數位典藏國家型計畫之技術研發

The Research and Development Effort of the National Digital Archives Program

數位典藏國家型計畫的前身始於1998年的數位博物館專案計畫（1998－2001）。從2002年1月，第一期五年數位典藏國家型科技計畫才開始執行。第二期五年計畫始於2007年。第一期的目標在於：一、將國家重要文物典藏數位化，建立國家數位典藏；二、以數位典藏計畫成果，促進台灣人文與社會、產業與經濟的發展。為了達到上述的目標，整個第一期五年計畫由計畫辦公室統籌，劃分了五個分項計畫，分別是：（一）內容發展；（二）技術研發；（三）應用服務；（四）訓練推廣；（五）維運管理。另外，為了增加內容取得之管道，另外邀請一些擁有豐富數位內容的機構加入機構計畫，這些機構包含故宮博物院、史博館、國史館等。另外，為了妥善規劃典藏內容，計畫辦公室也設立協調、支援及訓練機制。在內容發展方面，設立16個主題小組，在技術規範方面，設立6個工作群，另外設立4個服務小組及進行人員培訓工作。為了彌補計畫本身的不足，計畫辦公室也設立了公開徵選計畫項目，包含內容開發，計畫研發，創意加值，及創意學習。本國家型計畫第一期已於2006年順利完成，目前進入第二個五年計畫（2007－2011），希望運用第一期的建置經驗，為國家級數位典藏品做更進一步之開發及保存。至於技術研發分項的設立，則是為了因應所收錄各式數位多媒體的儲存、傳輸，及擷取等方面的需求。台灣是少數最早切入數位典藏的國家，因此對於數位典藏品的各種儲存及擷取方式無法有太多的既有技術可有，因此設立了技術研發團隊。過去數年，技術研發團隊已研發不少重要成果，其中不乏世界級的研究成果，例如：雞尾酒浮水印、溶解式分鏡技術、以視覺重要性導引的三維網格分格分割技術等等。本文主旨在介紹技術研發分項的一些研發成果及數項目前正在進行的研發項目。

Taiwan government launched the National Digital Archives Program in 2002. The first 5-year term ended at 2006. The second 5-year term started early 2007. The objectives of the first 5-year project were: (1) To preserve national cultural collections and to revitalize cultural heritage and cultural development; (2) To boost Taiwan's economy based on the above digitized cultural heritage. For fulfilling the goals, the project office planned five divisions. They were: content development division, technology R&D division, applications & service division, training and promotion division, and operations management division. The project office also invited some institutes such as National Palace Museum, National History Museum, and National Science Museum, etc., to enrich the sources for content development. The establishment of a technology R&D division is for collecting various requirements of digital multimedia archiving, transmission and capturing. Taiwan was one of countries that conducted digital archives at very early stages. Therefore, we did not have many ready technologies for archiving and capturing. For overcoming the difficulty, we set up a research team in the division. The team has invented many important products for past years, of which some results were categorized into world class achievements, such cocktail watermarking, dissolvent video shot detection and the technology of visual guiding with tree dimensional grid segmentation. In this paper, we shall put our emphasis on the effort of the technology R&D division. Some already developed advanced digital archives-related technologies will be introduced.
