July 19th, 2017: Day 10

During the morning meeting today Joe attempted to look up my house of Google Maps but unfortunately, the car did not drive down my street. We did three more abstracts today and they were all pretty good. Paige and I will be the second one done tomorrow so we'll give it a final review later today. Dave isn't here today so we're on our own and doing extra things to add to the presentation. I just finished a slide that has 12 chips of the map all compared to the red pigment of the chrysanthemums in Japan. I'll add that in at the bottom after I finish this. Paige is working on comparing chips of the map to a blue pigment and using the island off Southwest Sumatra as reference. Yesterday she did the same thing using green pigments and put together a map and I'm attempting to do the same but there are far less red pigment on the map so the SAM image is usually white with a small amount of black or grey. I'll add that image in later too. I guess all we have left to do with the presentation is touch-ups, we have two days to finish it before Dave leaves for England and we have some good information on there, or at least I think it's good. We added some more slides and this presentation is looking pretty fire. Happy to say it's almost done!!
I couldn't save my slide as a file so I had to screenshot it and there is not a crop option so I'm sorry for the entire image.

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 ...
