Art book based on realistic “Frankenstein”?












6















I'm looking for a book based on Shelley's "Frankenstein".



The book was written as if it were a nonfiction text about Victor Frankenstein as a real, historical person. In a very dry, factual manner it recounts his life and studies, and then the creation of his monster with excerpts from his diary and notebooks. The book features drawings, purportedly by Frankenstein, of his research executed in a style appropriate to the time, mostly black & white charcoal sketches done in a loose but very detailed style, of equipment, anatomy, dissections and "life studies" of the creature.



I believe it came out in the 80's or early 90's. The format was hardback, and as noted it was heavily illustrated.

I'm going to take a guess that this is The Secret Laboratory by Jeremy Kay. Goodreads describes it as:




The ultimate companion to the world's most enduring and horrific Gothic novel. Realistic diary entries track the doctor's progress with his daring Promethean experiment, as 150 inspired, atmospheric, two-color illustrations draw readers deep into the castle laboratory.




I don't own the book, and I can't find a preview of it online, so this can only be a guess. However the descriptions of it that I've found on the Internet seem close to your description.

Tabula Rosettana

Tabula multilinguis Rosettana in Museo Britannico ostenditur. Tabula Rosettana, [1] etiam titulo OGIS 90 agnita, est stela decreto de rebus sacris in Aegypto anno 196 a.C.n. lato inscripta. Tabula iuxta Rosettam Aegypti, urbem in delta Nili et ad oram maris Mediterranei iacentem, anno 1799 a milite Francico reperta est. Inventio stelae, linguis duabus scripturisque tribus inscriptae, eruditis Instituti Aegypti statim nuntiata est; ibi enim iussu imperatoris Napoleonis eruditi omnium scientiarum (sub aegide Commissionis Scientiarum et Artium) properaverant cum expeditione Francica.

How to label and detect the document text images

Image
1 $begingroup$ This is what I mean as document text image: I want to label the texts in image as separate blocks and my model should detect these labels as classes. NOTE: This is how the end result should be like: The labels like Block 1, Block 2, Block 3,.. should be Logo, Title, Date,.. Others, etc. Work done: First approach : I tried to implement this method via Object Detection, it didn't work. It didn't even detect any text. Second approach : Then I tried it using PixelLink. As this model is build for scene text detection, it detected each and every text in the image. But this method can detect multiple lines of text if the threshold values are increased. But I have no idea how do I add labels to the text blocks. PIXEL_CLS_WEIGHT_all_ones = 'PIXEL_CLS_WEIGHT_all_ones' PIXEL_C...
