Das Projekt "Veridical Imaging of Transmissive and Relective Artefacts - VITRA" wird/wurde gefördert durch: Kommission der Europäischen Gemeinschaften Brüssel. Es wird/wurde ausgeführt durch: Bayerisches Landesamt für Denkmalpflege.This collaroative RTD project will develop a practical method for the acquisition, storage and visualisation of high quality images of architectural details in historic buildings. Potential subjects include stained glass windows, frescos, mosaics and decorative mouldings. The VITRA project will in particular construct apparatus, consisting of a digital camera and suitable illumniation mounted on a robotic platform, for the direct digital capture 'in situ' of colorimetrically accurate images of both reflective and transmissive surfaces. The project will also facilitate the creation of digital archives of such images and novel means of visualising them in their invironment for the purposes of conservation, historical research, education and entertainment.
