Imaging and Image Analyses Applied to Historical Objects

本次研讨会将探讨一系列与新兴技术相关的问题，用于与捕获，数字化和分析历史对象相关的成像高级研究。 这些包括历史文献，视觉图像和三维（3D）文物，其中许多都是在广泛分散的集合中找到的，并且具有有限的访问权限。通过数字化历史对象，关键属性既被保存，同时又使传统方法无法进行的研究成为可能。这样的研究到目前为止可能是不可能的，因为一个研究问题需要研究保存在世界各地的收藏品中的大量数据，或者因为研究希望检查人眼看不到的细节，例如保存在重写本中的擦除文本的遗骸，圆柱密封上的微型文字等，或者难以客观比较的模式（例如，面组图像的图案）。 伊利诺伊大学厄巴纳-香槟分校和国家超级计算应用中心的一个团队在人文、艺术、科学和技术高级合作实验室（HASTAC）的支持下组织和召开了这次活动。

This workshop will explore a range of issues related to new and emerging technologies for advanced research for imaging related to capturing, digitizing and analyzing historical objects. These include historical documents, visual images, and three-dimensional (3D) artifacts, many of which are to be found in widely-scattered collections and having restricted accessibility. By digitizing historical objects, critical attributes are both preserved and at the same time enable studies that are impossible with the traditional approaches. Such studies might have been impossible up to now either because a research question requires study of large quantities of data preserved in collections around the world or because the study wishes to examine details invisible to the human eye, such as the remains of erased texts preserved in palimpsests, miniature scripts on cylinder seals, etc. or patterns that are hard to compare objectively (e.g., patterns of quilt images). A team at the University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign and the National Center for Supercomputing Applications organize and convene the event in collaboration and with support from the Humanities, Arts, Science, and Technology Advanced Collaboratory (HASTAC).
