An inlay sample with artificial defects was inspected via the pulse-compression
thermography (PuCT) technique. The sample belongs to the cultural heritage field, and it …

Detection of gunshot residues (GSR) in a bullet hole area is one of the forensic
investigations aiding in the reconstruction of crime scenes. Traditionally, chromogenic …

Pulse-compression is a correlation-based measurement technique successfully used in
many NDE applications to increase the SNR in the presence of huge noise, strong signal …

Health of ancient artworks must be routinely monitored for their adequate preservation.
Faults in these artworks may develop over time and must be identified as precisely as …

A novel experimental method for the detection of thermal bridges in building envelopes is
presented. The combination of active infrared thermography (IRT) and singular value …

The study and analysis of defects in wall paintings is possible by stimulated infrared
thermography, this approach is of great interest to the scientific community responsible for …

The non destructive testing of the murals paintings of the inheritance by stimulated infra-red
thermography is already relatively efficient [1-30]. However, the different radiative properties …

Infrared thermography is a non-destructive method that is becoming attractive due to its
ability to inspect noninvasively large areas in short times. This work demonstrates that the …

In this work, we study the stimulated infrared thermography possibilities to differentiate
fresco and mural painting using bone adhesive. We show theoretically and experimentally …

In the context of the conservation of works of art from the cultural heritage, stimulated
infrared thermography allows the non-destructive detection of the presence of defects …
