The Future of Cultural Heritage Preservation – in Every Pixel
What if preserving the past didn’t mean touching it at all?
XpeCAM® X02 brings that vision to life, revolutionizing cultural heritage preservation and documentation with cutting-edge multispectral imaging (MSI) technology and smart, AI-powered analysis. Designed for conservators, scientists, historians, and museum professionals, this non-invasive yet powerful system lets you uncover pigment layers, hidden details, and material conditions – without ever laying a finger on the artifact.
From ancient manuscripts to mural paintings and other types of artwork, XpeCAM® X02 helps reveal the stories beneath the surface – safely, efficiently, and in stunning detail. Built with a user-friendly interface, cloud-based processing, and full customization, it’s more than a tool. It’s a transformation in how we see, study, document, and preserve the world’s cultural treasures.
Moreover, it overcomes the constraints of traditional spectral imaging. The following table illustrates the limitations of traditional methods and how XpeCAM® X02 effectively addresses these issues:
| Traditional MSI | XpeCAM® X02 | |
|---|---|---|
| Spectral Range | Restricted spectral range as many traditional multispectral cameras are limited to a spectral range of 400 - 1000 nm, which is insufficient for certain applications that require a broader range. | Broad spectral range as XpeCAM® X02 captures a wide range of wavelengths from ultraviolet (UV), visible, to infrared (IR), providing a comprehensive spectral analysis that reveals hidden details in artworks. Spectral sensivity 350 - 1200 nm. |
| Spectral Resolution | Lower spectral resolution, as traditional multispectral imaging, often lacks the ability to distinguish between closely related materials due to limited spectral resolution. | By leveraging hyperspectral imaging technology, XpeCAM® X02 offers high spectral resolution, enabling precise identification and classification of pigments and materials. Numbers of filters are 30 filters. |
| Data Analysis | Complex data analysis: The analysis of spectral data from traditional systems can be complex and time-consuming, often requiring specialized knowledge and software. | Advanced data analysis: XpeCAM® X02 integrates artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning to automate the analysis of spectral data. This approach simplifies the process, making it more accessible to conservation scientists without extensive technical expertise. |
| Documentation | Traditional text-based documentation with added illustrations. | Images-based documentation with added text. |
What’s new in XpeCAM® X02?
At D&J, we always endeavour to support professionals in cultural heritage in their daily work with our products. That’s why we are excited to share some powerful new features recently developed for XpeCAM® X02. These updates are designed to enhance collaboration, expand analytical capability, and make your work with XpeCAM® X02 even more efficient.
Here is what is new:
1. Seamless Project Sharing
Collaboration is now built in XpeCAM® X02 users can now share projects with colleagues using flexible access levels and user roles. Whether you are working across departments, institutions, or research teams, this update allows multiple contributors to work on the same project in real time, keeping analysis aligned and workflow smooth.
2. Merging Spectral Cubes for Broader Views
Need to capture more without compromising detail? With the new merging function, users can now combine up to 6 - 8 spectral cubes directly on XpeCAM® X02’s cloud platform. This makes it easier to study larger surfaces while maintaining high spectral precision.
