Zusammenfassung:

Often comprising vast numbers of artifacts, prehistoric lithic assemblages are presented in publications in the form of drawings, diagrams, photographs, or extracts from 3D acquisitions. These visual representations are designed to highlight the most characteristic typological and technological features of a given assemblage. However, the selection of pieces to illustrate is dictated by constraints of time, budget, or space. Moreover, inaccuracies in drawings or poorly lit photographs can cause confusion and problems of interpretation, while more precise, complex, or time-consuming methods can only be applied to a limited number of objects. After a brief overview of the advantages and limitations of the main types of stone tool representations, namely standard drawing and photography, we detail the acquisition of 3D models through photogrammetry in relation to Reflectance Transformation Imaging (RTI). Although less widely known than 3D imaging, RTI is an inexpensive, easily transferred photographic method that can be performed using non specialist equipment. It allows for the visualization of an object's interactions with artificial light and enhances the perception of its microtopography. RTI provides a more comprehensive documentation of stone tools, including flake scars, use-wear traces, and post-depositional alterations, and thereby enhances the accuracy and, by extension, the objectivity of stone tool representations and artifact characterization.

Zusammenfassung:

Natural history collections are invaluable reference collections. Digitizing these collections is a transformative process that improves the accessibility, preservation, and exploitation of specimens and associated data in the long term. Arthropods make up the majority of zoological collections. However, arthropods are small, have detailed color textures and share small, complex and shiny structures, which poses a challenge to conventional digitization methods. Sphaeroptica is a multi-images viewer that uses a sphere of oriented images. It allows the visualization of insects including their tiniest features, the positioning of landmarks, and the extraction of 3D coordinates for measuring linear distances or for use in geometric morphometrics analysis. The quantitative comparisons show that the measures obtained with Sphaeroptica are similar to the measurements derived from 3D μCT models with an average difference inferior to 1%, while featuring the high resolution of color stacked pictures with all details like setae, chaetae, scales, and other small and/or complex structures. Shaeroptica was developed for the digitization of small arthropods but it can be used with any sphere of aligned images resulting from the digitization of objects or specimens with complex surface and shining, black, or translucent texture which cannot easily be digitized using structured light scanner or Structure-from-Motion (SfM) photogrammetry.
