As a special case of pattern detection, we developed a computational approach to analyse images of writing supports in order to detect lines (such as sieve imprints or papyri fibres) and estimate their density. These detected lines form a pattern, which can be used as a distinctive feature of the writing support.

The main goal of this software tool is to analyse images of writing supports in order to detect lines (such as sieve imprints or papyri fibres) and estimate their density. These detected lines form a pattern, which can be used as a distinctive feature of the writing support. More details can be found here.
