Documentation and Survey of Paintings & Built Heritage

The course will teach students how to document architectural spaces and surfaces in 2D and 3D. Photogrammetry is a 3D documentation technique that allows for better understanding of the surfaces, generating 3D models and scaled orthorectified images of objects and spaces. The course will also introduce photogrammetry as a tool for detecting change in the condition of architectural surfaces over time.

Museum Imaging

This course on museum photography imarts theoretical and practical training on various techniques utilized in imaging museum objects, use of different software for digital correction and enhancement, as well as methodologies for filing images.

Photographic documentation is the most important activity being carried out on museum and art objects. In addition to serving as a permanent record, informing the condition of objects, photographic images are invaluable for display, reports, catalogs, exhibition, conservation interventions, research etc.

Multispectral Imaging

Multi-spectral imaging (MSI) involves imaging in the infrared, visible and ultraviolet spectrums of electromagnetic radiation. The technique is useful in studying elements of painting technique such as the fluorescence properties of pigments, to differentiate between the pigments used and to expose underdrawings. The course introduces MSI, processing of captured images using softwares and their interpretation.
