RIT scientists develop spectral imaging techniques to help museums with conservation efforts
Munsell Color Science Laboratory researchers create LED-based methods using studio photography equipment
Scientists from Rochester Institute of Technology are turning studio photography technology on its head to help museums and other cultural heritage institutions preserve historically significant artifacts. Faculty and students from RIT’s Munsell Color Science Laboratory have developed new LED-based spectral imaging techniques they say will offer small to medium museums a practical way to capture accurate digital representations of items in their collections.
