About NTNU

The Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU) is Norway’s largest university, with its headquarters in Trondheim and campuses in Gjøvik and Ålesund. The university comprises eight faculties and 55 departments, and is home to approximately 43,000 students and more than 7,400 academic and scientific staff.

NTNU participates in UNCHANGE through the Department of Computer Science (IDI), bringing together expertise from both the Trondheim and Gjøvik campuses. A central role in the project is played by Colourlab, a research group based in Gjøvik that has established itself as an internationally recognised centre of excellence in colour imaging, image and video processing, colour management, image analysis, computer vision, and spectral imaging. Since its foundation in 2001, Colourlab has grown to include 52 members, among them 20 PhD candidates.

The project benefits from the combined strengths of researchers across IDI, with activities taking place at both campuses. As the main laboratory involved in UNCHANGE, Colourlab provides more than 200 m² of specialised facilities dedicated to colour and spectral measurement. Its infrastructure includes multispectral and hyperspectral imaging systems covering the visible, VNIR, and SWIR spectral ranges, tele-spectroradiometers, spectrometers, colour calibration targets, and reference materials for spectral measurements.

In addition, the laboratory is equipped with viewing booths, 3D hardware, advanced software for 3D and spectral image processing, and high-performance NVIDIA GPU workstations and servers, providing a state-of-the-art environment for the research and innovation activities undertaken within the project.

From NTNU, the University Museum will also take part in the project, offering secondments and case studies.
