July 20th, 2017: Day 11

The morning meeting wasn't too bad today, we finished up the abstracts and had a good chat. Paige and I had the most eventful morning we've ever had, we got to go to all four floors and visit all of the labs trying to find people. We also talked to Ryan to let him know how disappointed we were with him but he's fine. We've been putting the final touches on the presentation and it looks pretty good. Peter, Ashley, and Tristan came up for lunch and we analyzed life's deepest mysteries like if Peter's shorts were shorter than mine, which they definitely were, and each others social media pages. It was a pretty good lunch. I've been doing a lot of reading today in the absence of work. Going back and forth between a dry book and a semi-dry presentation is absolutely exhilarating. Paige has been making a lot of small changes to the slides and I'm good with that, they aren't major and she's right to do most of them so I'm glad she sees some of these errors. Most of them are an inconsistent font sizes or slightly different spacing in the titles. I'm excited to switch projects and work with Roger next week. I have a feeling we're still going to be in the reading room still but as long as I get to see Paige everyday then I'm happy:)))))) I like the reading room but sometimes it's nice to leave. Ronny and Gerry helped us out today and told us that the ports we found might not have been ports, the one in Banda could be a defensive wall so that's definitely something to look into.
We don' have a chip for Banda itself but the bottom of the image is where the wall potentially is

    You should be disappointed with Ryan :(
    He needs to step it up

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 ...
