Deciphering the Maya writing is an ongoing effort that has already started in the early 19th century. Inexpertly-created drawings of Maya writing systems resulted in a large number of misinterpretations concerning the ...

Stone tools constitute the main artifacts facilitating archaeological research of the Paleolithic era. The reassembly of stone tools is the most important research work for analyzing human activities of that period. In ...

Virtual reassembly problems are often encountered in the cultural heritage domain. The reassembly or "puzzling" problem is typically described as the process for the identification of corresponding pieces within a part ...

At the end of the second year of activity and after having completed the first steps in the development of its main goals, the project "INCEPTION - Inclusive Cultural Heritage in Europe through 3D Semantic Modelling" is ...

Digital manipulation and analysis of tangible cultural objects has the potential to bring about a revolution in the way classification, stylistic analysis, and refitting of fragments are handled in the cultural heritage ...

In this paper, we present some of the novel results of the Marie Curie Initial Training Network for Digital Cultural Heritage (ITN-DCH) project, describing briefly the work done focusing on the project's first case study: ...
