Installation

Code is tested under Pytorch > 1.0 + Python 3.6 environment. To install all dependencies :

bash requirement.sh

Download Manuscript

ManuscriptDownloader contains a script that will download the manuscripts' folios for you, and extract the illustrations from them.

Match Illustration

IllustrationMatcher will run our algorithm to match two manuscripts. The results can be visualised with ManuscriptTools

Visualize Matches

Given two manuscripts, and their respective illustrations extracted, ManuscriptTools will generate a set of web pages.
