Current digitalization projects of ancient artifacts in the field of cultural heritage produce large amounts of data that can not be managed and analyzed in a reasonable amount of time by means of conventional philological methods. Therefore, this paper presents a novel approach to performing a fast and interactive 3D script feature extraction, analysis and visualization for high resolution 3D scanned cuneiform tablets making intense use of parallel computing and GPGPU. By integrating philological expertise a straightforward parametrization with immediate display of results, comprehensive meta data visualization and shareability of analysis results is achieved.
