For people who'd prefer a slightly less cryptic description: the video is about two brothers, both professional mathematicians, who helped the Metropolitan Museum of Art construct a high-resolution digital image of a medieval tapestry. The tapestry had been photographed in thirty or so overlapping chunks, but the chunks didn't fit together into a consistent image. With the help of a graduate student, the brothers tracked down the source of the mysterious inconsistencies, and then figured out how to correct them. A nifty application of math---well worth watching! | |
