Over the last few years, there has been an increasing interest in the application of
photothermal techniques to the investigation of cultural heritage. Thanks to their peculiar …

In this work, we describe the growth of NaCl crystals by evaporating droplets of aqueous
solution while monitoring them with infrared thermography. Over the course of the …

The accumulation of salts in building stones can lead to weathering features such as
scaling, sanding or even slab detachment. To detect salts in walls at the early stages and to …

The reconstituted stone used in the Orval Abbey is highly susceptible to salt weathering. It
was produced from debris of natural stones (which were at that time in short supply) by …

Robotic devices that can perform teleoperation work in complex and unstructured
environments (eg healthcare, education, automotive, telepresence, defence, etc.) rely mainly …

Within the framework of conservation and assistance for the restoration of cultural property, a
method of analysis assistance has been developed to help in the restoration of cultural …

Infrared thermography has been widely used today for nondestructive evaluation and testing
of materials and other qualitative approaches. However, the field of thermography is much …

There have been several studies in using infrared thermography for nondestructive
evaluation and testing of materials. Some studies have explored the potential of using …

Within the framework of the cultural heritage conservation, stimulated infrared thermography
has already demonstrated its efficiency. However, sometimes, the different colors of the paint …

Active thermography was used as a multispectral non-destructive approach for
characterisation of multi-layered panel paintings and analysis of their defects caused by …
