A 2-day symposium on Image Analysis and Systematic Palaeography will take place at the Institut de Recherche et d’Histoire des Textes (Paris) on April 14-15, 2011, serving as the conclusion of the research program ANR GRAPHEM (Grapheme based Retrieval and Analysis for PalaeograpHic Expertise of medieval Manuscripts)
The research program ANR GRAPHEM (2008-2011), lead by the LIRIS (UMR 5205, Laboratoire d’InfoRmatique en Image et Systèmes d’information), federates four resarch teams: 2 laboratories in computer science (LIFO, EA 4022, Laboratoire d’Informatique Fondamentale d’Orléans, and LIPADE, Laboratoire d’Informatique Paris Descartes, former CRIP5) and 2 in human sciences (Institut de recherche et d’histoire des Textes and Ecole nationale des chartes). Its aim is to improve the data mining and image processing techniques applied to medieval scripts and their classification.
This symposium will not only present the technological achievements or the software and tools produced during this research program, but also draw a methodological conclusion on interdisciplinary work in the field of Palaeography and Image Analysis.
