Data Capture and Enhanced Image Sensing

LFUI

The institution operates a prototype robotic scanner optimized for carefully digitizing loose A4-sized papers, specifically designed for processing registration forms from the 1910s. This specialized equipment enables the scanning of loose-leaf collections that cannot be processed using conventional feed scanners.

The institution operates two advanced multispectral imaging systems:

  1. XpeCAM System
    • Mobile filter-based multispectral imaging system with dedicated lighting
    • 6.4 Mpx resolution with spectral sensitivity of 350-1200nm (30 filters)
    • No darkroom required for operation
    • Highly portable setup with camera and 2 lighting units on stands
    • Applications: Historical manuscript/painting capture, palimpsest visualization, underwriting detection
    • More info: https://xpecam.com/
  2. MISHA System (Open Source MSI System Rochester Institute of Technology)
    • Mobile multispectral imaging system optimized for archive materials
    • Specifically designed for flat objects (manuscripts, books)
    • LED-based lighting system for different wavelength ranges
    • Requires light-tight enclosure (implemented with light-proof fabric + mount)
    • Highly portable and easy to set up on-site
