Brain-computer interfaces (BCI) record brain signals, analyze and translate them into control commands which are relayed to output devices that carry out desired actions. These systems do not use normal neuromuscular output pathways. Actually, the principal goal of BCI systems is to provide better life style for physically-challenged people which are suffered from cerebral palsy, amyotrophic l...

Technological advances in the field of 3D data acquisition, modeling and processing enable new possibilities for archaeological documentation, exploration and analysis of individual artifacts, entire excavation sites or reconstructions of past settlements and landscapes. The dissemination of this information together with suitable tools through virtual research platforms requires new methods of...

Our Moon is a potential indicator of a possible alien presence near the Earth at some time during the past 4 billion years. To ascertain the presence of alien artifacts, a survey for ruinlike formations on the Moon has been carried out as a precursor to lunar archaeology. Computer algorithms for semi-automatic, archaeological photo-reconnaissance are discussed. About 80,000 Clementine lunar orb...

Information about an archaeological investigation is documented in an archaeological report, which makes it the boundary object par excellence for archaeological information work across stakeholder communities such as field archaeologists, heritage managers, and land developers. The quality of reports has been a subject of debate, and recently it has been argued that more emphasis should be pla...

Research into the processes that form the archaeological record is an important component of archaeological practice because formation processes are a key link between the materials that archaeologists study and prehistoric societies that they seek to understand. Computational modeling is a comparatively new technology with potential to provide new insights into the dynamics of human societies,...

A new archaeological site was discovered accidentally in year 2018. surface survey revealed stone artefacts, which were generally dated to the Late Palaeolithic. Later, sondages opened and newly found artifacts proved earliest dating. Furthermore, it confirmed that local radiolarites exploited by Palaeolithic societies.

Archaeological trenches are mostly documented using 2D representations like hand-made or computeraided (CAD) drawings, photographs and rectified photographs. On the other hand computer vision techniques and range scanners become more and more popular for producing 3D models of archaeological sites. However, these models alone provide no information about the contained archaeological entities of...

Until now, computer vision and machine learning techniques barely contributed to the archaeological domain. The use of these techniques can support archaeologists in their assessment and classification of archaeological finds. The paper illustrates the use of computer vision techniques for archaeology with two examples: (1) a content-based image retrieval system for historical glass and (2) an ...

n field archaeology, analysis of an excavated region is a meticulous process requiring exploration at a variety of levels. While the act of excavation offers the best way for archaeologists to monitor close-range details, they can use empirically based analysis to analyze only the findings to which they themselves have been exposed. With a team of people excavating, synthesizing the wealth of o...
