ITR: Digital Hammurabi - High Resolution 3D Imaging of Cuneiform Tablets

这项建议涉及开发应用于楔形药片成像的三维扫描方法。这一过程可以加深平板电脑几个世纪以来严重磨损的痕迹，从而使图像变得更清晰，从而使平板电脑更具可读性。专家小组对这项提案给予了极具竞争力的评级，指出这是一项出色的提案，在信息技术和人文社会科学方面进行了创新工作。对IT来说，影响是便携式、非常高分辨率的表面扫描仪和多分辨率算法的发展。对于人文科学来说，该项目代表着重要的工作，可能会非常广泛地应用于其他对象，结果是为更多的学者打开了新的研究领域。所开发的技术和技巧可以被引进到古代文化和语言的其他研究领域。

This proposal is concerned with developing of 3-D scanning methods to be applied to the imaging of cuneiform tablets. This process can make the tablets more readable by "deepening" the marks in tablets badly worn over centuries, thus sharpening the images. The panel gave this proposal a Highly Competitive rating, noting that it was an excellent proposal with innovative work in information technology and the humanities and social sciences. For IT, the impact is the development of a portable, very high resolution surface scanner and the multi-resolution algorithms. For the humanities, the project represents significant work with a potentially very wide application to other other objects with the result of opening up new fields of study to a larger group of scholars. The technology and techniques developed can be imported to other areas of study of ancient cultures and languages.
