This document will present the workflow and equipment used by LACMA’s Conservation Center photo studio to produce consistent ultraviolet-induced visible fluorescence and ultraviolet reflected images.
This workflow covers capture, processing, and analysis in Agisoft Metashape Professional 1.5.2 and CloudCompare 2.10.2 Zephyrus. The workflow has been updated and improved upon in later publications by Rose et al., but these updated workflows are currently not shareable on the Wiki.
The Met's Lightroom based scene referred color calibrated image capture workflow was written with the intention of being accessible to the broadest audience possible, so some of it may seem elementary knowledge to Imaging professionals but is an important foundation for those who are not. The workflow may not be much different from what some are already doing but it has proven effective and reliable across multiple imaging stations with various equipment over the course of years so we wanted to share it.
