2/2 ARCHiOx. Exploring the potential of photometric stereo 3D capture

ARCHiVe Online Academy 2023
Course: ARCHiOx. Exploring the potential of photometric stereo 3D capture through recordings made at the Bodleian Libraries, University of Oxford
Curated by John Barrett (ARCHiOx Technical Lead)
Session 2: 7 giugno/June 2023
In questa sessione John Barrett introduce un gruppo di esperti che spiegano come le registrazioni 3D e altre innovazioni tecnologiche hanno aiutato la loro ricerca.
Jo Story (docente di Storia dell’Alto Medioevo, University of Leicester) e Jessica Hodgkinson (PhD Candidate, University of Leicester) portano casi studio tratti dalle loro ricerche sui manoscritti anglosassoni e sulla cultura libraria medievale; Alessandro Bianchi (direttore della Bodleian Japanese Library e curatore della collezione di libri rari e manoscritti giapponesi) analizza come la registrazione 3D possa essere la chiave per capire come sono state realizzate le stampe giapponesi e come i rendering 3D possano essere utilizzati per valutarne lo stato.
La sessione inizia con una descrizione di come è stato creato e strutturato ARCHiOx a cura di Elaine Anstee (Bodleian Libraries Head of Imaging).

In this session John Barrett introduces a panel of experts who explain how 3D recording and other technological innovations have assisted with their research.
Professor of Early Medieval History, Jo Story and PhD candidate Jessica Hodgkinson from the University of Leicester, discuss how photometric stereo recordings and other technologies have aided their research into Anglo-Saxon manuscripts and medieval book culture.
Manager of the Bodleian Japanese Library, and curator of the Bodleian collection of Japanese rare books and manuscripts, Alessandro Bianchi explores how 3D recording may hold the key to understanding how Japanese prints were made, and how 3D renders can be used for assessing their condition.
The session begins with a description of how ARCHiOx was established and structured, by the Bodleian Libraries Head of Imaging, Elaine Anstee.
