Langweil s model of Prague This realistic, 1826-37 paper model of Prague, named after its creator, shows more than two thousand buildings in the city's historic centre in detail, and covers an area of some 20 m 2. In its size, technical mastery and excellent artistic expression it is one of the most spell-binding works ever made by human hand. Realistic paper model of Prague 1826-1837 More than 2000 buildings of historical Prague center First time presented to public in 1862 Model scale 1:480 One of the most detail urbanistic paper models in the world The model geometrically corresponds to real status of today s historical center 90% of model is made from the paper and wood Model surface 20 m 2 divided into 52 separate parts

Project objectives Main objectives of Digital Langweil s Model: Digital archive of physical model Exhaustive detailed map of the model ( GIS ) Availability to experts and scientists Today s and historical Prague comparison Many public applications of the model: Multimedia CD/DVD about the model Digital presentation of the model at exhibitions Interactive applications (games, )
Project DLM Digital Langweil s Model of Prague (DLM): Public tender (2006) Project stages: Preparation / analysis Systematic capturing 3D model reconstruction Experts Application (GIS/GIS3D) Applications for public Public release of the project: Q4 / 2008
Models difficulties Why is digitalization process of the model extremely difficult? Extreme details in both geometry and textures ~ macro Internal resolution of textures is ~ 1200 DPI Langweil was miniaturist, i.e. 3x3 mm signs on the walls (house orientation signs) Small letters on cemetery stones Statues on the Charles bridge Lamps on the walls St. Vitus Cathedral Average height of a house ~ 6,5 cm Very narrow streets (~ 3 mm) Painted arcades Jan Buriánek, Visual Connection, a.s.
Models resolution 10 lpi ~ 300 DPI 20 lpi ~ 600 DPI 40 lpi ~ 1200 DPI Expected during Minimum needed Optimal 16x more project preparation data and processing then expected Jan Buriánek, Visual Connection, a.s.
Data acquisition process systematic capture Special capturing photo robot
Data acquisition process systematic capture Special measurement procedures 3D scanning - Just for very complex geometry of the Cathedral Laparoscopic camera - Narrow streets etc. Professional photo camera - Frontal views - Full-frame camera
Data acquisition process systematic capture Output data (first stage of the project): More than 244 400 calibrated pictures - 16Mpix digital photos - 13-bit per RGB channel Calibration measurement - Color reference - Scale reference Full project data database and documentary More than 6TB data

General notes for 3D projects General issues of 3D digitalization Extreme limitations during data acquisition process Very difficult budget planning (especially time planning) No standard for making 3D digital model. Various output forms required. The most stable digital medium has 30 years guarantee, no more
