f116v is a decryption attempt?

[JoeyB]

I was reading Nick Pelling's blog (You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view.) and came across his 2022 suggestion of raking IR on f116v, and I wondered whether the AI could get anywhere with the 2014 multispectral set (Dr. Davis wrote up here: You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view., and which is freely downloadable) to see if pen furrows would come out.

   

So the method (get the AI to take multiple images of the same surface and subtract stuff to produce the topographic image, like a shading gradient) works... it doesnt simulate raking (which I thought it might, anyway I thought this was interesting to see how far AI stuff has come with image processing) but there's just no furrow there to find at this lighting. Shallower rake on You are not allowed to view links.

TLDR: AI combines and processes real big image files of You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view. fast, and into smaller cool composite image file and also does math stuff about it. Consumes much researcher time noodling about it, creates post fodder.
