The anonymous owner commissioned a full set of multi-spectral images and made them freely available. The available combined and enhanced images of the undertext, however, leave many areas of poor readability. The present article reports on attempts to improve readability by using sophisticated algorithms (Canonical Variate Analysis). The initial results are encouraging, and additional image capture in the infrared area with wavelengths longer than 940 nm may also be useful.
