Innovation, Impact and Sustainability
The overall aim of NA3 is to ensure that SYNTHESYS3 has a clear pathway to impact by making certain that
outputs are well publicised to, and utilised by, the broader research and development community – and that the
work undertaken and benefits created continue beyond the life of the project. Moreover, the outputs assist in the
delivery of other key European initiatives including, but not limited to, LifeWatch

Identify which digital image data are most appropriate for use with crowdsourcing. This work will draw on
experience with other citizen science crowdsourcing efforts, such as the Zooniverse (www.zooniverse.org)
project.

High Resolution 3D colour image acquisition
Complementary approaches (colour surface scanning, photogrammetry) will be developed in order to provide
complete information (3D and colour data) of the specimen. Collaborate with existing European projects such
as 3DCOFORM whose focus is on Cultural Heritage digitisation. This task will develop 3DCOFORM outputs to
enable their use with NH specimens.
