I came to Southampton in 2006 for my MSc degree and been keeping coming back ever since. I have been working more than a decade in ICT, providing solutions for different commercial IT and archaeological projects. Currently I am working for Portus Limen project and running small company called Archaeovision, which is focussing on cultural heritage documentation.

Multispectral world

Last weekend I spend some time with ACRG multispectral camera (converted Nikon D700). I got Hoya R72 infrared filter and walked on the fields of Western Estonia.

One thing I found out already, you need quite long exposure time for a sharp image or/and much brighter light source. Continue reading →

The secrets of Musawwarat

Previous works have mainly been focussing on archaeology and buildings, we took a closer look on graffiti on the walls. The team lead by Dr Cornelia Kleinitz, has been doing recording work here for several years. My job was to capture graffiti using RTI and photogrammetry. Also some of the walls were photographed with very high detail to produce high resolution composite images. Continue reading →
