In this paper, we present a system for visually retrieving an- cient inscriptions, developed in the context of the ongoing Europeana network of Ancient Greek and Latin Epigraphy (EAGLE) EU Project. The system allows the user in front of an inscription (e.g, in a museum, street, archaeological site) or watching a reproduction (e.g., in a book, from a monitor), to automatically recognize the inscription and obtain information about it just using a smart-phone or a tablet. The experi- mental results show that the Vector of Locally Aggregated Descriptors is a promising encoding strategy for performing visual recognition in this specific context.

Abstract
In this paper, we present a system for visually retrieving an- cient inscriptions, developed in the context of the ongoing Europeana network of Ancient Greek and Latin Epigraphy (EAGLE) EU Project. The system allows the user in front of an inscription (e.g, in a museum, street, archaeological site) or watching a reproduction (e.g., in a book, from a monitor), to automatically recognize the inscription and obtain information about it just using a smart-phone or a tablet. The experi- mental results show that the Vector of Locally Aggregated Descriptors is a promising encoding strategy for performing visual recognition in this specific context.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
