Fundação Getulio Vargas' School of Social Sciences FGV CPDOC and School of Applied Mathematics FGV EMAp invite you to attend Tim Weyrich's lecture: “Computational Imaging For Cultural-Heritage Applications”.
Through the increasing availability of high-quality consumer hardware for advanced imaging tasks, digital imaging and scanning are gradually pervading general practice in cultural heritage preservation and archaeology. In most cases, however, imaging and scanning are predominantly means for documentation and archival, and digital processing too often ends with the creation of a digital image or 3D model. At the example of multiple projects, the speaker will demonstrate how careful analysis of the underlying cultural-heritage questions allows for bespoke solutions that--through joint development of imaging procedures, data analysis and visualisations--directly support conservators and humanities researchers in their work. Tim Weyrich will report on his experiences with fresco reconstruction at the Akrotiri Excavation, Santorini, and the reconstruction of fire-damaged parchment with London Metropolitan Archives, as well as recent and ongoing projects that have not yet been publicly announced.
Tim Weyrich is Professor of Visual Computing in the Virtual Environments and Computer Graphics group at the Department of Computer Science, University College London. Prior to coming to UCL, he was a Postdoctoral Teaching Fellow of Princeton University, working in the Princeton Computer Graphics Group, a post he took after having received his PhD from ETH Zurich, Switzerland, in 2006. He currently is Deputy Director of the UCL Centre for Digital Humanities and member of the Steering Boards of the Eurographics Workshop on Graphics and Cultural Heritage and of the UCL Centre for Digital Humanities, as well as member of the Executive Committee of Eurographics. He serves as Associate Editor for Elseview Computer & Graphics and represents UCL within the Association for Historical and Fine Art Photography (AHFAP) special interest group Libraries & Archives Imaging.
The lecture will be conducted in English.
