|
The Tomb of the Monkey is located in the Necropolis of Poggio Renzo, about 4 kilometres from the city of Chiusi. It dates to 480-470 B.C. and was discovered by Alessandro Francois in March 1846. It takes its name from a monkey painted on the walls of the central chamber of the tomb. This tomb has been related to other similar tombs in Tarquinia, where paintings of games and funeral dances are found, however it lacks any representation of banquets.

Name | Metric survey - Monkey Tomb |
Description | Combined TOF scanning and panoramic photographic surveys were carried out to obtain the complete 3D model. The TOF range data were used to derive the geometry of the tomb, while the panoramic image was used to derive the photo-realistic high resolution texture. |

Name | Modelling and digitization process - Monkey Tomb |
Description | In-house developed algorithms and combined with commercial packages were used to generate a dense point cloud. The obtained dense point cloud was triangulated to derive a mesh model and finally a high resolution texture was generated. |
