MLR dataset of KU Leuven cuneiform tablet NP 47

MLR dataset of KU Leuven cuneiform tablet NP 47 Dataset including the processed results of one Multi-Light Reflectance (MLR) recording + derivates, produced with the KU Leuven Portable Light Dome system >>>CONTENT<<< One inscribed cuneiform tablet, a script from Southwest Asia used in the time period ca. 3500 BCE - 75 AD, a Neo-Sumerian (2112-2004 BCE) delivery-document of barley. Its collection numbers is NP 47, standing for Naster Paul (former professor in Assyriology at KU Leuven and compiler of this collection). The tablet is kept at the KU Leuven, presumably since 1947-1948. >>>PUBLICATION<<< The digital assets of the cuneiform tablets in the dataset has been used for the published study: Hameeuw, Hendrik 2012: "1947: Two Tablets as a Christmas Gift to a Leuven Assyriologist", in: T. Boiy et al. (eds), The Ancient Near East, A Life! Festschrift Karel Van Lerberghe (Orientalia Lovaniensia Analecta 220), Leuven, 268-277. see also: https://limo.libis.be/primo-explore/fulldisplay?docid=LIRIAS1815979&context=L&vid=Lirias&search_scope=Lirias&tab=default_tab&lang=en_US >>>THE DATASET<<< (1) RAW, source image set (in recordings folder, 260 .pnm files for each of the 6 recorded sides) + processed results (.csp files, in relightings folder) of a Multi-Light Reflectance (MLR) acquisition and digitizing procedure as obtained with the Portable Light Dome system (2) Final processed results (based on data in (1)), i.e. interactive relightable .cun file (including for each tablet all recorded sides) (3) Derivate 3D models based on the data in the .cun files (in folder '3Ds', .ply, .pgm & .hdr files) (4) Derivate JPG raster images based on the data in the .cun file: ° color: .jpg file with color information and simulating one static condition how raking light interacts on the surface, each time on all recorded sides ° shaded: .jpg file without color information and simulating one static condition how raking light interacts on the surface, each time on all recorded sides ° sketch: .jpg file using the information of the surface orientations to accentuate rapid variations in the relief, each time on all recorded sides (5) Derivates based on the 3D models (.ply), see (3): ° 3D-radiance scaling: .jpg file with radiance scaling render shader and simulating one static condition how raking light interacts on the surface, each time on all recorded sides ==> the .cun file can be consulted via https://www.heritage-visualisation.org/viewer/ >>>DATA ACQUISITION<<< Recordings by Hendrik Hameeuw at KU Leuven: August 2009 & September 2010 >>>PROCESSING<<< The Multi-Light reflectance dataset: with 'PLDdigitize.exe' by ESAT/VISICS at KU Leuven Derivates of the Multi-Light Reflectance dataset: 'PLDviewer.exe' by ESAT/VISICS at KU Leuven; GIMP GNU Image Manipulation; Adobe Photoshop; Meshlab
