The Digitisation domain mainly focuses on the development of next-generation technologies for 3D scanning of artefacts through the introduction of advanced computer vision and signal processing techniques. The primary aim of 3D digitisation is the creation of digital copies (‘twins’) of cultural artefacts held at galleries, archives and museums. This Research Area utilises high-resolution images and structured light scanner data to generate 3D reconstructions of cultural artefacts, exploring emerging computer vision and signal processing techniques. Further, the focus of this Research Area is the development of search methods to provide adequate access to a large number of digitised artefacts, making available the software and hardware outcomes of this work.
