Image treatment in book:
Numbering system: page number, image credit number: each page restart numbering
image credits set in sans serif font

Photography credits: 
Lithography? Looks like photographic reproductions (not digital scans). Why -> check with PierreH. 
Probably lithographic work done by/at printer Snoeck-Ducaju & Zoon (Ghent)

so: piece -> photography -> lithography -> scan? film (rasterization, enlargement) -> plate -> paper -> scan -> ? :-)
or: direct ot plate?

Alexia: not a digital camera; scanned negatives

Would there be any films left in the bins of Snoeck?

Is process of binding interesting?

TODO

*Look at the paper object with Pierre Huyghebaert and interrogate printing, reproduction
*Take a loop and look at raster


Scanning process

No specific treatment for images; images not treated separately or: are treated/scanned as text

but: 

nn98-02 = img 3 on pg 98?
nn98-01 = img 2

pagenumbering not padded, so:
    
*nnb119-000.jpg
*nnb120-003.jpg
*nnb12-000.jpg
*nnb124-000.jpg
*nnb128-000.jpg
*nnb128-001.jpg
*nnb128-002.jpg
*nnb129-000.jpg
*nnb14-000.jpg
*nnb14-001.jpg
*nnb143-000.jpg
*nnb152-000.jpg
*nnb152-001.jpg
*nnb152-002.jpg
*nnb152-003.jpg
*nnb154-000.jpg

Where  are img on page 12? Are we looking at a different edition? Freya goes  up to check 2nd copy (Delft University Library). Two phyisical copies  are 'identical'
Pagenumbers seem to be more or less correct; shifted by one page now and than

indeed the numbers are all result of the "multicrop" script.. and the references are temporarily lost..
can you give me a link to multicrop script? where does it live?

*http://www.fmwconcepts.com/imagemagick/multicrop/index.php
*multicrop -u 1 -f 20 file.jpg outfile.jpg
*
Check multicrop on this image: http://192.168.1.222/new_babylon/img/nb72-000.jpg
it is also the glueing of the script run different times with different settings cos many times wierd stuff would happen..
and some images are just the full page copied (full spread). so there is like 3 different numberings.. very neat. but i though to rename is just one command but the "history" of the different scripts used was fun to keep for now.

*multicrop -u 1 -f 10 file.jpg outfile.jpg , multicrop -u 3 -f 20 file.jpg outfile.jpg 

the second one for example doesnt auto-rotate the images..

its really a mess indeed for now... and metadata would be something to look into..
we want to make the pdf searcheable at some point (tesseract) so that might make the process easier

TODO

*Look at the pdf and see what we can discover about the actual scanning (scanner/device)
*Look for multicrop artefacts

File analysis

Interesting to 'read back' the process in these actual files.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kurtosis
"any measure of the 'peakedness' of the probability distribution of a real-valued random variable. In a similar way to the concept of skewness, kurtosis is a descriptor of the shape of a probability distribution"

http://jeff560.tripod.com/kurtosis.gif
wow.

Maria: There's a randomnes with the images.
No need to reconstruct the book (ie order-relation between text and images)

Constant: starting a painting from the edges. to know about the container

Ideas

*Reconstructing relations between physical diversity,  printed reproduction, scans
*Scale, tilt, orientation
*2D-3D-2D-3D
*resurrect images from being treated as text
*histogram, historiography, hysteria
*http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steganography
*reducing of range: size, texture, dimension = reviving range
*make one image of all of them; is it actually only one images
*look at original scans (pre-multi-crop)
*overlap imges for example maps, graphs, photographs etc. 
*create gifs 
*extract a color table from an image
