Alejandro Giacometti, Lindsay MacDonald (UCL) and Alberto Campagnolo
(University of the Arts) "Cultural Heritage Destruction: Documenting
Parchment Degradation via Multispectral Imaging".
All welcome
In this seminar we describe the methodology and present preliminary
results of a project using multispectral imaging to document the
deterioration of parchment. A series of treatments has been applied
to degrade samples from a deaccessioned manuscript using both
physical and chemical agents. Each sample has been photographed
before and after the treatment by a multispectral imaging system to
record the effect of the treatments on both the writing and the
parchment. We present the initial imaging of the samples, details on
their treatment agents and how they affect the writing and
parchment, the final imaging, and some image processing analysis.
The seminar will be followed by wine and refreshments.
