Image Database of the Mammalian Crania

在这最后一年我们的研究项目，我们完成了哺乳动物头盖骨的图像数据库存储在独居大学医学院。在这一年里，我们检查了许多过去两年拍摄的头颅图像。我们测量了每个哺乳动物的头骨，并在这个数据库中列出了它们的尺寸。我们做了一张检查表，然后用这些项目检查了图像。该影像数据库已通过互联网在以下地址向公众开放。我们的数据库标题为“哺乳动物头盖骨图片档案”。http：//lkai.dokkyomed.ac.jp/mama.htmlhttp：//lkai.dokkyomed.ac.jp/mama1.html该数据库中使用的头骨总数为1093个个体，包括12个哺乳动物目，34科，72属，100种。每个头骨从六个方向(右和左，上和下，前和后)拍摄。因此，拍摄的照片数量是6558张。测量值(最大颅长、最大宽度等)还描述了头骨的形状。我们使用Corbet，G.B.和J.E.Hill(1991)提出的哺乳动物分类，Imaizumi(1988)提出的分类用于日本哺乳动物。去年，我们在日本人类学学会年会上组织了一次关于图像数据库的研讨会。在那里分发了该图像数据库试用版的光盘，以检查我们的数据库是否方便。

In this last year for our research project, we completed the image database of mammalian cranium stored in Dokkyo University School of Medicine. In this year, we checked many cranial images, which have been taken in last two years. We measured each mammalian skulls and listed their measurements in this database. We made a check sheet, and the image was checked following with these items. This image database has been opened to the public in the following address through internet. The title of our database "Mammalian Crania Picture Archive".http : //lkai.dokkyomed.ac.jp/mammal.htmlhttp : //lkai.dokkyomed.ac.jp/mamma1.htmlTotal number of the skulls used in this database were 1093 individuals, including 12 mammalian Orders, 34 Families, 72 Genera, 100 Species. Each skulls are photographed from six directions (right and left side, top and bottom side, anterior and posterior side). Therefore, the amount of the photographs taken is the 6558 sheets. The measured value ( maximum cranial length, maximum width, etc.) of the skull described also. We used the mammalian classification advocated by Corbet, G.B.& J.E.Hill (1991) The classification proposed by Imaizumi (1988) was used for Japanese mammals. We organized a symposium on the image database in the annual meeting of the Anthropological Society of Nippon last year. The CD-ROM of the trial edition of this image database was distributed there to check the convenience of our database.
