development of a photographing technique of digital archiving for stone monuments

我们开发了将石质古迹存档的方法，其中包括获取石质古迹表面照片的设备和包括图像处理单元的数据库系统。我们利用研制的装置获得了一系列石碑表面的照片，并提供了相机和光线的角度和距离信息。这些图片被存储到数据库服务器中，并由安装在数据库系统中的程序进行处理。我们可以通过图像处理获得纪念碑表面的字符，并将它们与额外输入到数据库中的信息进行关联。数据库系统还存储了每个图像处理序列。通过参考前人分析的序列，我们可以半自动地进行图像处理，以获得石碑表面的字符。

We developed methods for archiving stone monuments, which includes devices for obtaining pictures of the surface of stone monuments and a database system including image processing units. We obtained series of pictures of the surface of stone monuments using the developed device, with information of the angle and distance of the camera and light. Those pictures were stored to the database server and processed by the programs installed the database system. We could obtained the characters on the surface of the monuments by the image processing, and relate them with the information additionally entered to the database. The database system also stored each image processing sequence. By referring the sequences of the previous analyses, we could semi-automate the image processing for obtaining the characters on the surface of the stone monuments.
