VISUALIZING UNCERTAINTY IN VIRTUAL RECONSTRUCTIONS

The virtual reconstruction of lost buildings as means of recreating lost cultural heritage has become a strongly growing field of application for computer graphics [1]. Research results of historians and archeologists are used by computer scientists to create computer models as base for visualizations. Typically, off-the-shelf software is employed that allows generating images with the quality of photographs (see, for example, Figure 1).
