ABSTRACT Virtual Reflectance Transformation Imaging (V-RTI) is a hybrid method that combines 3D, Virtual Reality (VR) and 2D+ technologies into a rapid, lightweight, and user-friendly method of recording archaeological monuments in the field. The resultant image file can be interactively lit from various positions to highlight surface texture and detail not generally visible to the naked eye. In this article, we describe the V-RTI method and critically compare it to the current standard Highlight (H-RTI) method. We present results of a field trial of V-RTI in a challenging urban environment that yielded a new inscription, new readings, and epigraphic palimpsests that significantly change our understanding of the ancient Lycian city of Telmessos. We conclude that V-RTI is a valuable new tool for recording at-risk heritage worldwide and should be considered a default recording tool for field survey and conservation for many different classes of field monument.

刻在石头上：古典特尔梅索斯（费特希耶）的虚拟反射变换成像（V-RTI）现场试验

摘要虚拟反射变换成像（V-RTI）是一种混合方法，将3D，虚拟现实（VR）和2D +技术结合在一起，成为一种快速，轻巧且用户友好的现场记录考古遗迹的方法。可以从各个位置以交互方式点亮生成的图像文件，以突出显示肉眼通常不可见的表面纹理和细节。在本文中，我们描述了V-RTI方法并将其与当前标准的Highlight（H-RTI）方法进行严格比较。我们介绍了在具有挑战性的城市环境中进行V-RTI的现场试验的结果，该试验产生了新的铭文，新的读物和史诗般的镇静剂，这些都极大地改变了我们对古老的利西亚城市Telmessos的理解。
