SUMMARY:Beyond reading: understanding the book through computer vision
DESCRIPTION:Dr Giles Bergel\nThis talk showcases Oxford’s cutting-edge re
 search at the intersection of book history and computer vision. It aims to
  make images of books as easy to search\, compare and annotate as their te
 xts.\n\nThe University’s Visual Geometry Group has a long track record o
 f working with University researchers and collections\, building tools to 
 help researchers analyse everything from classical art to fifteenth-centur
 y printed books and English broadside ballads\, as well as numerous applic
 ations in the sciences. Several of these tools have now been openly releas
 ed for all to use and adapt.\n\nThe talk reveals how computer vision\, far
  from detracting from understanding books as material objects\, offers a f
 resh pair of eyes on what remains one of humanity’s most sophisticated i
 nventions and richest forms of heritage.\n\nDr Giles Bergel is Digital Hum
 anities Research Officer in the University of Oxford’s Visual Geometry G
 roup. He works on printed books\, printing materials and the history of th
 e book trade.\n\n[caption id="attachment_2174" align="alignnone" width="66
