[Irtalk] Webinar on Digitisation Thursday 31 October 2013

[Smith, Ina <ismith@sun.ac.za>]

Dear Colleagues

In its pursuit to develop excellence and high level research support, LIASA HELIG would like to invite you to the following webinar on digitisation:

About this webinar

Part of best practice in digitisation, includes the routine use of targets. The use of targets and the calibration of scanning are two different processes and should not be confused. Targets are used for evaluating the performance of scanners to set benchmarks. The literature recommends that the performance of a scanner must be verified before, during, and near the end of any digitisation project. By doing this verification process, operators can be sure that the equipment perform as expected. It provides a measure to point out any technical problems with the scanner including wear and tear.

During this presentation, Don Williams from Image Science Associates<http://www.imagescienceassociates.com/mm5/merchant.mvc?Screen=OURCOMP&Store_Code=ISA001> (New York) will give a 30 min. presentation on the advantages of using targets for digitising projects and any other relevant information that he thinks is necessary for project leaders and technicians, explaining what they should know and why.
