In most cases\, however\, imaging and scanning are predominantly means of documentation and archival\, and digital processing ends with the creation of a digital image or 3D model. At the example of two projects\, the speaker will demonstrate how careful analysis of the underlying cultural-heritage questions allows for bespoke solutions that–through joint development of imaging procedures\, data analysis and visualisations–directly support conservators and humanities researchers in their work. Tim Weyrich will report on his experiences with fresco reconstruction at the Akrotiri Excavation\, Santorini\, and on the reconstruction of fire-damaged parchment with London Metropolitan Archives. \nShort-Bio \nTim Weyrich is a Reader in the Virtual Environments and Computer Graphics group in the Department of Computer Science\, University College London\, and co-founder and Deputy Director of the UCL Centre for Digital Humanities. Prior to coming to UCL\, Tim was a Postdoctoral Teaching Fellow of Princeton University\, working in the Princeton Computer Graphics Group\, a post he took after having received his PhD from ETH Zurich\, Switzerland\, in 2006. His research interests are appearance modelling and fabrication\, point-based graphics\, 3D reconstruction\, cultural heritage analysis and digital humanities. \nhttp://reality.cs.ucl.ac.uk/weyrich.php URL:http://wp.doc.ic.ac.uk/rgi/event/tim-weyrich-ucl-computational-analysis-in-cultural-heritage-applications/ LOCATION:Huxley 218 END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
