Chronological ordering and graphical restoration of Japanese ancient tomb mounds

我们已经建立了一套系统的程序，根据定义的四个维度对给定的日本古墓进行时间排序，这些维度包括土丘的长度、圆背的直径、颈状部分的宽度和正方形前面的宽度。在实践中，我们已经试探性地设计了一张测定墓丘年代的年表，并实验性地尝试用它来确定一小部分古代墓丘的年代。另一方面，我们距离建立一个完整的程序来估计墓丘的原始三维形状还有很长的路要走。原因是现存的一些墓丘在细节上略有不同，尽管它们的形状在定义的尺寸方面是相同的。这个问题与一个人是什么有关。然后从理论上讨论了一组相似个体与每个个体之间的关系，建立了通过信息处理来处理墓丘个体形状的基本方法。最后，我们对正在进行类似项目的欧洲大学进行了学术考察：我们发现，文物的时间顺序和图形修复应该与有效利用考古和地理数据库密切相关，这一点很重要。

We have established a systematic procedure to carry out chronological ordering of given Japanese ancient tomb mounds based on the defined four dimensions of the mound, which include length of the mound, diameter of the round back, width of the neck-like part and width of the square front. In practice we have tentatively designed a dating chart for dating a tomb mound and have experimentally tried to use it for dating a small number of ancient tomb mounds. On the other hand, we still are a long way from establishing a complete procedure to estimate an original 3-dimensional shape of a tomb mound. The reason is that there are a number of existing tomb mounds which are slightly different in detail even though their shapes are same in terms of the defined dimensions. This problem is associated with what an individual is. Then we have theoretically discussed a relation between a group of similar individuals and each individual, establishing a basic way to handle an individual shape of the tomb mound by information processing. Finally, we have made academic inspections on European universities where similar projects are going on: We have found it important that chronological ordering and graphical restoration of artifacts should be closely related to effective use of archaeological and geographical databases.
