Abstract

In this paper we present a framework developed in order to record, construct, pre-process, manage, visualize and visually navigate 3D models reality based of large archaeological sites and architectural monuments for eHeritage 3DGIS systems. The framework is the results of fifteen years of researches and experiments done on different subject and situations. The developed applications were designed for different types of users, with a largely scalable interface, able to support different output devices and to work at different levels of iconicity. The last part of paper presents a major case study of framework application: the Pompeii archaeological site information system.
