Research Abstract

Our group have being investigated and studied papers of old documents. And we intended to make the machine for measuring, weighing papers of old documents exactly by this study. By analyzing data of size, weight thickness of papers of old documents, we can recognize uses of papers of old documents. Our group made the machine which have measuring functions of weight, thickness and color in 1998. And we added function of measuring by photo date of CCD-camera in 1999. In 2000, we improved some points of this machine. So we made this machine which we can get basic data(measure, weight, thickness, color) of papers old documents by only placing those paters on the plate of this machine.
