Dr. Giles Bergel (University of Oxford):
Reading Images Digitally: A practical introduction to Visual AI for cultural heritage

Computer vision - or the extraction of useful data from images - has made great progress in recent years and is now often considered as a branch of AI. This hands-on workshop will demonstrate how computer vision is being used in cultural heritage research and curation. The

first half of the workshop will showcase collaborations between the Visual Geometry Group (VGG) and researchers in book and art history, including the e-Illustrace Database of Early-Modern Czech Book Illustration. The second half will allow participants to try some of the

tools used in these collaborations. No familiarity with AI, computer vision or coding is required, but participants will need a laptop.
