Call for Papers JAIC Special Issue on Reflectance Hyperspectral Imaging to Support Documentation and Conservation of 2D Artworks
The Journal of American Institute for Conservation (JAIC) seeks submissions for a special issue on the topic of "Reflectance hyperspectral imaging to support documentation and conservation of 2D artworks." Two-dimensional artworks include paintings, works on paper, tapestries, and photographic materials. The focus of this special issue is on hyperspectral systems that provide continuous reflectance spectra over the portion of the spectral range from the UV to the Mid-IR. Specific areas of interest include: --Description of the best methodologies and acquisition parameters of workflows for operating hyperspectral imaging cameras under museum conditions or in non-controlled environments such as when studying outdoor frescoes or murals; --Hyperspectral image cube processing workflows to mine datasets for useful information such as pigment or binder maps, or visualizing compositional changes or revisions; --Defining, testing, implementing, and developing specific criteria for optimizing the format of acquired data and processing procedures for analysis, storage, usage, and dissemination of hyperspectral imaging data and results; --Case studies on the identification of artists' materials using reflectance hyperspectral imaging, mapping distribution or improving visualization of compositional paint changes or revisions. Authors are invited to submit an abstract and article outline to the special issue organizers by January 31, 2018. Complete article submissions are due April 30, 2018. JAIC guidelines and its style guide are found at www.conservation-us.org/jaic. Articles selected by the guest organizers should be submitted through our online portal at jac.edmgr.com. Datasets can be included as supplemental information. You may send inquiries about the issue to Julio M. del Hoyo-Meléndez, JAIC Editor-in-Chief, at [email protected].
