Training Schools
TS Coordinator: Prof. Jon Hardeberg (NO)

Training Schools within the framework of the Action topic are aimed at:
• Widening the knowledge of the Action activities.
• Providing intensive training on a new and emerging subject.
• Offering familiarisation with unique equipment or know how in one of the laboratories of the Action.
Training Schools are not intended to provide general training or education. Those attending a Training School are typically – but not exclusively – young researchers from across Europe. Furthermore, Training Schools may also cover appropriate re-training as part of life-long learning. A Training School can also take the form of an Early Stage Researchers (less than PhD + 8 years) network created as a "think tank". COST support covers organisation of the school and participation support to both trainers (including external experts) and trainees.

Duration: between three days and two weeks
Eligible costs: local organiser (see local organiser support), Trainers (travel and substistence for trainers – same as for participants to COST meetings, Trainees (individuals grants, decided by MC but cannot exceed the normal reimbursement rates of COST
Local Organiser: Request for a TS has to be sent via the Chair to the MC after MC approval of the programme and the list of paid participants to the Grant Holder
Trainers and Trainees: Register on the e-COST application

2013 Training School in Warsaw

The first COSCH Training School (TS) was jointly organized by the Warsaw University of Technology and the Museum of King Jan III's Palace at Wilanów at Warsaw (25-27 November 2013) and dealt with "Automated 3D documentation of CH artefacts with robotized structured light system".

We started with a visit of the Museum of King Jan III's Palace at Wilanów along with a short presentation about the digital documentation strategy of the museum. Our visit was focussed on 3D documentation challenges. Finally we saw the 3D/2D documentation labs of the Museum. After lunch we started our work in the Labs of the Warsaw University of Technology. First, we were introduced to the 3D OGX|AUTOMATED system which is composed of a 3D structured light measurement head and a robot arm. On the second day we performed directional measurements and 3D data processing to create virtual representations of the analysed artefacts. All participants got the chance to manage 3D measurements by themselves. On the last day everybody prepared a 3D presentation using WebGL and OpenGL technologies.

At the end of our first TS we summarised that 3D documentation technologies require more automation and objectivity as well as faster measurement and data processing for CH objects.

Presentations: 3D digitisation process, data processing, visualisation of dense models of CH objects
