Tools to Mine and Index Trajectories of Physical Artifacts

IIS-0803410挖掘和索引物理人工制品轨迹的工具该项目建议开发计算方法和工具，用于发现对人类学重要的物理人工制品的分布和历史发展中的时空模式，包括开发一种形状识别系统，使研究人员能够根据几个标准比较大量的投射点和岩石图形。这将涉及创建一套定义/数据表示/谓词/算法以及直观和可用的软件工具，以便能够研究物理物体的时空扩散。该提案使用创新技术来解决考古学的核心问题。但它对其他不同领域的研究也具有广泛的适用性。

AbstractIIS - 0803410Tools to Mine and Index Trajectories of Physical ArtifactsKeogh, EamonnUniversity of California-RiversideThe project proposes to develop computational methods and tools for the discovery of spatio-temporal patterns in the distribution and historical development of physical artifacts important to anthropology including the development of a shape recognition system that allows researchers to compare numerous projectile points and petroglyphs according to several criteria. This will involve creation of a set of definitions/ data representations/predicates/algorithms and intuitive and usable software tools to enable the study of the spatio-temporal spread of physical objects. The proposal uses innovative technology to apply to questions central to archaeology. but which also has broad applicability to research in other, diverse domans.
