12 Weeks | Digital Preservation
Cultural institutions and researchers face difficulties in preserving and studying fragile historical artifacts. Physical handling increases the risk of damage, while limited access prevents broader research and public engagement. A scalable, non-invasive digital solution was needed to preserve artifacts while making them accessible for education, research, and virtual exhibitions.
Built depth-estimation models using LiheYoung/depth-anything-small-hf to extract precise artifact geometry.
Generated 3D meshes and applied high-resolution texture mapping to preserve authentic details.
Created scalable models suitable for research, restoration planning, and virtual displays.
Enabled storage and sharing of 3D models through cloud platforms for accessibility and collaboration.
