The benefits of using visual and multimedia analysis techniques in this domain are manifold. First, automatic and semi-automatic content-based analysis methods can provide scholars in the h...
متن کاملEvaluating Shape Descriptors for Detection of Maya Hieroglyphs
In this work we address the problem of detecting instances of complex shapes in binary images. We investigated the effects of combining DoG and Harris-Laplace interest points with SIFT and HOOSC descriptors. Also, we propose the use of a retrieval-based detection framework suitable to deal with images that are sparsely annotated, and where the objects of interest are very small in proportion to...
متن کاملAssessing Sparse Coding Methods for Contextual Shape Indexing of Maya Hieroglyphs
Abstract— Bag-of-visual-words or bag-of-visterms (bov) is a common technique used to index Multimedia information with the purposes of retrieval and classification. In this work we address the problem of constructing efficient bov representations of complex shapes as are the Maya syllabic hieroglyphs. Based on retrieval experiments, we assess and evaluate the performance of several variants of ...

Hieroglyphs dominated the landscape of the Egyptian civilisation. These elaborate symbols were ideal for inscriptions on the walls of majestic temples and monuments, and indeed the Greek word hieroglyphica means 'sacred carvings', but they were too fussy for day-to-day scribbling, so other scripts were evolved in Egypt in parallel. These were the 'hieratic' and 'demotic' scripts, which can crud...
متن کاملWhat Are Phonetic C
