MPS - the Medieval Paleographic Scale

This is a project granted by the Dutch Organisation for Scientific Research NWO in 2012. Its goal is to deliver a web-based system for dating medieval charters by uploading them to a server which uses image processing and pattern recognition, together with a reference data set, a paleographic scale, to produce an estimate of the when, where (and possibly who) of the manuscript sample.
