Data Capture Framework and Testbed for Cultural Heritage Materials Sayeed Choudhury Hodson Director Johns Hopkins University Tim DiLauro Deputy Director Johns Hopkins University This session will present research on a fully automated robotic system for on-demand and batch scanning of print materials (CAPM) and an open-source software framework for document analysis that can be trained and calibrated by humanists (Gamera). The resulting system will include an inter-linked mechanism between CAPM and Gamera. To evaluate different techniques for document analysis, including Gamera, we will build a testbed of digital images. Gamera will be usable designed according to the principles of usability which include effectiveness, efficiency and satisfaction. Web Links: http://dkc.jhu.edu/CAPM http://dkc.jhu.edu/gamera
