Help virtually restore the Mosul Museum
- tsomctl 12y agoHow practical would it be to automatically search the web for images of the Mosul Museum? Has anyone calculated SIFT descriptors for all of Flickr or Picasa? Seems like with enough computing and bandwidth, and a set of seed images of objects in the Museum, someone could search the entire web automatically for the needed images.
- neshmi 12y agoIt isn't impractical, but our cursory searches revealed few images of the museum. Unfortunately it has been closed for over a decade, meaning very few people with digital cameras have been in there in recent years. But, we can use scanned slides and frames from videos too.

- neshmi 12y agoWe are using similar software. In fact, we will use a suite of tools to generate the models. Agisoft's PhotoScan, VisualSFM, SURE... just to name a few.
