Description

You are warmly invited to attend this free public lecture hosted by the Topoi and Staatliche Museen zu Berlin – Stiftung Preußischer Kulturbesitz! This event is open to anyone interested in RTI technology and its practical application.

This evening event will be comprised of three parts, a longer lecture and two short talks:


19:00

Computational Photography for Cultural Heritage Documentation
Mark Mudge and Carla Schroer, Cultural Heritage Imaging (CHI)
19:40
Visualising Early Egyptian and Mesopotamian Writing and Art with the Aid of Highlight RTI
Kathryn E. Piquette, Freie Universität Berlin
20:00
Highlight RTI and the Documentation of Ancient Graffiti at Musawwarat es Sufra (Sudan)
Cornelia Kleinitz, Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin

The lecture delivered by Mark Mudge and Carla Schroer will present recent work in computational photography as it relates to cultural heritage. Reflectance Transformation Imaging, Algorithmic Rendering, Multi-spectral imaging, and Photogrammetry examples will be shown.

Kathryn Piquette will present a case study focusing on the use of RTI as documentation for small finds during archaeological excavation. She will also briefly detail how the use of RTI data is informing her research on early Egyptian and Near Eastern writing and art objects in museum collections, and the new insights that can be gleaned by exploiting this powerful imaging technology.

Cornelia Kleinitz will present a case study on the use of RTI for the documentation of ancient graffiti at Musawwarat es Sufra in Sudan. She will focus on the advantages and disadvantages of applying Highlight RTI to an extensive body of intricate material in difficult field conditions. She will also compare these results with those of other, previously applied imaging techniques, such as photography, direct tracing and structured light scanning.

The lecture and talks will be followed by a wine reception. RTI equipment and images will be on display. Researchers, students, and anyone interested in learning more about RTI are warmly invited to examine the equipment and discuss ideas with the speakers.

RTI is of particular interest to anyone working with cultural heritage objects, such as archaeologists, historians, librarians, museums curators, conservators and photographers.
