FingArtPrint |
|
FingArtPrint was a European project to
devise a system to make "fingerprints" of works of art so that they
can identified.
A combination of 3D surface
scanning and multispectral imaging combines to make a unique data record of the
object which can be compared to check its authenticity. In Southampton we are
working on the software to compare FingArtPrints and
help the user acquire the data.
See the Workshop page for some interesting views of the
equipment
The detail on the right is
from a small area of the painting on the left. This is the type of area which
may be used to characterise the painting.
