Conference Overview

Multispectral/hyperspectral imaging is the process in which image
data is captured at specific frequencies across the ultra violet
(VIS) and near-infrared (NIR) spectroscopy.  The imaging captures
all the spatial and spectral data that can be seen within the field
of view of the imaging device.  This new set of virtual eyes gives
users a more complete view of any type of reflecting material than
the human eye alone.  It can be used to reveal information about
both the identity of objects (e.g. pigments, lichen, binder) and
hidden text or pictorial information in built heritage as well as
objects in a museum, a library, or a university.  It also provides
information about the chemical composition and concentration,
effectively chemical imaging.

The EPSRC Centre for Doctoral Training in Science and Engineering in
Arts, Heritage and Archaeology (SEAHA) are proud to sponsor this one
day symposium that brings together some of the world's most
experienced practitioners in the emerging technique of multispectral
and hyperspectral imaging, alongside the cutting edge research that
is being carried out by their students and partners.

This impressive line-up of world class speakers will be sharing
their experience and recent findings and showcasing the power of
these techniques with dramatic discoveries and deep technical
knowledge.  This is an event not to be missed if you are an Imaging
Scientist and Heritage professional keen to learn and share more
about this exciting area of research.

The event will include talks from a wide range of specialists in
this field providing delegates the opportunity to ask any questions
they may have and to learn how these techniques are being used to
discover images that have never been seen before.

This will take you to the University of Oxford Online Store where
tickets can be purchased at a cost of UKP70.00 per person which
includes a full day of world class speakers along with many
opportunities to ask questions and network with like-minded
professionals.  Refreshments will be provided though-out the day
including a sit down lunch and wine reception.  Delegates are warmly
invited to submit a poster and those wishing to do so should contact
David Howell via david.howell<-at->bodleian<.>ox<.>ac<.>uk Joining instructions
will be sent out 2 weeks before the event confirming timings and
further information regarding directions and transport options.  If
