Our work includes several contributions: definition of consistent conventions to generate high-quality representations of Maya hieroglyphs from the three most valuable ancient codices, currently residing in European museums and institutions; a digital repository system for glyph annotation and management; as well as automatic glyph retrieval and classification methods. We study the combination of statistical Maya language models and shape representation within a hieroglyph retrieval system, the impact of applying language models extracted from different hieroglyphic resources on various data types, and the effect of shape representation choices for glyph classification. A novel Maya hieroglyph dataset is contributed, which can be used for shape analysis benchmarks, and also to study the ancient Maya writing system.

definition of consistent conventions to generate high-quality
representations of Maya hieroglyphs from the three most valuable ancient codices, currently residing in European museums and institutions; a digital repository system for glyph annotation
and management; as well as automatic glyph retrieval and
classification methods. We study the combination of statistical
Maya language models and shape representation within a hieroglyph
retrieval system, the impact of applying language models
extracted from different hieroglyphic resources on various data types, and the effect of shape representation choices for glyph classification. A novel Maya hieroglyph dataset is contributed, which can be used for shape analysis benchmarks, and also to study the ancient Maya writing system.
