Hear about recent work and research on the application of 3D imaging techniques to Cultural Heritage
The Icon Heritage Science Group present a webinar on 3D Imaging Techniques in Cultural Heritage, online via Zoom.
Digital 3D imaging technologies and their integration into broader approaches present exciting new ways of recording, studying and preserving cultural heritage and historic landscapes. While these techniques are no longer entirely new, they have undergone rapid development in recent years, as have the ways they have been utilised by heritage scientists, conservators and others in the cultural heritage field.
Please join us for a webinar on 30th November at 15.00 for presentations by three current researchers speaking about how they are using 3D techniques to better understand and preserve heritage
Our speakers will include:
Ellie Evans
Measuring Loss of Heritage Assets: Monitoring Cumbrian Heritage Sites
Francien Bossema
Uncovering art: investigating the interior of art objects using Computed tomography (CT)
Pedro Maximo Rocha
Digital Twins applied to building monitoring and management: exploring the benefits of a digital maintenance platform to inform preservation measures at The National Archives
Please join us afterwards for a Q and A session and discussion!
PhD student at the Center for Mathematics and Computer Science Rijksmuseum Amsterdam
Senior Conservation Scientist and manager of the Preventive Conservation team The National Archives, UK
PhD student at the University of Cumbria
Ellie Evans is a PhD student at the University of Cumbria, in Ambleside. Having graduated from Cardiff University (MSc Conservation Practice) Ellie wanted to further explore the conservation of outdoor heritage sites and how to monitor them. This PhD research is investigating if repeated 3D recording of outdoor heritage sites can be used to assess the conservation needs of such sites. The research also looks into visitor numbers and their routes around sites to see what influence visitors to sites have. |
PhD student at the Center for Mathematics and Computer Science Rijksmuseum Amsterdam
Francien Bossema is a 4th year PhD student at the Center for Mathematics and Computer Science and Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam. Currently, she is on a research placement at the British Museum. Francien studied Mathematics and Physics/Astronomy at the Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam and obtained her masters in Mathematics at Leiden University with a thesis on optimal angle selection for X-ray Computed Tomography scans. . She has continued her academic career as PhD student on the topic of Computational Imaging for Cultural Heritage in the NWO/NICAS funded Impact4Art project in a collaboration between CWI and the Rijksmuseum. Her research interests lie in the development of algorithms and methods tailored to the investigation of cultural heritage objects using X-ray CT and additionally the dissemination of the research results to a general public.Senior Conservation Scientist and manager of the Preventive Conservation team The National Archives, UK
Pedro Máximo Rocha is a Senior Conservation Scientist and manager of the Preventive Conservation team at The National Archives (TNA). Pedro studied civil engineering at the University of Porto, Portugal where he obtained his Master’s degree in building with a dissertation in Building Information Modelling (BIM) on a case study of housing plumbing infrastructures. He continued his studies with the MRes in Science and Engineering in Arts Heritage and Archaeology (SEAHA) in Bartlett at UCL, London, where he studied tapestry materials. Pedro joined The National Archives in 2021 as a Senior Conservation Scientist. His research intere
