Spectrophotometric measurements of color test targets and precise high quality photographing of cultural heritage objects for archival purposes – Part 2
The digital archiving of cultural heritage objects requires precise, high-resolution digital photography. This process necessitates the use of specialized photographic and lighting equipment, as well as laser-based calibration to align the camera accurately with the plane being photographed. The pixels captured in these high-precision images are recorded within the perceptually uniform CIELAB color space. To achieve maximum precision, a correction table for the data of each recorded pixel is established using ICC (International Color Consortium) profiles. This is made possible by photographing high-quality, certified color test targets. However, particular attention must be paid to the spectrophotometric measurements of these color test targets, as well as to the appropriate two-dimensional interpolation of the final results.

Biography:
Marcin Dąbrowski completed his master's degree in 2006 at the Poznań University of Technology, Poland, Faculty of Electronics and Telecommunications, specializing in telecommunications systems. In 2014, he completed his doctoral studies at the Warsaw University of Technology, receiving his Ph.D. from the Faculty of Electronics and Information Technology, specializing in radioelectronics. Then he worked at Polish Television (TVP) as deputy director of the TVP Technology Department. He also worked at KorDa Broadcast and ITI Neovision as head of the Set-Top Box Development Department. He currently works at the Poznań Supercomputing and Networking Center in the New Media Department and at the Poznań University of Technology in the Institute of Automatic Control and Robotics.
His research interests include radio communications, the electromagnetic spectrum, image and audio signal processing, application of artificial intelligence in this field, templates for the digitization of cultural heritage, development of online portals and services, and streaming technologies.
He has been involved in terrestrial DVB-T digitalization (MUX-1, MUX-3), DVB-T2 testing, radio measurements and planning, liaison with the regulator (UKE/KRRiT), coordinating the construction of the broadcast network, radio licenses and frequency reservations, implementing new technologies, building play-out systems, and numerous modernization projects for the Central Broadcasting Equipment and satellite systems. He has also worked on the development and production of custom and unique professional studio equipment according to customer specifications. Moreover, he was involved in the development of software for DVB and OTT decoders and back-end services, creating system and interface specifications, testing decoders for the nc+ digital platform, Canal+, and the Player+ services, and introducing decoders to the market. He designed and built services and systems (back-end, front-end) in the fields of video streaming and image processing, as well as service and infrastructure integration.
