Digital cultural heritage: a method to clarify the characteristics of family photographs
TOGIYA Norio, KAWASHIMA Takanori - No.21, p.3-21. 2014.

RESUME: The family photograph has become an area of focus in academic research. As such, the frequency and purposes for which the daily activities of a family are photographed differ for each generation. Photographic material should be verified as rigid evidence to clarify family conditions and relationships for two reasons: it is difficult to identify figures, and the number of remaining photographs differs for each generation. In this research, we proposed a method by which to quantify and visualize the relationship between family members, and verified validity of material as positive evidence thereof. Using this method, we suggested a method to clarify relationships between community members.
