Much of its work is in the field, particularly in developing and testing new, alternative or experimental methods of non-intrusive image data capture.
Special emphasis is placed on the application of the computer to research and image digitization.
Experimental imaging techniques, particularly in image capture and recording, both traditional and digital. Non-intrusive capture is pivotal. Image analysis and manipulation with special emphasis on digital techniques. Image editing programs allow data extraction from digital images where traditional mechanical methods often fail. Analysis of the needs of the rock art study community and the development of applications important to the enhancement of research and study.
