Digital Heritage2013 International Conference has honoured by two different prizes (best paper award and ACM Journal on Computing and Cultural Heritage-JOCCH award) the CRS4 work Improving the digitization of shape and color of 3D artworks in a cluttered environmentco-authored by Fabio Bettio, Enrico Gobbetti, Emilio Merella and Ruggero Pintus, researchers of the Visual Computing group. The award-winning paper describes an innovative approach to improve the digitization of shape and color of 3D artworks in a cluttered environment, using 3D laser scanning and flash photography. The approach is demonstrated with an application to the large scale acquisition campaign of the Mont'e Prama complex (Sardinia, Italy), an extraordinary collection of stone fragments from the Nuragic era, depicting larger-than-life archers, warriors, boxers, as well as small models of prehistoric nuraghes.
