First-year students develop imaging system to study historical artifacts
Interdisciplinary team created system for Innovative Freshman Experience class
A multidisciplinary team of first-year Rochester Institute of Technology students has been steadily working toward a singular goal since the fall: to develop an imaging system that can reveal information hidden in historical documents.
The students are developing the multispectral imaging system for their Innovative Freshmen Experience project-based course. Nineteen students enrolled in the course from the imaging science, motion picture science, and photographic sciences programs combined their talents and applied their skills to solve the problem presented to them by their instructors in the fall.
