Different time-consuming manual methods to determine and document the exact shapes and spatial locations of petroglyphs on a panel have been carried out over decades. We aim at automated methods to a) segment rock images with petroglyphs, b) classify the petroglyphs and c) retrieve similar petroglyphs from different archives. In this short paper, we present an approach for the unsolved problem of rock art image segmentation. A first evaluation demonstrates promising results.}, booktitle = {{VAST11}: {The} 12th {International} {Symposium} on {Virtual} {Reality}, {Archaeology} and {Intelligent} {Cultural} {Heritage} - {Short} {Papers}}, publisher = {Eurographics Association}, author = {Seidl, Markus and Breiteneder, C.}, year = {2011}, keywords = {Computer Vision, Extern, Petroglyphs, Segmentation, pattern recognition, pixel classification}, pages = {45--48}, }
