title = "A Note on Macroscopic Optical Coherence Tomography Imaging Enabled 3D Scanning for Museum and Cultural Heritage Applications",
abstract = "Optical coherence tomography (OCT) is a non-invasive imaging method that can be used to study the surface features and subsurface structures of delicate cultural heritage objects. However, the field of view of OCT severely limits the system{\textquoteright}s scanning area. Previously, we have presented a hybrid scanning platform combined with an imaging stitching algorithm to achieve macroscopic OCT (macro-OCT) imaging. This paper further demonstrates the potential applications of the OCT data by rendering 3D volumetric data into standard virtual reality (VR), augmented reality (AR), and 3D printing formats. The 3D model can be 3D printed or interactively displayed through various platforms such as VR and AR headsets, smartphones, and web pages. The high-resolution 3D models obtained from the macro-OCT system can potentially improve the experience of accessing artworks online and assist individuals with visual impairments to study art through tactile feedback.",

Other funding support came from the New Jersey Institute of Technology and Penn State University. Dr. Kristin deGhetaldi and Prof. Brian Baade of the University of Delaware provided painting samples and critical advice on art conservation methods. Both Dr. deGhetaldi and Mr. Baade have substantial experience working as art conservators in teaching and practicing. The painting sample is produced by Kali Wallace (MFA), who is a New Jersey based artist. She was recognized as the 2014 New Jersey Visual Artist of the Year by RAW. The 3D printing was supported by Penn State Abington{\textquoteright}s MakerSpace, under the leadership of William Cromar, MFA.
