Image Processing Methods for Determining Visual Manuscript and Character Features (Z03)

• Subject Area: Image and Language Processing, Computer Graphics and Visualisation, Human Computer Interaction, Ubiquitous and Wearable Computing
• Term: from 2011 to 2019
• Project identifier: Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG) - Project number 181924784

Having successfully created a prototype of an image-processing workbench for manuscript analysis known as ARMA, the focus of coming work in this project is on enhancing the existing tools and providing services with them. The aim here is to provide a generic platform (a portal-based solution) with established and novel methods of image processing/analysis in order to facilitate practical research. At the end of the second phase of funding, a pilot system will be available for collaborative use called the "Advanced Manuscript-analysis Portal" (AMAP).
