RTI Resolver

A Research Initiative

By Demján-Držík.com, creators
of the Laser Aided Profiler

We are working on making RTI portable and scalable.

Explore surface detail for research, documentation, publication and presentation — from archaeological investigation to museum collections.

We are looking for research partners, pilot applications and user insights to help shape the system around real-world needs.

Why RTI Resolver?

RTI is not new. The challenge is making it easier to use consistently.

Building on our experience with the Laser-Aided Profiler, the RTI Resolver initiative explores a standardized approach to controlled RTI acquisition and research workflows.

Portable

Bring controlled RTI acquisition closer to collections, fieldwork and research projects.

Standardized

Create a controlled acquisition approach designed for consistent results.

Scalable

Move from detailed examination of individual objects toward systematic processing of larger research datasets.

Publication & Presentation

Create clear, high-quality visual outputs for your research, publication and presentation needs.

What RTI can reveal

Reveal fine surface evidence.

Controlled directional lighting and interactive relighting can make subtle surface information easier to inspect, document and compare.

  • Inscriptions and shallow markings
  • Tool marks and manufacturing traces
  • Coin features and worn relief
  • Decoration and fine surface details
  • Wear, fingerprints and other surface evidence

The same visualizations can support detailed research as well as clear, compelling presentation of cultural heritage objects.

Research at scale

From individual objects to research datasets.

Capture surface information once. Use it for examination, comparison, publication and presentation.

Digitization

Create controlled digital records of surface information.

Detailed inspection

Examine subtle features through interactive relighting and derived views.

Large-scale processing

Extend surface examination from individual objects toward larger research datasets.

Publication & Presentation

Create clear, high-quality visual outputs for your research, publication and presentation needs.
