CHARLIE
As you can see, the recovered
images are highly degraded, a lot
of digital information has been
lost. But we're applying a
technique called ëScaled Gradient
Projection.' Think of it like a
partially filled in crossword
puzzle --
AUDIENCE VISION
A page of torn newspaper with a partially filled in crossword
puzzle flies across the screen. No clues are visible, only
the grid and a few letters.
CHARLIE (cont'd)
Even if you don't have the clues,
there are some things you can
surmise, knowing what you do about
spelling and phrases.
CLOSE-UP on the partially filled in puzzle.
CHARLIE (cont'd)
Certain vowels will go together,
certain consonants will not. You
can assume, for example, Z and R
will not be next to each other --
at least not in English.
Letters that make sense next to each other are tried.
CHARLIE (cont'd)
So we eliminate unlikely
possibilities and make educated
conjectures about what would be in
adjacent squares.
The letters fill in to make the phrase "Kilroy Was Here."
