Spectral Imaging for Conservation
August 24, 2106 - August 26, 2016 |
Join us in Santa Fe to learn how spectral imaging can provide hidden details about objects.
NCPTT, the Friends of NCPTT, the Museums of New Mexico – Conservation ( a unit of Museum Resources Division) and the Foundation of the American Institute for Conservation of Historic and Artistic Works are hosting a three-day workshop on the use of spectral imaging in conservation.
Students will be introduced to spectral image capture and processing to assess and discover a depth of unknown information hidden within the original source material. Participants will learn a range of spectral analytical techniques, have access to two image processing software programs and learn how to process spectral imaging datasets. Image processing examples will include how to retrieve non-visible data from objects such as palimpsests, watermarks, spectral mapping to separate colorants, spectral curve techniques for characterization of colorants, and tracking changes due to treatments and time.
