Multispectral Imaging of Degraded Parchment
نویسندگان
چکیده
Multispectral imaging was employed to collect data on the degradation of an 18 century parchment by a series of physical and chemical treatments. Each sample was photographed before and after treatment by a monochrome digital camera with 21 narrow-band filters, with the objective of assessing algorithms for recovery of text from the images. A template-matching technique was used to detect the circular holes in each sample and a four-point projective transform to register the 21 images. Colour accuracy was verified by comparison of reconstructed spectra with measurements by spectrophotometer.

Cultural heritage destruction: Documenting parchment degradation via multispectral imaging
This paper describes the methodology and presents preliminary results of a project using multispectral imaging to document the deterioration of parchment. A series of treatments has been applied to degrade samples from a deaccessioned manuscript using both physical and chemical agents. Each sample is photographed before and after the treatment by a multispectral imaging system to record the eff...
متن کاملTechnique based on LED multispectral imaging and multivariate analysis for monitoring the conservation state of the Dead Sea Scrolls.
The aim of this project is the development of a noninvasive technique based on LED multispectral imaging (MSI) for monitoring the conservation state of the Dead Sea Scrolls (DSS) collection. It is well-known that changes in the parchment reflectance drive the transition of the scrolls from legible to illegible. Capitalizing on this fact, we will use spectral imaging to detect changes in the ref...

متن کاملMultispectral Image Restoration of Historical Document Images
Culture is preserved through various documents which is a part of the civilization and heritage. Due to extinction and single document copies available for the future generations about the ancient scripts, the archiving of these documents in the digital process is the solution for these problems. In this paper, the aim is to restore the historical document from tears, stains and poor visibility...
متن کاملApocalypto: Revealing the unreadable
Stored in various public archives and private collections around the world, there are untold numbers of documents whose content is lost to memory and history. They cannot be read by normal means, because the parchment and paper they are written on has degraded; any attempt to handle or process the document for reading will at the very least cause it permanent damage. One of the prime catalysts ...
