Competences

Digital Reading Studies

There is more than books. We explore the following question with computational and experimental methods: How do people read and write in today`s digital world? If you want to know more about this topic, get in contact with us. Click here for the corresponding contact details. more

Corpus Building

Understanding culture with machines depends on representative and balanced corpora of texts and artifacts. We have competences in corpus building and exploration. To know more about this topic, get in contact with us. Click here for the corresponding contact details. more

International Image Interoperability Framework

Promotion and Enhancement of IIIF server technology for access and archiving. Con- cept of on the fly transcoding for video to offer a full feature media server optimized for archiving. Developing a high perfor- mance iiif complaint image server. more

Database and Data Modeling

We are RDF experts and have rich knowledge in designing ontologies and performant data base designs, that fulfill the highest needs regarding interoperability and simply maintenance. We operate the Data and Service Center for the Humanities (DaSCH), an RDF based database (dasch.swiss). more

Web Graphics Library

We are using WebGL for the visualization of image data, e.g. gained from Reflectance Transformation Imaging or other photographically gained textures that can be applied on 3D meshes. WebGL is a promising approach for data visualization of any kind (experiments.withgoogle.com/ collection/chrome). more

Color Science, Color Management, Color Technology

We have a deep knowledge in color science, color transforms and color perception. We are doing research in color vision and high fidelity color measurements and renderings in the context of cultural heritage imaging. more

Analogue and Digital Photography

Our roots are scientific photography and we still take care on that topic. We have rich knowledge in analogue and digital photography, the photographic transition, studio techniques, reproduction of artwork and new computational methods. To know more about the project, click here for the corresponding contact details. more

Digital Preservation and Access

We are pioneers in digital preservation, developed bits-on-film solutions like Monolith™ or Distarnet, the storage networks for automatic redundancy balancing and migration. We are the host of the TI/A initiative. Do you want to know more about digital preservation, get in contact with us. more

Reflection Transformation Imaging

We are well experienced in calculating and visualization of RTIs. We develop new software to be able to reproduce multiple materials properly and we can embed RTIs in Virtual Research Environment. We are proud origin of the start-up TRUVIS AG (truvis.ch). Click here for the corresponding contact details. more

Camera Scanner Design

We did multiple industry projects to en- hance scanners for motion picture, sound and photography. Due to our knowledge in optics and electrical engineering we are able to find pragmatic solutions and to develop new imaging devices.
