Cultural Heritage Imaging 4-Day Training:
Reflectance Transformation Imaging:
Generating Digital Representations of Cultural Heritage Objects
This class is a combination of lecture, demonstration, and hands-on work. Hands-on work is done in small teams of three or four people. In addition to learning single view highlight Reflectance Transformation Imaging (RTI), new research in RTI, such as multi view, is discussed. A lecture on related computational photography
techniques such as color accuracy and photogrammetry is included.
After attending this class, you will know how to setup, capture, process, view, and disseminate RTIs on the internet. Each student will receive copies of the processing and viewing software, class materials, and checklists used in the class.

Roman bronze coin with heavy wear, one of
three known examples
RTI can make it possible to disclose 3D information that cannot be seen through physical examination. Note in the image on the right, the enhanced "comet's tail" that proves this is a coin commemorating the divination of Julius Caesar, following his assassination in March of 44 BCE.
This coin was issued by Octavian, the adopted son of Julius Caeser, who became the first roman emperor Augustus. The comet, known as the Sidus Iulium or Julian Star, is depicted between Julius on the left and Octavian on the right. This comet appeared in July 44 BCE during the funerary games held to honor Julius and was said to have been a sign of his divinity.
