Augmentation of the Panorama of the Battle of Murten (1893) - Experimental Annotation System for the World Largest Digital Image of a Single Object

2024

Abstract

The subject of Scholarly Edition and Digital Scholarly Edition has predominantly revolved around text-based content, a phenomenon attributed to historical and technical reasons. Throughout history, including visual material in books has been prohibitively expensive, even with the advent of printing technology. Additionally, annotating visual material in books, particularly when it's large and of unusual format, is constrained by various factors such as page size, aspect ratio, reader habits, typesetting, and printing quality. However, digital tools enable us to reimagine our approach to this challenge. This new approach finds exemplification in various domains, such as film and virtual worlds. Leveraging recent advancements in digital imaging, streaming technology, and semantic web technologies, this paper presents our approach to developing a novel semantic annotation platform for visual cultural heritage.

Printing

Printing is a process for mass reproducing text and images using a master form or template. The earliest non-paper products involving printing include cylinder seals and objects such as the Cyrus Cylinder and the Cylinders of Nabonidus. The earliest known form of printing as applied to paper was woodblock printing, which appeared in China before 220 AD for cloth printing. However, it would not be applied to paper until the seventh century.

Printing press

A printing press is a mechanical device for applying pressure to an inked surface resting upon a print medium (such as paper or cloth), thereby transferring the ink. It marked a dramatic improvement on earlier printing methods in which the cloth, paper, or other medium was brushed or rubbed repeatedly to achieve the transfer of ink and accelerated the process. Typically used for texts, the invention and global spread of the printing press was one of the most influential events in the second millennium.

Digital imaging

Digital imaging or digital image acquisition is the creation of a digital representation of the visual characteristics of an object, such as a physical scene or the interior structure of an object. The term is often assumed to imply or include the , , , printing and display of such images. A key advantage of a , versus an analog image such as a film photograph, is the ability to digitally propagate copies of the original subject indefinitely without any loss of image quality.
