- Abstract:
- In this paper the authors propose the use of passive and active thermography to support the archaeological restoration. Restoration of archaeological discoveries is a time-consuming activity entailing high costs. Therefore, the possibility to schedule restoration when it becomes necessary is an important goal. In addition, to guide the restorer on the parts of the archaeological heritage with require urgent maintenance. The proposed technique allows to detect the damaged parts due to material alterations like alveolisation processes, erosions, deposition of iron oxide, defects, fissures, and material irregularities. Such material alterations are often invisible to the naked eye especially at their onset. This technique allow to map the manufact surface by detecting differences of the emissivity quantity.
