All,
One of our affiliated research students here at the UCL Centre for Digital Humanities, shared with the Department of Medical Physics and Bioengineering, needs some images to test his processing methods. I copy his request below. If you have any such material it would be greatly appreciated. Please contact me off-list and I’ll put you in touch: s.mahony@ucl.ac.uk Regards
Simon
“My project involves applying image processing methods to multi-spectral images in order to enhance or reveal difficult-to-read text.
The type of images that I need are the full-spectrum of unmodified, multi-spectral images of manuscripts or documents. The methods that I use will try to enhance text from this manuscripts. Ideally the images should be from palimpsestic text, where at least one of the text is very difficult to see or image with visible light captures.”
