- This work was instrumental in the digital restoration of the 17th-century Great Parchment Book, arguably the most important document in the history of Northern Ireland. Our system makes readable again fire-damaged parchment by reversing the irregular distortions and contractions that parchment undergoes when close to a flame, combining 3D reconstruction, domain-specific user annotations and differential-geometric optimisation. Specifically developed for the Great Parchment Book, the method is applicable to the vast collections of fire-damaged parchment found in almost any major archive. Project won SUCCEED Aware 2014, and after conclusion of the work, the parchment book became UNESCO Memory of The World.
