SEAHA special seminar in multispectral and hyperspectral imaging
30 June 2016 9.30am - 7.00pm
Wolfson College, Oxford

Multispectral/hyperspectral imaging is the process in which image data is captured at specific frequencies across the ultra violet (VIS) and near-infrared (NIR) spectroscopy. The imaging captures all the spatial and spectral data that can be seen within the field of view of the imaging device. This new set of virtual eyes gives users a more complete view of any type of reflecting material than the human eye alone. It can be used to reveal information about both the identity of objects (eg pigments, lichen, binder) and hidden text or pictorial information in built heritage as well as objects in a museum, a library, or a university. It also provides information about the chemical composition and concentration, effectively chemical imaging.

The EPSRC Centre for Doctoral Training in Science and Engineering in Arts, Heritage and Archaeology (SEAHA) are proud to sponsor this one day symposium that brings together some of the world's most experienced practitioners in the emerging technique of multispectral and hyperspectral imaging, alongside the cutting edge research that is being carried out by their students and partners.

This impressive line-up of world class speakers will be sharing their experience and recent findings and showcasing the power of these techniques with dramatic discoveries and deep technical knowledge. This is an event not to be missed if you are an Imaging Scientist and Heritage professional keen to learn and share more about this exciting area of research.

The event will include talks from a wide range of specialists in this field providing delegates the opportunity to ask any questions they may have and to learn how these techniques are being used to discover images that have never been seen before.

Delegates are warmly invited to submit a poster and those wishing to do so should contact David Howell via [log in to unmask]<mailto:[log in to unmask]>.
