We present an interactive application for browsing severely damaged documents and other cultural artefacts.
Such documents often contain strong geometric distortions such as wrinkling, buckling, and shrinking and cannot
be flattened physically due to the high risk of causing further damage. Previous methods for virtual restoration
involve globally flattening a 3D reconstruction of the document to produce a static image. We show how this global
approach can fail in cases of severe geometric distortion, and instead propose an interactive viewer which allows
a user to browse a document while dynamically flattening only the local region under inspection. Our application
also records the provenance of the reconstruction by displaying the reconstruction side by side with the original
image data
