Phase One Announces Rainbow Multispectral Imaging Solution Share This on LinkedIn   Tweet This   Forward This

19 May 2022

Phase One has announced the Rainbow Multispectral Imaging Solution, a fully automated, high-resolution imaging system to precisely and non-invasively capture, process and analyze cultural artifacts.

Among those artifacts the system is designed to capture are:

  • Images in paintings and artworks
  • Ancient texts that may be invisible to the human eye
  • Other rare and important objects and materials

"The Rainbow MSI solution's automation solves the tedious, complex and error-prone process of manual multispectral imaging," said Eric Joakim, product portfolio manager of cultural heritage at Phase One. "Its faster workflow helps protect fragile subject matter by reducing exposure time, getting it right with the first shot."

FEATURES

Using the Phase One iXH 150-Mp or iXG 100-Mp camera, the Rainbow MSI solution offers:

  • Analysis Module for both multiband and narrowband image stacks
  • Analysis Tool to deliver results quickly and easily
  • Principal component analysis
  • Independent component analysis
  • Clustering (K-Means)
  • Filtering of images based on a 2D histogram of PCA channels
  • Spectral Readout Tool helps with material identification and classification
  • Narrowband to RGB conversion produces a full color image from a narrowband stack

At this level of automation scientifically unskilled people can complete multispectral imaging projects, the company said.

And since the process is so much faster, researchers and conservators can consider capturing a complete book rather than just a handful of selected pages.

PRICE, AVAILABILITY

The Phase One Multispectral Imaging Solution is available now for $118,990/€104,990 to start.

The Phase One Rainbow Multispectral Imaging Solution Deciphers Imaging Challenges

Ranging from Cultural Heritage Projects to Police Forensics & Industrial Applications

COPENHAGEN -- Phase One has optimized the industry's first fully automated high-resolution multispectral imaging workflow solution. The Phase One Rainbow MSI Solution simplifies imaging with multispectral light to precisely and non-invasively capture, process and analyze images in paintings and artworks; ancient texts that may be invisible to the human eye; and objects and materials for accurate, detailed identification and classification -- all at unprecedented speeds.

The Phase One Rainbow MSI is the only system currently available that offers a fully automated 150-megapixel stack capture workflow. It supports both multiband and narrowband imaging, adhering to Charisma guidelines for multiband. Its very high resolution image capture reduces capture sequence requirements, thus protecting fragile documents and artifacts from radiation exposure time. The camera's high dynamic range means that even the slightest image traces are captured and included for post-capture analysis. Its simplicity and reliability make it suitable for use by anyone in an institution regardless of their level of technical expertise.

"The Rainbow MSI solution's automation solves the tedious, complex and error-prone process of manual multispectral imaging," said Eric Joakim, Product Portfolio Manager, Cultural Heritage at Phase One. "Its faster workflow helps protect fragile subject matter by reducing exposure time, getting it right with the first shot."

New Phase One Rainbow MSI Solution Features

Featuring the standard-setting, high-resolution Phase One iXH 150-Mp or iXG 100-Mp camera, the Rainbow MSI solution now offers new tools for faster calibration and faster processing:

  • Analysis Module for both multiband and narrowband image stacks
  • Analysis Tool to deliver results quickly and easily
  • Principal component analysis
  • Independent component analysis
  • Clustering (K-Means)
  • Filtering of images based on a 2D histogram of PCA channels
  • Spectral Readout Tool helps with material identification and classification
  • Narrowband to RGB conversion produces a full color image from a narrowband stack

With the Rainbow MSI solution, after an initial calibration process, image stacks can now be captured and processed with a single mouse click -- saving time when compared to a manual workflow. The system delivers image stacks with immaculate exposures throughout, with perfectly aligned images to enable and simplify their post-capture analysis. It supports both multiband (UV, white, IR) and narrowband (16 individual wavebands from UV through to IR) multispectral imaging to facilitate a wide range of applications. It offers capture, processing and analysis of image stacks using either method.

This level of automation means that even scientifically unskilled people in an institution can undertake multispectral imaging projects. Also, since the process is so much faster, researchers and conservators can consider capturing a complete book rather than just a handful of selected pages. If the object were a large painting requiring several step and repeat captures, this automated workflow could make the project more feasible.
