Developing a Reflectance Transformation Imaging (RTI) System for
Inscription Documentation in Museum Collections and the Field: Case
studies on ancient Egyptian and Classical material
ALL WELCOME
Ancient documentary scholars face a range of challenges in obtaining
accurate physical documentation to support both decipherment and study
of the processes of writing. In this seminar we present results from a
joint Southampton-Oxford AHRC-funded project designed to address these
issues through the application of Reflectance Transformation Imaging
(RTI) technologies. Through case studies of Egyptian and Classical
material captured using a custom lighting-dome system and
highlight-based RTI, we demonstrate how RTI is able to overcome
challenges of image lighting as well as providing a more reflexive
environment for observation and processes of ‘looking at’ inscribed
surfaces.
The seminar will be followed by wine and refreshments.
