When the RTI is opened, each pixel is able to reflect the software's virtual light from any position selected by the user. That means the synthesised RTI image 'knows' how light will reflect off the subject. This lets a user alter the lighting of the RTI image virtually and examine its surface interactively on a monitor.Įach RTI resembles a single two-dimensional photographic image but, unlike a typical photo, information about how it will reflect light is encoded in each pixel. Lighting information from the images is run through a mathematical formula to generate a computer model of its surface.

This process produces a series of images of the same subject with varying highlights and shadows.

Reflectance Transformation Imaging (RTI) uses computer software to analyse multiple photographs of a subject.Įach image is shot from a stationary camera position and light is projected from a different direction. 'I hope that by using this technique we’re able to find out more about Newton as man and boy and shine a light on how his extraordinary mind worked.’ Woolsthorpe Manor was the birthplace was the family home of Newton, who was born there on Christmas day, 1642.Īs well as the windmill, researchers uncovered a number of other lines carved into the stone walls, almost 300 years after the scientist’s death.Ĭhris Pickup from NTU, who made the discovery, said: 'It’s amazing to be using light, which Newton understood better than anyone before him, to discover more about his time at Woolsthorpe. RTI uses light to capture the shape and colour of a surface not visible to the naked eye.Įxperts were able to survey the walls of the 400 year old country house in painstaking detail, to discover previously unseen etchings. It is part of a series of scientific investigations being undertaken at the estate, near Grantham, Lincolnshire. The drawings were revealed by researchers from Nottingham Trent University, using Reflectance Transformation Imaging (RTI).
