A Semi-Automated Framework for 3D Reconstruction of Medieval Manuscript Miniatures
This paper presents a semi-automated framework for transforming two-dimensional miniatures from medieval manuscripts into three-dimensional digital models suitable for extended reality (XR), tactile 3D~printing, and web-based visualization. We evaluate seven image-to-3D methods (TripoSR, SF3D, SPAR3D, TRELLIS, Wonder3D, SAM~3D, Hi3DGen) on 69~manuscript figures from two collections using rendering-based metrics (Silhouette IoU, LPIPS, CLIP~Score) and volumetric measures (Depth Range Ratio, watertight percentage), revealing a trade-off between volumetric expansion and geometric fidelity. Hi3DGen balances topological quality with rich surface detail through its normal bridging approach, mak...
