AbstractThe manifold relationships between text and image are investigated by analysing attempts at a three-dimensional reconstruction of the Palace of Love and Venus described in Giovan Battista Marino’s Adonis. From text analysis and iconographical precedents to free-hand sketching and three-dimensional modelling, the article describes the progressive translation of some verses of the poem into a consistent system of drawings and models, which, besides revealing some hidden features of text, addresses the implicit limits of the ineffable quality of Marino’s literary space.

Abstract. The work of cultural heritage protection has risen to the national strategic level in China in recent years. More and more high and new technologies are applied in the fields of cultural relics and archaeology, heritage protection, etc., including the drone photography technology. Because the cultural protection industry has high requirements for the accuracy of reconstruction results, it puts forward higher requirements for the three-dimensional reconstruction of drones. In this paper, the factors affecting the reconstruction accuracy of the rotor unmanned opportunity are analyzed and summarized in the archaeological protection of cultural relics, and the technical integration of the oblique photography technology in archaeological work is carried out to improve the quality of modeling results.

Online rapid three-dimensional reconstruction is widely applied in virtual reality, heritage preservation, bio-engineering and architectural fields. The error caused by image quality or manual import is the main reason for the low quality of model details when applying current reconstruction methods while meeting the time premise. To solve this problem, the paper proposes a fast and smooth carving algorithm for online 3d reconstruction by joining the filter. By applying the method, you can get a more realistic and smooth three-dimensional reconstruction results. First, we convert the input point cloud to meshes through Delaunay tetrahedralisation. Then we reconstruct the model with the space carving algorithm with the filter to obtain the result. The experiment result shows our method exceeds existing methods while meeting the time constraints under the premise at the same time.

Techniques for three-dimensional reconstruction of macromolecular complexes from electron micrographs have been successfully used for many years. These include methods which take advantage of the natural symmetry properties of the structure (for example helical or icosahedral) as well as those that use single axis or other tilting geometries to reconstruct from a set of projection images. These techniques have traditionally relied on a very experienced operator to manually perform the often numerous and time consuming steps required to obtain the final reconstruction. While the guidance and oversight of an experienced and critical operator will always be an essential component of these techniques, recent advances in computer technology, microprocessor controlled microscopes and the availability of high quality CCD cameras have provided the means to automate many of the individual steps.During the acquisition of data automation provides benefits not only in terms of convenience and time saving but also in circumstances where manual procedures limit the quality of the final reconstruction.

The tomographic reconstruction from multiple projections of cellular components, within a thick section, offers a way of visualizing and quantifying their three-dimensional (3D) structure. However, asymmetric objects require as many views from the widest tilt range as possible; otherwise the reconstruction may be uninterpretable. Even if not for geometric obstructions, the increasing pathway of electrons, as the tilt angle is increased, poses the ultimate upper limitation to the projection range. With the maximum tilt angle being fixed, the only way to improve the faithfulness of the reconstruction is by changing the mode of the tilting from single-axis to conical; a point within the object projected with a tilt angle of 60° and a full 360° azimuthal range is then reconstructed as a slightly elliptic (axis ratio 1.2 : 1) sphere.

Hemocyanin, the respiratory pigment of the scorpion Androctonus australis is composed of 24 kidney shaped subunits. A model of architecture supported by many indirect arguments has been deduced from electron microscopy (EM) and immuno-EM. To ascertain, the disposition of the subunits within the oligomer, the 24mer was submitted to three-dimensional reconstruction by the method of single-exposure random-conical tilt series.A sample of native hemocyanin, prepared with the double layer negative staining technique, was observed by transmisson electron microscopy under low-dose conditions. Six 3D-reconstructions were carried out indenpendently from top, side and 45°views. The results are composed of solid-body surface representations, and slices extracted from the reconstruction volume.The main two characters of the molecule previously reported by Van Heel and Frank, were constantly found in the solid-body surface representations. These features are the presence of two different faces called flip and flop and a rocking of the molecule around an axis passing through diagonnally opposed hexamers. Furthermore, in the solid-body surface of the top view reconstruction, the positions and orientations of the bridges connecting the half molecules were found in excellent agreement with those predicted by the model.

Chaperonins are a class of proteins characterized by their role as morphogenetic factors. They trantsiently interact with the structural components of certain biological aggregates (viruses, enzymes etc), promoting their correct folding, assembly and, eventually transport. The groEL factor from E. coli is a conspicuous member of the chaperonins, as it promotes the assembly and morphogenesis of bacterial oligomers and/viral structures.We have studied groEL-like factors from two different bacteria:E. coli and B.subtilis. These factors share common morphological features , showing two different views: one is 6-fold, while the other shows 7 morphological units. There is also a correlation between the presence of a dominant 6-fold view and the fact of both bacteria been grown at low temperature (32°C), while the 7-fold is the main view at higher temperatures (42°C). As the two-dimensional projections of groEL were difficult to interprete, we studied their three-dimensional reconstruction by the random conical tilt series method from negatively stained particles.
