Digital image analysis

  • Comparatiye digital analysis was performed on the five moon drawings from the New York copy of the Sidereus Nuncius and the copperplate etchings printed in the Graz and Florence copies. The sequences of figures for the drawings on pages 8r, 9v and lOv demonstrate the process of digitally enhancing the black material on the drawings, isolating that material and then overlaying it on the etchings. Using an image editing program (Image Pro® Plus by Media Cybernetics) the black material on the drawings and the letterpress-printed text were isolated and segmented from the brown drawing media. As shown in Figs. 4, 6 and 8, the isolation was possible and the black material clearly overlaps the demarcation line in the drawings. To compare the drawn and printed images of each moon, the images were laid on top of each other with Adobe Photoshop® (Adobe Systems). In these images, the printed text was used for alignment and scale.

To compare the drawn and printed images of each moon, the images were laid on top of each other with Adobe Photoshop® (Adobe Systems). In these images, the printed text was used for alignment and scale. By decreasing the opacity of the image on top, the lines of each image were compared. This technique revealed an almost one-to-one correlation between the demarcation line in the drawing (as indicated by the black material) and that on the etching. In each case, the similarities and concurrences by far outnumbered the minor deviations in line. One precondition of this work was that all the photographs be at the same angle, plane-parallel, so that the drawings could be compared with the etchings. A slight aberration in the plane could distort the geometry of the illustrations. Rectification of the image plane was carried out by means of the program metigo® MAP 2.2 (Fokus GmbH Leipzig). To validate the method, photographs from the same detail of the New York copy taken with different photographic cameras and different Parameters were rectified with metigo® MAP and compared in Adobe Photoshop®. The overlay of these photographs shows a good correlation in the layout of the lettering and moon figures with only small aberrations. The distribution of the black material on the drawings can be followed as clearly in the rectified photographs as in the unrectified photographs, the information is the same.zeige mehrzeige weniger
