ART-SI Researchers at the National Gallery of Art, Washington, D.C.

Five people from the ART-SI research team at RIT traveled to Washington, D.C. on December 11, 2002 to apply our imaging system at the National Gallery of Art. Imaging took place on December 12th and 13th. Five paintings from the NGA were imaged, along with various targets. Here's what happened:
