Facilitating national cultural research into historically significant textile- based heritage artefacts through the application of high-end photogrammetry techniques to create a transformative digital collection of three-dimensional datasets. Dr David Pyle and Dr Gavin Sade CRICOS No.00213J
Project in a nutshell Aims to: • Identify creditable leaders and key stakeholders • Devise technical and governance frameworks • Establish content strategy and workflows • Develop technical designs and specifications for a mobile, flexible photogrammetry system • Explore options for online access to digital artefacts that accommodate technical, intellectual property and FAIR issues to ensure researchers • Develop models and associated legal and contractual instruments to enable institutional participation. Mobile Photogrammetry Solution. QUT CRICOS No.00213J
Key Issues • Collecting institutions face challenges exhibiting and preserving fragile collections such as organic and textile artefacts • Highly susceptible to degradation through exposure to UV, humidity, pests, chemicals and handling. • Preservation practices control the amount of time items are exposed to factors that cause degradation • This limits access for researchers, students and the public to significant collections • Ability to produce high quality digital 3D representations of artefacts is becoming more accessible, and will continue to improve, yet there is no national platform Photogrammetry Samples. Reality Capture Interface. SketchFab CRICOS No.00213J
Lessons Learnt • Only a very small percentage of the national cultural heritage collection is accessible at any given time. • Most large collecting institutions in the country are looking at this issue, have varying degrees of capability in photogrammetry, and some are working with partners with high-end capabilities. National Library of Australia. Trove. • There is no current platform for archiving and exhibiting 3D scared cultural artefacts. The National Library of Australia’s platform, Trove, addresses a similar problem for 2D print documents. • One of the challenges of working with 3D representations created via 3D scanning is the size of the data sets.
