Resumen de A simple numeric algorithm for ancient coin dies identification
A simple computer-based algorithm has been developed to identify pre-modern coinsminted from the same dies, intending mainly coins minted by hand-made dies, designed to beapplicable to images taken from auction websites or catalogs. Though the method is not intended toperform a complete automatic classification, which would require more complex and intensivealgorithms accessible to experts of computer vision, its simplicity of use and lack of specificrequirement about the quality of pictures can provide help and complementary information to thevisual inspection, adding quantitative measurements of the Ŗdistanceŗ between pairs of differentcoins. The distance metric is based on a number of pre-defined reference points that mark keyfeatures of the coin to identify the set of coins they have been minted from.
