Computer Vision and Historical Scientific Illustrations
Résumé
The VHS project (computer Vision and Historical analysis of Scientific illustration circulation) proposes a new approach to the historical study of the circulation of scientific knowledge based on new methods of illustration analysis. Our contributions in this paper are twofold. First, we present a semi-automatic interactive pipeline for scientific illustration extraction that allows and incorporates expert feedback from historians. Second, we introduce a new dataset of scientific illustrations from the Middle Ages to the modern era consisting of 8k illustrations validated by historians and a total number of 235k illustrations obtained from 405k corpora pages. We further discuss our current research for identifying a series of related illustrations from this data.
