Croudfunding low-cost multispectral imaging for art and archaeology system

Low-cost Multispectral Imaging for Art and Archaeology system

"Multispectral Imaging for Art and Archaeology" is the first crowd
funding project related to Art Conservation Science.  It was
launched by CHSOS (Cultural Heritage Science Open Source),
chsopensource.org, and it will last 2 month.

To learn about the project and participate:

For the first time, research funding will come from the final users
of this new tool for scientific examination of works of art. Art
conservation professionals of any nationality are invited to
participate and add multispectral imaging to their skills and
services.

We are counting on all the professionals that have been following
the CHSOS website and have regarded it as a free source of valuable
information for their workflow.

Multispectral imaging systems are not invasive and are successfully
used in art examination to map and identify artists' materials
(pigments and binders) and to enhance the reading of old documents.

We propose to spread the use of this technology by developing a
low-cost multispectral imaging system.  If funded this project will
benefit a transnational community of professionals involved in art
conservation.
