Task 2.1.2

Produce handbook of best practice and standards for 3D imaging of NH specimens

Task

Handbook of best practice and standards for 3D imaging of Natural History specimens

Scope of the Handbook
The scope of this handbook is to present the different digitization techniques currently in use in European institutions. By presenting these techniques we aim to provide a guideline for other starting digitization initiatives by showing, which techniques can be used for a certain collection or specimen. In this handbook of best practice one will find, besides the general information of a certain technique, a thorough workflow, an equipment list and a test case per institution on how to create a good digital replica of a specimen.

Deliverable 2.4 3D Best Practice Handbook

Framework and Background

In SYNTHESYS3 Networking Activity 2 (NA2) Objective 2.1 it was set to produce a best practice handbook for 3D imaging. With this handbook as a guideline it would be possible for any institution to create 3D models of their collection.

Produce handbook of best practice and standards for 3D imaging of NH specimens

To get an overview of all relevant 3D techniques, software and equipment, a handbook of best practice for 3D imaging will be produced. The handbook will use JRA obj. 2 results and include recommendations concerning which techniques should be used for different types of object, and which technical standards exist for creating a 3D image and for visualisation of the images.
