Abstract

A software application for colorimetric and spectral processing of six-channel spectral images has recently been developed. The application, called Beyond RGB, takes as input two RAW RGB image sets (object/flat-field/dark current) captured under two different lighting or filtering conditions, and outputs 1.) a color managed RGB image with ancillary information about the accuracy of the color calibration and 2.) a spectral reflectance transform that enables the interactive estimation of reflectance curves from user-selected regions of interest in the image. Beyond RGB was designed with considerations for form, function, and user friendliness, and is intended for use by cultural heritage imaging professionals. It is cross-platform compatible and is operated through an interactive graphical user interface. Beyond RGB is a living, updatable, open-source project, and is freely available for download from the project’s public GitHub repository.
