Conference Overview
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 (e.g. 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.

This will take you to the University of Oxford Online Store where tickets
can be purchased at a cost of £70.00 per person which includes a full day
of world class speakers along with many opportunities to ask questions and
network with like-minded professionals. Refreshments will be provided
though-out the day including a sit down lunch and wine reception. Delegates

Getting there by car and bicycle: Wolfson College is located at the end
of Linton Road, which is off of the Banbury Road in North Oxford. The
college can be accessed by car but parking is limited to designated areas
and is only available for a maximum of 3 hours. Parking restrictions exist
in the roads adjacent to the college. Driving instructions and public
transport options can be found at google.co.uk/maps.
Public Transport: The 500 Park and Ride bus service operates between the
Water Eaton (Oxford Parkway) site (north of the ring road near Kidlington)
and the City Centre. There is a stopping point on the northbound and
southbound routes, on Banbury Road opposite the end of Linton Road (ask for
the 'St Margaret's road stop'). It is approximately a five-minute walk from
this junction to the College.
