SBIR Phase II: Rock Art Data Recording, Management and Analysis: An Integrated System Incorporating 3-D Laser and Digitizing, Geographic Information Systems, & Photogramm

* 9801160 Ebert这是Ebert and Associates，Inc.的小型企业创新研究第二阶段提案。旨在开发一种在统一的三维数据库中提供有效和准确记录，管理，分析和可视化岩石艺术数据的方法，以适应岩石艺术研究人员，保护人员，管理人员和其他数据用户使用的各种尺度和分辨率。 第一阶段的研究表明，岩石艺术专业和市场需要一个集成系统，用于岩石艺术数据记录，管理和分析，包括现场三维激光和接触数字化，数字和传统摄影以及使用全球定位系统进行数据收集，数字摄影测量和表面建模进行数据简化，用于数据输入和数据库管理的CAD和地理信息系统技术，以及用于数据分析和显示的其他一些数字技术。 第二阶段的研究目标侧重于制定方法，通过这些方法，数据收集、简化、管理、分析和显示技术将被整合为一个连贯的整体。 适当的岩石艺术数据记录，减少，管理和分析/可视化子系统组件和集成软件和方法一起使用，将指定，并将开发和组装一个原型一般总岩石艺术系统。 这个硬件/软件系统将在一些不同的岩石艺术的情况下进行测试。 该项目对科学研究和教育以及对文化遗产的保存、保护和管理具有价值。 岩石艺术研究人员，考古学家，人类学家，文物保护人员，文化资源管理人员和美洲原住民团体-在美国和世界各地-将受益于这样一个系统的发展。 此外，还有其他情况，共享岩石艺术图像的捕获中固有的问题，修改后的系统可以应用于这些情况，例如地质构造的编目以及污染地点的3-D数据的编目、管理和分析。 ***

*** 9801160 Ebert This Small Business Innovation Research Phase II proposal from Ebert and Associates, Inc. seeks to develop a means of providing efficiently and accurately recorded, managed, analyzed, and visualized rock art data within a unified 3-dimensional database, accommodating a wide range of scales and resolutions for use by rock art researchers, conservators, managers, and other data users. Phase I research indicated that the rock art profession and market needs an integrated system for rock art data recording, management, and analysis incorporating in-field 3-dimensional laser and contact digitizing, digital and conventional photography and the use of global positioning systems for data collection, digital photogrammetry and surface modeling for data reduction, CAD and geographic information systems technologies for data input and database management, and a number of other digital technologies for data analysis and display. Phase II research objectives focus on the development of methods by which data collection, reduction, management, analysis and display technologies will be integrated into a coherent whole. Appropriate rock art data recording, reduction, management and analysis/visualization subsystems components and integrative software and methods for their use together will be specified, and a prototype general total rock art system will be developed and assembled. This hardware/software system will be tested in a number of different rock art situations. The project has value for scientific research and education and for the preservation, conservation and management of cultural heritages. Rock art researchers, archaeologists, anthropologists, conservators, cultural resource managers, and Native American groups--in the United States and worldwide--will benefit from the development of such a system. In addition, there are other situations that share the problems inherent in the capture of rock art images to which a modified system could be applied, such as in the catalog uing of geologic formations and the cataloguing, management, and analysis of 3-D data at polluted sites. ***
