Our specialist imaging methodologies continue to technologically advance the field of heritage documentation, research and conservation. In 2008 Kevin Crause created Fingerprints in Time to enable the super-resolution imaging, processing and analysis of heritage data. Crause has since developed the cultural heritage imaging business to realise an unrivalled advancement of the full range of imaging techniques utilised within the fields of rock art, archaeology and palaeontology. Fingerprints in Time heritage imaging solutions specialises in advanced digital imaging, virtual & augmented reality systems and the development of the CPED (Capture, Process, Enhance, Display) Toolset. The CPED Toolset was designed by Crause to consolidate a range of imaging and image processing technologies that were developed within astronomy, medicine and forensics. Although Crause first began developing the CPED Toolset specifically to advance the documentation of threatened rock art heritage, it has since been very successfully deployed within archaeological and palaeontological heritage resources. The CPED model has gained scientific validity as a result of five years intensive field testing, investment in a wide spectrum of cutting-edge imaging equipment, and the development of custom software systems and scientifically accurate workflow methods. The visual representation of CPED data has been holistically reformed through virtual reality and augmented reality display technologies, bringing complex data sets to the desktop.
