Imaging incised documents.
Wooden stilus tablets and lead curse tablets from the Roman empire are among the most difficult ancient documents to decipher: the former because they often preserve traces of incised writing from more than one text on a surface characterised by wood-grain and casual damage; the latter because the s...

Like the stilus tablet scratches, the writing on a curse tablet is only visible under intense, low raking light, which needs frequent adjustment. This paper describes the initiation of a project to develop a new programme of stereoscopic, three-dimensional image enhancement in order to make these texts visible and legible. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: Y custom: © 2019 EADH: The European Association for Digital Humanities. item: Literary & Linguistic Computing holder: Oxford University Press / USA dt: @attributes: year: 1997 holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
