In the fields of documentation and conservation of cultural
heritage assets, there is a constant need for higher quality
records and better analytical tools for extracting information
about the condition of artefacts. Digital photography and digital
image processing provide these capabilities, and recent
technological advances in both fields promise new levels of
performance for the capture and understanding of colour images.
This inter-disciplinary book covers the imaging of decorated
surfaces in historical buildings and the digitisation of documents,
paintings and objects in museums and galleries, and shows how user
requirements can be met by application of powerful digital imaging
techniques. Numerous case studies illustrate the methods.

Although a small Warwickshire market town, Stratford-upon-Avon has
a remarkable number and variety of historic buildings. The medieval
street plan survives, with most of the streets still known by the
same names. Over the past 250 years, tourism has become a major
activity because of the town's associations with William
Shakespeare, and the Royal Shakespeare Theatre on the riverside.
Many listed buildings are located along the Historic Spine, which
runs from Shakespeare's Birthplace through the town centre to his
resting place at Holy Trinity Church. In Stratford-upon-Avon in 50
Buildings, Robert Bearman and Lindsay MacDonald present an engaging
and insightful account of the rich architectural heritage of the
town. The buildings and landmarks featured are all much appreciated
by townspeople and tourists alike, and they give the town its
essential character. Taken together, this wide-ranging selection of
buildings, landmarks and architectural styles tells the story of
the town's history and development from its medieval origins
through all of its phases to the present day. Superbly illustrated
throughout, this book will be of immense interest to residents,
visitors and local historians.
In this unique collection the authors present a wide range of
interdisciplinary methods to study, document, and conserve material
cultural heritage. The methods used serve as exemplars of best
practice with a wide variety of cultural heritage objects having
been recorded, examined, and visualised. The objects range in date,
scale, materials, and state of preservation and so pose different
research questions and challenges for digitization, conservation,
and ontological representation of knowledge. Heritage science and
specialist digital technologies are presented in a way approachable
to non-scientists, while a separate technical section provides
details of methods and techniques, alongside examples of notable
applications of spatial and spectral documentation of material
cultural heritage, with selected literature and identification of
future research. This book is an outcome of interdisciplinary
research and debates conducted by the participants of the COST
Action TD1201, Colour and Space in Cultural Heritage, 2012-16 and
is an Open Access publication available under a CC BY-NC-ND
licence.
