article : Scanning the Celts – Evaluation of 2D and 3D techniques in protohistoric archeology

Charlotte Hochart, Elsa Lamberta, Anne Maigret, Clotilde Boust “Scanning the Celts: evaluation of 2D and 3D techniques in protohistoric archaeology (Conference Presentation).” Optics for Arts, Architecture, and Archaeology VII. Vol. 11058. International Society for Optics and Photonics, 2019.

Préprint :  SPIE_Hochart_v6

Summary : The Agris Helmet is a masterpiece of the Celtic art made in the middle of the 4th century A.D. It has been found near Agris, France, in 1981 during an archeological dig under the supervision of José Gomez-de-Soto. This composite object is made of an iron cap covered with bands of bronze. The bronze is itself covered with pure gold leaf, with embedded coral decorations attached using silver rivets. The Helmet was discovered with one cheek guard which had similar materials and designs. Considering this information, the cap would have been used for display rather than worn in battle. The helmet, discovered in pieces, was restored in Mainz during the 1980th and is now held by the Musée d’Angoulême in Angoulême (France). The present project led jointly by the AOROC department of the ENS and the C2RMF and supported by PSL, was an opportunity to make complementary work on the Helmet to document it thoroughly. Our aim was threefold. Firstly, we wanted to document the Helmet in such a way that future studies would be doable even without physical access to the original piece. Then, we were willing to search the best 3D technique and practice for this complex piece. The level of details and the brilliant aspect of the surface were the perfect challenges for our 3D systems. In addition to these technics, we wanted to enhance the knowledge about the object (material and technical identification) and provide new data for archaeology and art history. We began the study with a complete photographic coverage of the Helmet thus highlighting every single visible detail on its surface. In order to go further concerning the structure of the object itself, we chose to use X-Ray technology. This method allowed us to see behind the surface and understood the organization and construction of the Helmet. Furthermore, multiple techniques of photogrammetric imaging and 3D digitalization were used to obtain the best set of data. Leadingly, we performed a photogrammetric coverage under artificial lights followed by another under natural light. Thereafter, we used two 3D scanners technologies, one based on structured light and the second based on laser technology. The resulting 3D models were compared in precision and acquisition convenience (simplicity of devices and acquisition time). While the photogrammetric models were perfect to easily visualize the texture and color of the object, its degree of precision left something to be desired. On the contrary, the 3D models obtained by scanning technologies were effective for the purpose of getting complete metric and volumetric values. For the study of the Helmet, the high-resolution models provided information about tools marks and other traces of the production techniques. Moreover, mesh comparing provided new data for the matching of supposedly identical items on the surface. The results of those studies were particularly instructive for the historians of the Celtic period and gave new possibilities to the researches for the work on this precious object.

Pigment database Veneria reale

New database available from Centro Conservazione e Restauro dei Beni Culturali La Venaria Reale !

https://www.centrorestaurovenaria.it/en/laboratories/pigments-database

“Integrating the skills it possesses, the Centro has been able to produce a set of around 1200 painting samples with corresponding imaging and point analysis databases. The materials used – totalling 173 between pigments and dyes, 4 for the preparatory drawings, 4 binders and 2 types of oil – were selected to reproduce the principal artistic techniques used from antiquity to contemporary art, presenting combinations with the products most widely used in restoration.
The database is available online as a comparative and reference tool for the study of the royal art works.”

3D Heritage Online Presenter : 3DHOP

3DHop is an interesting project from  Visual Computing Lab of ISTI-CNR Italy :

“3DHOP (3D Heritage Online Presenter) is an open-source framework for the creation of interactive Web presentations of high-resolution 3D models, oriented to the Cultural Heritage field. 3DHOP target audience ranges from the museum curators with some IT experience to the experienced Web designers who want to embed 3D contents in their creations, from students in the CH field to small companies developing web applications for museum and CH institutions.”

http://vcg.isti.cnr.it/3dhop/

The contact page reveals several  linked projects:

“3DHOP has been designed on the base of the experience done in the EC IP project 3DCOFORM: Tools and Expertise for 3D Collection Formation. De facto, 3DHOP can be considered the second version of the Community Presenter tool, which was designed and implemented as part of the 3DCOFORM project.

The 3DHOP technology has been developed in the framework of the EC NoE project V-MUST.NET – Virtual Museum Transnational Network.

3DHOP is currently used and, at the same time, developed and debugged in some other research projects:

CHANGE EU project

CHANGE project is an ITN founded by Europe H2020

Several PhD call are available here : http://change-itn.eu/vacancies/

The combination of new technologies and the integration of conventional investigation tools currently used by CH experts (archaeologists, architects, curators, conservation scientists, conservators, art historians) and associated specialists (archaeometers, geomorphologists, etc.) allows us to anticipate the emergence of a new generation of multi-skilled experts specialized in the study and monitoring of changes on CH objects. CHANGE will respond to this urgent need. The main scientific objective of CHANGE is to develop a methodology to assess and monitor any change to which CH artifacts are faced during their exposure to the atmosphere and their conservation treatments. It requires a multi scale and multi modal approach in both acquisition and processing of data collected and harmonization and unification of processing protocols.

These objectives will be reached through the research projects carried out by each Early Stage Researchers (ESR), collaborative work between the ESRs and between them and the beneficiaries/partners. ESRs with different scientific backgrounds relevant to CHANGE will be selected and will be trained to bridge their existing knowledge and the one to gain all along the research programme. In a nutshell, the most innovative aspect of CHANGE is to study change issues on CH artifacts by integrating the expertise of CH experts to a multi modal approach applicable at a variety of scales.

Specific Objectives

  • Development of multi-scale acquisition systems for geometric change capture (3D) of CH assets.
  • Development of multimodal acquisition systems for appearance change capture of CH assets.
  • Integration of multimodal and multiscale acquisition systems for change capture (3D and appearance) of CH assets.
  • Development of dedicated methods for change visualisation of CH assets from multiscale and multimodal data.
  • Development of computational methods for change detection, quantification and characterization of CH assets from multimodal and multiscale data.
  • Design of repeatable and contextualised strategies of digitization.
  • Development of acquisition strategies for change monitoring of CH assets.
  • Application to the change monitoring during alteration processes of CH assets.
  • Application to the change monitoring during conservation interventions of CH assets.
  • Interpretation and evaluation of collected data on CH assets.
  • Archiving of CH data after upgrading them with semantic metadata useful for preservation activities.

roughness measures with Hirox microscope

Abstract
Surfaces of materials from cultural heritage are exceptionally varied as patina, varnish, wear or scratches are added intentionally or with time to the base material, whether it is wood, marble, stucco, or brass. Measuring their texture provides a lot of information to curators but it constitutes a challenging task for the engineer. The present study focuses on the question of texture acquisition by means of two optical micro-topographic instruments. As those
instruments deeply differ in their working principle, it is necessary to check if results are comparable in terms of roughness. Moreover, in order to define the space of materials they are able to record, the study highlighted how the global appearance of an object interferes
with the measurement of its surface relief, because of the design of the utilized instruments.

Abstract
2.5D printing is a technology which creates surface relief by
superimposing successive layers of inks. The question of the
characterization of heights obtained with this technique brings us
to consider new metrics and mathematical ways to represent the
influence of diverse printing parameters on the obtained relief,
possibly used to compensate the defaults of the system.
Our method takes over the classical Modulation Transfer
Function (MTF) approach and adapts it to a vertical modulation
instead of considering the (x, y) plane, introducing then a Height
Modulation Transfer Function (HMTF). Characterization charts
are composed of lines patterns printed at different heights,
frequencies and droplet levels. Prints are scanned with a
chromatic confocal sensor and resulting topographies are
analyzed to extract the HMTF. By analogy with traditional MTF
methods, results – consisting of the measurement of the deviation
between the digital input and the analog output – allow to evaluate
the quality of our printer and to compensate it by setting up a
retro-action loop.
The method, here presented in the case of the 2.5D printing
prototype, can be extended to regular 3D printing techniques.

DATABASE : Pigments under UV and IR radiations

Scientific photography for cultural heritage : pigment image database under UV and IR radiations

Several pigments/colorants were registred using Hasselblad photography imaging under several radiations, from UV (365 nm) to IR (780-1000 nm). We obtained several images :

  • VIS : normal image, in visible domain under visible light (380-780 nm;
  • REF_UV_UV : reflection in UV domain under UV radiations (360-400);
  • UVFC : image treatment of REF_UV_UV with VIS to obtain false color lisible image
  • FLUO_UV_VIS : fluorescence of material under UV (pic 365 nm) seen in visible domain;
  • REF_NIR_NIR : infrared reflection under near infrared light (780-1000 nm);
  • IRFC : image treatment of REF_NIR_NIR with VIS to obtain false color lisible image
  • FLUO_VIS_IR : fluorescence under visible light (pic 690 nm)  in near infrared domain (780-1000 nm);

Those images are used to find out some possible pigments and colorants, because some of them have  specific spectral responses in IR or UV, or with fluorescence.

We provide FORS (400 nm-1000nm) reflection spectra made with Ruby Still non contact spectrometer for information.

Be aware that color material identification is usually completed with microscopic observations and FluoX analysis but could need much more complex investigations.

We share our image database hoping it could help the community of cultural heritage. In order to use them, please understand that the colors are indicatives as your artwork materials, binding and aging could differ.

Fiber Optics Reflectance Spectra (FORS) of Pictorial Materials in the 270-1700 nm range

Le laboratoire  de restauration de l’Opificio delle Pietre Dure et le laboratoire de spectroscopie appliquée de l’institut de physique appliquée “Nello Carrara” ont mis en ligne les spectres de réflectance UV/VIS/IR des principaux pigments de peinture. Il faut s’inscrire et les courbes ne sont pas téléchargeables mais c’est une vraie mine d’informations pour la reconnaissance des matériaux et issu d’un travail collectif partagé.

This database presents a collection of reflectance spectra in the 270-820 nm, 350-1000 nm, and 980-1700 nm ranges acquired on several paint layer structures that were built with materials selected from those most commonly used both in the past and in the present day. The pictorial materials were painted out onto small wood panels prepared with a traditional ground of gypsum and animal glue. They were applied as pure pigment/dye or as a mixture of different pigments/dyes with different binding media. Some of these pictorial materials were also applied as transparent glazes over opaque paint layers or metal leaf.

This spectra collection focuses on providing information that permits recognition of the spectral features of several pictorial materials. The spectra may be enlarged by directly clicking on the displayed graph. To date the spectroscopic data cannot be downloaded via the spectra pages.

This database is part of the continuing collaboration between the Restoration Laboratory of the Opificio delle Pietre Dure and the Applied Spectroscopy Laboratory of the Institute of Applied Physics “Nello Carrara” of the Italian National Research Council.
