June 2020 - 2024
recognition techniques for recognition of Roman Emperors
Project summary:
This is a project in collaboration with the University of Nijmegen, Faculty of Arts. The aim of this project is to apply SOTA automated techniques for image analysis and pattern recognition to extract features from and compare sculptures of Roman Emperors on the basis of 2D photographs and/or 3D scans.
More specifically, we will try to find answers to the following questions:
- To what extent do portraits of the same emperors, created by different sculptors resemble each other
- Is it possible to determine if a portrait depicts an emperor or another person of importance based on certain features like e.g. hairstyle?
- Is it possible to reliably verify if a portrait shows a specific emperor?
- Is it possible to decide if a portrait shows a specific emperor in a shortlist of e.g. 2-3 emperors?
- Is it possible to identify the depicted emperor in a portrait from the complete set of emperors?
