SGHA Research ~ Photograph analysis ~ Big Nose Kate's Saloon Photo

A digital image can be treated as a data set to extract information. This is the information that we extracted from a digital photograph taken during a investigation at the Jerome Mining Museum.

A digital image can be treated as a data set to extract information. Each pixel's intensity value is a measure of how much energy was used to generate it within the band of spectrum used to produce the image. The sum of the pixel intensities is a measure of the total energy used to create the whole image.

This is an analysis of a randomly shot photograph taken in the basement of Big Nose Kate's Saloon.

Spectral analysis shows that the dark mass is diffuse around its edges and appears to be composed of three different light wavelengths. The band pass images confirm that the mass is not generated by a shadow and is independent from is background.
