Project Title

A Pipeline for Multispectral Imaging of Documentary Material.

Background & Summary of Project

Working with conservators and archivists from the British Library and London Metropolitan Archives, the aim of this PhD is to produce a pipeline for multispectral imaging of documentary material in the heritage sector. This will identify the optimum approaches to acquiring multispectral imaging data and enable archivists, conservators and scholars to produce multispectral images of historical manuscripts without the need of a specialist imaging scientist. Due to my background in mathematics, I am specifically focusing on developing and refining the image processing methods applied to the multispectral images.
