Abstract
Cultural heritage (CH) artifacts, such as ceramics and clothes, reflect the unique characteristics of ancient cultures and have the potential to be sustainably employed in modern design and entertainment. In particular, the shape of ceramics reflects regional and historical characteristics, so datafication is a promising avenue to preserve these assets for future generations. However, design is a specialized domain that requires significant human (expert and novice) labor. This often tedious process decreases the labeler’s motivation to complete the task, and data consistency varies with the experience and motivation of the labeler. To increase engagement, we developed an image labeling platform with graphical icon-based labeling methods and introduced gamification. The robust labeling methods with gamification increased novices’ engagement and decreased the workload of expert and novice labelers, but decreased data agreement between experts and novices, so we consider opportunities for gamification within the specialized cultural heritage domain.
Highlights
Cultural heritage (CH) artifacts are an important link between cultures, as well as between the past and the future [1]
Cumbersome and need for design knowledge (NDK) (ρ = 0.630, p = 0.038) are inversely proportional, and need for CH knowledge (NCHK) and NDK (ρ = 0.852, p = 0.001) are proportional. These results suggest the novice labeler can use our system without help and the system is not cumbersome
The results show that our proposed annotation system for the labeling of CH artifact design elements encourages novice labelers to engage in the labeling task
Summary
Cultural heritage (CH) artifacts are an important link between cultures, as well as between the past and the future [1]. These objects have significant historical and educational value; shapes, decorations, and materials give us insight into the beliefs, economic trends, and lifestyles of the people in a particular region or time period [2]–[4]. To establish a classification system, researchers must rely on labeling to create a quantitative database Such systematic analysis will save time in analyzing newly excavated artifacts and provide a blueprint for the reconstruction of lost artifacts, helping researchers better understand their historical and educational value [6]. Analysis and classification of CH artifacts can bring together diverse fields such as archaeology, historiography art history, fashion and design, and provide a common point of reference for cross-disciplinary collaboration [7], [8]
