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.
