Reflectance Transformation Imaging and Photogrammetry: Computational Photography Techniques for Cultural, Historic, and Artistic Heritage

 

Through the generous support of The Association of Australian Decorative and Fine Arts Societies (ADFAS) ‘Patricia Robertson Fund’, the Gordon Darling Foundation and the University of Melbourne’s Grimwade Centre for the Conservation of Cultural Material, AICCM is very pleased announce a public lecture on computational photography techniques for cultural heritage, to be delivered by Carla Schroer and Mark Mudge, founding members of Cultural Heritage Imaging. This talk will present advances in robust, low-cost imaging tools from the emerging science, Computational Photography (CP). Embodying both reflectance transformation imaging (RTI) and photogrammetry, CP describes the purpose-driven, selective extraction of information from sequences of digital photographs. Both methods offer exciting new documentation options for the cultural heritage profession; this presentation aims to highlight the use of these tools in a range of contexts including fine art conservation, research of museum and library collections, and documentation of rock art.

Date: Thursday, June 30th 6-7:30pm (Doors open at 6 for a 6:30pm start)

Venue: Old Arts, Lecture Theatre C The University of Melbourne Free Admission, no booking necessary
