Multispectral and colour imaging systems for the detection of small vertebrate fossils: A preliminary study

Abstract: The process of separating small vertebrate fossils from sediment is a monotonous exercise, usually carried out manually and mainly based on morphological features. The large amount of time and personnel required results in the high economic costs associated with this antiquated technique. In this study we test the potential of colour and multispectral imaging for the detection of small vertebrate fossils to facilitate their separation from sediment. This technique is based on the analysis of the spectral and f… Show more

“…Another field of application of such systems is culture heritage, as they are non-invasive. Examples of such applications include the analysis and conservation of paintings and manuscripts, monitoring of buildings' surfaces [76], the study of archaeological materials [23], the detection of small vertebrate fossils [77], among others. Due to the large number of spectral bands that some of these systems have, it is possible to measure accurate spectral properties and colour from non-uniform samples as paints, allowing thus, the identification of pigments and inks used, the monitoring and evaluation of conservation treatments, and the image digitalization for documentation and archiving [23], [31] (Figure 2.13 right).…”
