Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The nondestructive characterization of both the structure and the artistic features of Cultural Heritage artifacts may allow us to gather significant insights into their manufacturing process and conservation state, also in order to plan adequate restoration treatments. To this aim, infrared imaging techniques have been proven to be effective tools for the non-invasive analysis of different kind of artworks. Among others, infrared thermography and reflectography have been successfully applied to a large variety of Heritage items, including bronzes, library materials, and painted artworks.
This Special Issue is dedicated to the use of infrared imaging techniques for the inspection of Heritage items. In particular, manuscripts dealing with the development of new methodologies or the application of well-established techniques to specific cases will be considered for publication. This Special Issue is aimed at reviewing new research works carried out in this field in order to demonstrate that infrared imaging techniques can be considered valuable tools today for the detection of a large number of relevant features, thus providing useful information for both scholars and restorers
Original papers which present innovative methods and proposal of new procedures are considered of great interest. We also encourage the submission of case studies and review articles.
