Dialogue: 0,0:03:20.03,0:03:23.53,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And so two weeks after we saw this video,

Dialogue: 0,0:03:38.78,0:03:40.90,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Now, many of you may be wondering,

Dialogue: 0,0:03:46.36,0:03:48.82,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and it was invented here, in Germany.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:49.89,0:03:53.30,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,It is the technology that allows us\Nto use two-dimensional images

Dialogue: 0,0:04:03.49,0:04:05.02,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Let me show you how it works.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:05.05,0:04:07.82,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Here are two crowdsourced images\Nof the same statue.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:08.93,0:04:10.32,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,What the computer can do
Dialogue: 0,0:04:10.35,0:04:14.56,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,is it can detect similar features\Nbetween the photographs --
Dialogue: 0,0:04:14.59,0:04:16.62,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,similar features of the object.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:17.57,0:04:20.54,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Then, by using multiple photos,
Dialogue: 0,0:04:20.57,0:04:24.30,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,in this case, it can begin\Nto reconstruct the object in 3D.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:24.82,0:04:25.96,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,In this case,
Dialogue: 0,0:04:25.99,0:04:29.42,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,you have the position of the cameras\Nwhen each image was taken,
Dialogue: 0,0:04:29.44,0:04:30.62,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,shown in blue.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:32.28,0:04:35.70,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Now, this is a partial\Nreconstruction, I admit,
Dialogue: 0,0:04:35.72,0:04:37.31,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,but why would I say partial?
Dialogue: 0,0:04:37.62,0:04:42.30,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Well, simply because the statue\Nwas positioned against a wall.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:42.87,0:04:45.47,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,We don't have photographs\Ntaken of it from the back.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:46.34,0:04:51.29,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,If I wanted to complete a full\Ndigital reconstruction of this statue,
Dialogue: 0,0:04:51.32,0:04:53.02,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I would need a proper camera,

Dialogue: 0,0:04:54.82,0:04:57.31,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,but we simply can't do that\Nwith crowdsourced images.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:58.15,0:04:59.30,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Think about it:
Dialogue: 0,0:04:59.32,0:05:01.56,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,How many of you, when you visit a museum,
Dialogue: 0,0:05:01.58,0:05:03.82,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,take photographs\Nof all parts of the statue,
Dialogue: 0,0:05:03.84,0:05:05.31,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,even the back side of it?
Dialogue: 0,0:05:06.41,0:05:10.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Well, maybe if some of you find\NMichelangelo's David interesting,

Dialogue: 0,0:05:13.17,0:05:14.66,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,But the thing is,
Dialogue: 0,0:05:14.68,0:05:17.82,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,if we can find more images of this object,
Dialogue: 0,0:05:17.84,0:05:19.47,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,we can improve the 3D model.
Dialogue: 0,0:05:21.13,0:05:23.31,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,When we started the project,
Dialogue: 0,0:05:23.33,0:05:25.48,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,we started it with\Nthe Mosul Museum in mind.
Dialogue: 0,0:05:25.50,0:05:27.17,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,We figured we may get a few images,
Dialogue: 0,0:05:27.20,0:05:28.44,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,some people interested,
Dialogue: 0,0:05:28.46,0:05:30.94,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,make one or two virtual reconstructions,
Dialogue: 0,0:05:30.97,0:05:35.73,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,but we had no idea that we had sparked\Nsomething that would grow so quickly.
Dialogue: 0,0:05:36.28,0:05:37.83,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Before we knew it,
Dialogue: 0,0:05:37.85,0:05:39.88,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,we realized it was obvious:
Dialogue: 0,0:05:39.91,0:05:43.81,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,we could apply this same idea\Nto lost heritage anywhere.
Dialogue: 0,0:05:44.56,0:05:48.57,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And so, we decided to change\Nthe name of the project to Rekrei.
Dialogue: 0,0:05:50.01,0:05:52.53,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Then, in the summer of last year,

Dialogue: 0,0:08:18.52,0:08:20.27,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,However, we're much more interested

Dialogue: 0,0:08:30.82,0:08:36.48,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,we can show that we have reconstructed\Nthree parts of the exterior of the tomb,

Dialogue: 0,0:08:42.78,0:08:45.69,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Archaeologists worked there\Nfor many, many years,
Dialogue: 0,0:08:45.71,0:08:50.45,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,so we also have architectural\Ndrawing plans of this lost heritage.

Dialogue: 0,0:09:19.29,0:09:20.77,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,But what this represents
Dialogue: 0,0:09:20.79,0:09:24.54,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,is the ability for large, public\Norganizations and private industry

Dialogue: 0,0:09:45.04,0:09:48.48,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So we have begun to develop a tool

Dialogue: 0,0:09:56.40,0:10:03.16,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Because we're not only losing cultural\Nheritage to natural disasters and in war,

Dialogue: 0,0:10:16.76,0:10:21.37,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,this was the example of human\Ndestruction by human stupidity.
Dialogue: 0,0:10:21.95,0:10:27.26,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Because a tourist in Lisbon\Nwanted to climb onto this statue

Dialogue: 0,0:10:36.97,0:10:38.26,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,We need to remember
