Fractured 3D object restoration and completion

The problem of object restoration from eroded fragments where large parts could be missing is of high relevance in archaeology. Manual restoration is possible and common in practice but it is a tedious and error-prone process, which does not scale well. So- lutions for specific parts of the problem have been proposed but a complete reassembly and repair pipeline is absent from the bib- liography. We propose a shape restoration pipeline consisting of appropriate methods for automatic fragment reassembly and shape completion. We demonstrate the effectiveness of our approach us- ing real-world fractured objects.
