July 17th, 2017: Day 8

Today we were missing some people, I think three but that's not excessively relevant. People in the group explained their projects more and we decided to start presenting abstracts tomorrow. There also was like a one minute meeting in here for staff and students that interns were not involved in but again, not excessively relevant. Paige and I are still working on our presentation for Dave to take to England. It's coming along and it's a lot better than it was the other day but we still have a long ways to go. We had to redo almost every plot and add in more information to fill in some gaps. A decent amount of time has been dedicated to just making the graph look nicer, editing sizes, alphabetizing the names of countries, placing titles and labels in a the center of the page, checking grammar, etc. This seems like a school project that's not being graded and is actually important. The presentation itself is not bad but it's really obvious that high school students made it. We lack professionalism and it shows in the presentation. It's mainly plots and images of our results, not many explanations are required so it's more of a visual thing than a reading thing. I'll add in some plots of Japan and likely Spanish Luzon to show all three of you what I've been doing all day and also all week.

They look good, right? I'm pretty proud of them.

Outline

Intro Background: We are working to uncover illegible text from the "Jubilees Palimpsest" and find corrections and later additions on the Selden Map of China     Purpose/Technique: We use hyper-spectral imaging (several narrow spectral hundred bands) and multi-spectral imagining (fewer than 50 bands) The images are digitally processed and combined to create images with more characters that are legible than those in the regular RGB image Processing tools include Principle Components Analysis (PCA), Spectral Angle Mapper (SAM), Spectral Profiles   Selden Map Background: The Selden Map dates back to the early 17th Century during the Ming Dynasty The map includes approximately 15 countries and shows a system of navigational routes China, Borneo, Japan, Korea, and Taiwan are five countries with the most significant results Focus/Results: Green corrections in Borneo, Korea, Taiwan, and Rivers of North China Missing texts and names of ports in B...

July 25th, 2017: Day 14

I have nothing to report about the morning meeting. We got new data from Roger and we spent a lot of the time just making image cubes. We also visited the 3D printer to make a part that Peter and Ashley needed while our files were loading. Today has mainly consisted of renaming things and making image cubes and asking David Lewis for help. Thank goodness for David Lewis. We haven't created any new images so unfortunately nothing exciting to post in the blog today..

Abstract Rough Draft

 Document Restoration's main focus is to study old documents and analyze them using several techniques. We are currently working on finding corrections using pigment analysis and imaging enhancements on the Selden Map of the Ming Dynasty dating back to the 1600's. We will also be working with faded and illegible texts. These documents have either been erased, covered up, or have faded. Spectral imaging creates more precise and useful information than regular red, green, blue (RGB) imagery.   For example, hy per-spectral and multi-spectral imaging are used to make items more legible and more visible to the human eye. Multi-spectral imaging uses less than 50 color bands during processing, while hyper-spectral imaging uses several hundred bands during processing. Other analysis techniques used to get more information about a part of a document include Principal Components Analysis (PCA), Spectral Angle Mapper (SAM), and Mahalanobis Distance. These techniques can also be applied ...
