A Digital Image Processing and Database System for Watermarks in Medieval Manuscripts
نویسندگان
چکیده
Watermarks are the most important tool for dating old, not explicitly dated paper documents. Hence, catalogues and databases of watermarks play an eminent role for the work of medievalist and paper historians. This article presents an integrated software system developed for storage, retrieval, manipulation, digital processing, and identification of watermarks in old manuscripts. The whole processing pipeline beginning with the scanning of watermarks up to their identification is described. Most of these watermarks were captured from manuscripts kept in the Klosterneuburg monastery (Austria).

متن کاملProcessing Digital Image for Measurement of Crack Dimensions in Concrete
The elements of the concrete structure are most frequently affected by cracking. Crack detection is essential to ensure safety and performance during its service life. Cracks do not have a regular shape, in order to achieve the exact dimensions of the crack; the general mathematical formulae are by no means applicable. The authors have proposed a new method which aims to measure the crack dimen...
