ART DIAGNOSTICS
Multispectral Color Acquisition

This is a digital multispectral colorimetric acquisition.

It is performed with a scientific cooled digital CCD camera, a set of 8 narrow band (50 nm) interferential filters, in the 350-780 nm range. The radiation source has a continuous emission spectrum, and rich emission in the long wavelength range.

The colorimetric coordinates may be provided, and their variation over two or more distinct acquisitions, with the computation of the DE (NorMaL 43/93 recommendations).

The acquisition is performed with a standardized procedure, implying prior lab calibration of the device, an on-site calibration, stable set-up, sensitivity, and radiation source, whose characteristics are mentioned in the technical report. This will be provided together with the acquired and processed data.

Data processing can be performed in order to enhance data fruition, e.g. by differentiating and spatially locating the various homogeneous areas, and comparing their data with the ones in our database, in order to identify the different materials. This method is specifically designed for this.

8 images, one for each band plus a panchromatic image, will be provided with 8 and 16 bit resolution, in raw and tiff format (or similar, as agreed upon) on a CD or DVD. If the acquisition consists of more than one image, a mosaic of the various images will be compiled and provided.

Average acquisition time: 2h/acquisition.
