projects in progress, allowing access via personal computers and mobile devices at no extra cost to researchers.
