Vesuvius Challenge - CT Scans of Herculaneum Papyri

This dataset contains reconstructed micro-CT volumes of carbonized Herculaneum papyri produced as part of the Vesuvius Challenge. The scanned scroll library survived the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in AD 79. It is the only intact library known to have survived from antiquity. The volumetric reconstructions are distributed as OME-Zarr multiscale datasets to support research in virtual unwrapping, segmentation, and text recovery of ancient scrolls. Deciphering these scrolls could forever change our understanding of Roman history.

本数据集收录了为维苏威挑战（Vesuvius Challenge）项目制备的碳化赫库兰尼姆纸莎草文献的显微计算机断层扫描（micro-CT）重建体数据。该扫描卷轴文献库在公元79年维苏威火山喷发事件中得以留存，是目前已知的唯一一套完整保存至今的古代文献馆藏。该体数据重建成果以OME-Zarr多尺度数据集的形式对外发布，可为古代卷轴的虚拟展开、图像分割与文本复原等相关研究提供支撑。破译这批卷轴或将彻底重塑我们对古罗马历史的认知。
