In August 2024, Archaeovision undertook a detailed programme of Reflectance Transformation Imaging (RTI) and photogrammetric recording at the former Methodist chapel burial ground in East Boldre, New Forest. The survey focused on a group of historic headstones that had been re-erected in a vertical position, many of which exhibited advanced surface erosion and reduced inscription…

We recently oversaw the high resolution photogrammetry survey of the clock at the Church of the Holy Spirit, utilising a scaffolding system in front hundreds of tourists, and falls within our overall Ackerman project. More on this clock can be found on the Ackermann project blog and we will provide more on the result soon.
Last week we tested our new light dome at the Estonian Academy of Arts and the Estonian War Museum. The Dome allows you to significantly speed-up the RTI shooting process. The results are beautiful as always.
