An investigation of 3D technologies applied to historic textiles for improved understanding, conservation and engagement

易碎的刺绣纺织品需要防止过度曝光和控制环境条件，以避免变质。封闭的陈列柜为保护这些历史纺织品提供了必要的措施，但阻碍了人们进入并减少了解释和接触的可能性。这项研究计划旨在与巴斯Holburne博物馆的斯图尔特刺绣收藏品合作，与策展人和数字学习团队一起，帮助理解树桩刺绣的制作和保护，同时提供新的参与途径，并克服玻璃盒体验掩盖了它们的材料和设计特征。这个项目提出了一种新的方法，通过3D计算摄影和3D制造技术来捕捉和传播高度复杂的历史纺织品，并以霍尔本博物馆刺绣为例。该项目的第一阶段将调查记录历史纺织品，特别是树桩刺绣的方法，使用摄影测量和光度立体技术相结合的负担得起的定制扫描系统。CFPR为捕捉艺术品而开发的这种独特的组合方法，将允许高质量地准确记录织物表面的颜色和复杂的表面形状。这一方法将提供必要的图像集，以便以高分辨率记录和监测，并为公共参与活动生成数字和实物输出。研究的第二阶段将产生创新成果，以促进与刺绣的接触。为保护和文献目的产生的数据将用于教育方案，为视障游客提供包容性访问，并使人们能够虚拟访问霍尔本博物馆的刺绣作品。该项目将通过生产可获得的数字和触觉产品，重振纺织品的物质方面。这项研究将促进开发记录和监测复杂的历史纺织品的改进方法，以支持保护处理。该项目还将使霍尔本博物馆和未来的其他历史纺织收藏品能够更好地了解他们的收藏品，并帮助他们找到新的解释形式。该奖学金还旨在发展哈维尔·奥尔·卡尔韦博士的研究领导力和能力，以实现一个跨学科的项目。这将通过一系列传播活动来确保，包括对学术和非学术受众的演讲、出版研究和动手活动，如研讨会和用原型展示和讲述活动，以丰富观众和霍尔本纺织品收藏之间的接触。一个由不同学科的学者和利益相关者组成的网络将支持该项目，并为未来的研究途径提供见解。

Fragile embroidered textiles require protection from overexposure and control of environmental conditions to avert deterioration. Enclosed display cases provide the necessary measures to protect such historic textiles but obstruct access and reduce the possibilities for interpretation and engagement. This research proposal is designed to work with the collection of Stuart embroideries at The Holburne Museum in Bath alongside the curatorial and digital learning teams to contribute to the understanding of the stumpwork embroideries' manufacture and conservation while providing new avenues for engagement and overcome the glass box experience that has obscured their material and design characteristics. This project proposes a novel methodology for the capture and dissemination of highly intricate historic textiles through 3D computational photography and 3D manufacturing techniques, using The Holburne Museum embroideries as a case study. The first stage of the project will investigate the methodological approach to the recording of historic textiles, particularly the stump work embroideries, with affordable custom scanning systems using a combination of photogrammetry and photometric stereo techniques. This unique combined approach, developed at the CFPR for the capture of artworks, will allow the accurate recording of both colour and intricate surface shape of fabric surfaces in high-quality. This method will provide the necessary image sets to document and monitor in high-resolution and generate digital and physical outputs for public engagement activities. The second stage of the research will produce innovative outputs for facilitating engagement with the embroideries. Data generated for conservation and documentation purposes will be exploited for educational programmes, to provide inclusive access for e.g., visually impaired visitors and enable virtual access to The Holburne Museum embroideries. This project will revitalise the material aspect of textiles, through the production of accessible digital and tactile outputs. This research will facilitate the development of enhanced methods of recording and monitoring complex historic textiles to support conservation treatments. This project will also enable The Holburne Museum and, in the future, other historic textile collections to gain a better understanding of their collections and help them find new forms of interpretation. The fellowship also aims to develop Dr Xavier Aure Calvet's research leadership and capacity to deliver a cross-disciplinary project. This will be ensured through a range of dissemination activities including talks to both academic and non-academic audiences, publishing research and hands-on activities such as workshops and show and tell events with prototypes to enrich encounters between audiences and The Holburne's collection of textiles. A network of academics and stakeholders from various disciplines will support the project and provide insights for future avenues for research.
