Reconstructing Historical Manuscripts through MSI: The Potential of Contrast in Assessing Image Quality and Legibility
Digital restoration of historical manuscript images aims to improve readability while preserving the authenticity of cultural heritage documents. However, evaluating quality of restored manuscripts remains challenging, where readability is often subjective and expert annotations are scarce. This study investigates the suitability of contrast-based image quality measures to assess quality and legibility of reconstructed manuscript images from multi-spectral imaging. Two experiments were conducted with publicly-available data sets, facilitating manual quality scores by experts and full-reference
