The study of Maya hieroglyphic writing unlocks the rich history of cultural and societal knowledge embedded within this ancient civilization's visual narrative. Artificial Intelligence (AI) offers a novel lens through which we can translate these inscriptions, with the potential to allow non-specialists access to reading these texts and to aid in the decipherment of those hieroglyphs which continue to elude comprehensive interpretation. Toward this, we leverage a foundational model to segment Maya hieroglyphs from an open-source digital library dedicated to Maya artifacts. Despite the initial promise of publicly available foundational segmentation models, their effectiveness in accurately segmenting Maya hieroglyphs was initially limited. Addressing this challenge, our study involved the meticulous curation of image and label pairs with the assistance of experts in Maya art and history, enabling the fine-tuning of these foundational models. This process significantly enhanced model performance, illustrating the potential of fine-tuning approaches and the value of our expanding dataset. We plan to open-source this dataset for encouraging future research, and eventually to help make the hieroglyphic texts legible to a broader community, particularly for Maya heritage community members.

玛雅象形文字的研究通过人工智能提供了一种新的透视方式，可以翻译这些铭文，有潜力让非专家阅读这些文本，并帮助解密那些仍无法全面解释的象形文字。我们利用基础模型从一个专注于玛雅文物的开源数字图书馆中分割玛雅象形文字，通过专家在玛雅艺术和历史方面的协助，精心策划了图像和标签配对，使这些基础模型的性能得到显著提高，展示了精调方法的潜力和我们不断扩大的数据集的价值。我们计划开源这一数据集，鼓励未来的研究，并最终帮助更广泛的社区阅读玛雅象形文字，特别是玛雅遗产社区的成员。
