Sorting and classifying the collected vocabularies

Getting an operational LSM database to facilitate the editing task

Particulary harder than expected, so the timing was lenghtened

Shooting LSM

Getting the first pictures for the LSM book

First part is completed (2607 pictures)

First editing work for the tooken pictures (control, photocorrection, colourlevel editing, arrowheads, etc)

Note:

Due to the extremely restricted free time for the LSM monitors (professional interpreters, qualified deaf), we had to make the shooting task in 3 weeks fulltime work (during the holiday) and the words classification by a remote work system, so that we had to change the previous timing.
