| Summary: | 3D colour image data generated for the recording of small museum objects and archaeological finds are highly variable in quality and
fitness for purpose. Whilst current technology is capable of extremely high quality outputs, there are currently no common standards
or applicable guidelines in either the museum or engineering domain suited to scientific evaluation, understanding and tendering for
3D colour digital data.

This paper firstly explains the rationale towards and requirements for 3D digital documentation in museums. Secondly it describes
the design process, development and use of a new portable test object suited to sensor evaluation and the provision of user acceptance
metrics. The test object is specifically designed for museums and heritage institutions and includes known surface and geometric
properties which support quantitative and comparative imaging on different systems. The development for a supporting protocol will
allow object reference data to be included in the data processing workflow with specific reference to conservation and curation. |
