Marcos Martinón-Torres,Xiuzhen Li,Yin Xia,Agnese Benzonelli,Andrew Bevan,Shengtao Ma,Jianhua Huang,Liang Wang,Desheng Lan,Jiangwei Liu,Siran Liu,Zhen Zhao,Kun Zhao,Thilo Rehren,Thilo Rehren +14 more
TL;DR: It is shown that the lacquer used to cover warriors and certain parts of weapons is rich in chromium, and it is demonstrated that chromium on the metals is contamination from nearby lacquer after burial, and the chromium anti-rust treatment theory should be abandoned.
Journal ArticleDOI
Computer vision, archaeological classification and China's terracotta warriors
Andrew Bevan,Xiuzhen Li,Marcos Martinón-Torres,Susan Green,Yin Xia,Kun Zhao,Zhen Zhao,Shengtao Ma,Wei Cao,Thilo Rehren,Thilo Rehren +10 more
TL;DR: In this article, a case study using a famous and contentious set of archaeological objects: the terracotta warriors of China's first emperor is presented, where the authors consider the possibility of 3D morphometric analysis and comparative taxonomy.
Journal ArticleDOI
Ink marks, bronze crossbows and their implications for the Qin Terracotta Army
Andrew Bevan,Xiuzhen Li,Zhen Zhao,Jianhua Huang,Stuart Laidlaw,Na Xi,Yin Xia,Shengtao Ma,Marcos Martinón-Torres +8 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors used multispectral photography, digital microscopy and Raman analysis to uncover evidence of further marks on the same two triggers that suggest a similar pattern of matching marks as suggested by the incised evidence, and identified the black substance used to make the marks as a soot-based ink.
Journal ArticleDOI
Research on Automatic Patrol Inspection Technology Scheme for Safe Operation of Super Long and Long Span Highway Tunnel
TL;DR: Wang et al. as mentioned in this paper conducted systematic research on tunnel fire and traffic incident detection technologies, and developed a high-precision monitoring and detection implementation plan for ultra-long and large-span tunnels; Secondly, in terms of tunnel fire detection, video thermal imaging technology is used as the main detection method, combined with dual wavelength flame detectors, to achieve fire open fire monitoring and pure smoke detection, making up for the blind spots of traditional fire detection.
