摘要：Ancient Iraq was the home of a major urban civilization which developed during 4000- 3000 BCE. The Sumerians, who lived in Mesopotamia in southern Iraq, invented the cuneiform system of writing, which was an essential element of Sumerians culture. The translation of cuneiform is a highly complicated process. It is only in comparatively recent years that the grammar has been scientifically established, while the lexical problems are still numerous and far from resolved. Furthermore, most of the Sumerians tablets lost only few old images left, some of it saved in a special collection or worldwide museums. In this paper, we present a novel method used to obtain the cuneiform text from old Sumerian clay tablets, proposed method based on automatically select wavelet bases which it is essential and critical issues for wavelet algorithm implementation. Our procedure offers the archaeological and Cuneiformest an easy, fast and active method for extracting the cuneiform sentences. Experimental results of sample images show that the proposed system has superior result.
