“Inca reconstruction using shape grammar”
Abstract:
Müller et al. introduced CGA shape, a shape grammar for procedural modeling of architecture [Müller et al. 2006b], which they applied to Mayan archaeological site in Xkipché [Müller et al. 2006a]. Inspired by this application of shape grammars to archaeology, we built a simple reconstruction application that uses a shape grammar to build 3D Inca sites from 2D plans. The application can help users to create a quick 3D overview of an Inca site that they are studying.
