Abstract
Two practical methods for implementing spectral imaging within the framework of museum studio photography were investigated. Imaging was carried out using a consumer RGB digital camera paired with either (1) colored glass filters and a broadband source or (2) optimized multichannel LED illumination, yielding five or six spectral image bands, respectively. Color targets were used to develop and verify profiles for transforming between the multiband camera signals and final color managed images. The filter-based and LED-based profiles were assessed quantitatively for color accuracy using color difference statistics, and several paintings were imaged and rendered using the profiles as a visual demonstration of the differences. While both were superior to conventional RGB imaging, the LED-based method outperformed the filter-based method for accurate reproduction of independent data. This supplements practicality and cost considerations that are informing the development of accessible spectral imaging strategies for highly color accurate museum studio photography.
