Abstract
This paper describes an experiment regarding the efficiency of the 3D reconstruction from multiple angles 2D X-ray radiographs of cultural heritage artifacts of different volumes and complexities. The goal of the study was to try of reconstruct 3D models of the said artefacts without any set-up adjustment or complex targeting system. Using a fixed X-ray generator, the objects were rotated at different angles following photogrammetry rules of area overlapping in the recorded images. Method limitations and recommendations are explained and discussed based on the resulted 3D models..
