Multispectral Imaging for Art Conservation, Documentation and Examination

Training Seminar
Educational goals. Be able to shot and read Multispectral images. Be able to use them in Research and every day Conservation work. This course will explore and practice multispectral imaging methods that are used by cultural heritage scientists and conservators for scientific and forensic Documentation and Examination of art objects. We will see how specific ranges of the electromagnetic spectrum are used to detect features such as underdrawing (infrared), retouches (infrared false color) and varnishes (ultraviolet). Program: 1st day: Imaging with Visible: Color Management workflow and accuracy, Raking light, Macrophotography, Imaging with UV: UV Fluorescence, UV Reflected, UV False Color. 2nd day: Imaging with IR: Infrared, Infrared False color, Infrared Fluorescence, Infrared Transmitted. 3rd day: Imaging with IRR. Infrared Reflectography, InGaAs camera.
