SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR AUTOMATICALLY TRANSLATING AN IMAGED SURFACE OF AN OBJECT
First Claim
1. A method, comprising:
- receiving, by a system comprising a processor, a plurality of photographic images of an object obtained from different positions relative to the object;
processing, by the system, the plurality of photographic images to determine a three-dimensional model of the object;
determining, by the system, from the three-dimensional model of the object, a graphical representation of a surface of the object comprising a plurality of inscriptions indicative of a writing;
transcribing, by the system, the plurality of inscriptions of the graphical representation of the surface of the object to determine a plurality of markings;
determining, by the system, from at least one marking of the plurality of markings, a plurality of alternative corresponding symbols;
determining, by the system, a plurality of alternative transliterations of a symbol of the plurality of alternative corresponding symbols; and
determining, by the system, a plurality of alternative translations of a transliteration of the plurality of transliterations.

Abstract
A system that incorporates teachings of the subject disclosure may include, for example, receiving a graphical representation of an object surface having a number of inscriptions indicative of information encoded upon the object surface. The graphical representation of the object surface is transcribed by the system to determine markings from the inscriptions. A number of alternative corresponding symbols are determined by the system. The alternative corresponding cuneiform symbols are determined from a number of the markings. A number of alternative transliterations are determined by the system. The alternative transliterations are determined from of a symbol of the multiple alternative corresponding symbols. A number of alternative translations are also determined by the system of a transliteration of the multiple translations transliterations. Other embodiments are disclosed.
