Project Summary | Project Information |
---|---|
The George Eastman Museum's 2D artifact digitization process is currently an almost entirely manual one and is very labor intensive and time consuming. The museum photographer must manually calibrate the lighting to account for camera height, position the artifact carefully and capture one or more images of it while verifying the quality of the images and cleaning away dust every few images. Ideally, this digitization process would have many of its key steps be automated, greatly reducing the time taken to digitize an object and reducing strain on the operator. This automation would function in such a way as to ensure the safety of both the artifact being imaged and the operator of the system. The goals of this project are to analyze the current digitization process and to identify and address major points of improvement. These issues will be addressed in such a way as to be compliant to OSHA standards and intellectual property licenses and allow for the ability to upgrade the current equiment and to meet the FADGI 4-star requirements. |
