Abstract
A second faint image of the face of the Turin Shroud has been discovered in 2004 and many scientists in the world confirmed the discovery, but a recent paper has questioned in a debatable way its presence. With a perhaps too high degree of certainty it explained those patterns with pareidolia and Gestalt effects of the human perception, supporting its conclusion on the basis of illusory images perhaps built on purposes and on numerical results also derived from spatial cross-correlation used in a not proper way. This paper both discusses these results showing why the image processing used in that paper seems not proper to sustain its thesis and presents additional image processing for pattern recognition.Pubblicazioni consigliate
