The subject<\/p>

Recording what will not survive on its own<\/h2>

This online course introduces students to advanced digital imaging technologies for documenting, preserving and sharing tangible cultural heritage. Topics include aerial and satellite imaging, close-range photogrammetry, 3D scanning and microscopic inspection, with a focus on their use in the conservation, restoration and global accessibility of cultural assets.<\/p>

Each week an international expert presents a technical, theoretical or applied perspective, and case studies from the field and the laboratory show how these tools work in practice. No prior technical background is required. The course is taught in English.<\/p><\/div><\/div>

Scale<\/h3>

From wide-area coverage by air and space to microscopic inspection.<\/p><\/div>

Spectrum<\/h3>

From the visible spectrum to what lies beyond it.<\/p><\/div>

Depth<\/h3>

From surface texture to what lies beneath.<\/p><\/div><\/div>

This framing comes from the abstract of the opening lecture by Moshe Caine.<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
