Description
In the fields of documentation and conservation of cultural heritage assets, there is a constant need for higher quality records and better
analytical tools for extracting information about the condition of artefacts. Digital photography and digital image processing provide
these capabilities, and recent technological advances in both fields promise new levels of performance for the capture and understanding
of colour images. This inter-disciplinary book covers the imaging of decorated surfaces in historical buildings and the digitisation
of documents, paintings and objects in museums and galleries, and shows how user requirements can be met by application of powerful digital
imaging techniques. Numerous case studies illustrate the methods.
Audience
Museum and gallery professionals, conservators, people involved with the care of heritage buildings, managers and documentors of multimedia
content projects.
Academics and students in Fine Arts, Museum Studies and Imaging Science
