- 设计机器人辅助流水线，自动搬运与扫描照片
- 扫描效率提升30倍，成功处理170万张跨65国航拍图
- 适合文化遗产数字化、地理信息研究者参考
20世纪期间，航空测绘拍摄了数亿张高分辨率地球表面图像，这些图像作为现代卫星影像的前身，记录了20世纪环境与社会剧变的视觉档案。然而，大多数图像仍存于实体档案中，检索困难且成本高昂。数字化可彻底改变访问方式，但人工扫描速度慢、成本高。本文描述并验证了一种新型机器人辅助流水线，使扫描工作效率提升30倍，已应用于大规模数字化65个国家的170万张历史航拍照片档案。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
During the 20th Century, aerial surveys captured hundreds of millions of high-resolution photographs of the earth's surface. These images, the precursors to modern satellite imagery, represent an extraordinary visual record of the environmental and social upheavals of the 20th Century. However, most of these images currently languish in physical archives where retrieval is difficult and costly. Digitization could revolutionize access, but manual scanning is slow and expensive. Automated scanning could make at-scale digitization feasible, unlocking this visual record of the 20th Century for the digital era. Here, we describe and validate a novel robot-assisted pipeline that increases worker productivity in scanning 30-fold, applied at scale to digitize an archive of 1.7 million historical aerial photographs from 65 countries.
