ArcheoMich


ArcheoMich is an image processing and analysis software used to study archeological sites and objects by building point cloud representation of them and obtained different descriptors that can be used by Archeologist to study them. The program was developed in C++ and CUDA as a collaboration between the Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México, The University of Auckland, and the Instituto Nacional de Antropología e Historia.
