Summary
This presentation will show the results of applying digital multi-spectral image processing techniques to recover information from ancient documents frozen in time by the eruption of Vesuvius in 79 AD. A collection of over 1800 blackened scrolls were found when antiquity hunters tunneled into a large villa on a hill overlooking Herculaneum and Naples Bay. The villa had belonged to the father-in-law of Julius Caesar and was buried by volcanic mud that hardened like concrete. Ironically, this preserved the scrolls, which resembled sticks of charcoal or lumps of coal. Where conventional photography in both standard, black and white, and IR film has failed, digital multi-spectral imaging with its uniquely designed filter system and a modified digital camera has provided readable images of these 2,000 year old carbonized scrolls.
A news article made the following statement about this work:
The significance of this discovery of papyri is unparalleled in the classical world. It has been called "the only library preserved from the classical world," and some have rightly compared it to the discovery of the Dead Sea Scrolls because of the extraordinary amount of previously unknown information these texts provide about ancient philosophy from the period 300 B.C. to A.D. 79.
About the Speaker
Dr. Douglas M. Chabries (Čabrajec), Dean Emeritus of the College of Engineering and Technology at Brigham Young University, has spent much of his life developing digital signal processing techniques for image processing, audio processing, and speech recognition and noise removal. He has worked with digital image processing techniques with application to the Dead Sea Scrolls, the Petra Scrolls and ancient scrolls in the Vatican. He received his PhD from Brown University and has multiple patents and over 60 published papers.
