3D Thermal Mapping of Architectural Heritage

The combination of thermographic and geometric recording has always been an issue for architectural heritage diagnostic investigations. Multidisciplinary projects often require integrating multi-sensor information—including metric temperature data—to extract valid conclusions regarding the state-of-preservation historical buildings. Towards this direction, recent technological advancements in cameras three-dimensional (3D) documentation instrumentation software have contributed significantly, assisting rapid creation detailed 3D thermal-textured results, which can be exploited non-destructive diagnostical surveys. This paper aims to briefly review evaluate current workflows modeling, implement state-of-the-art sensing procedures processing techniques, while also presenting some applications on case studies significant value help discuss problems identify topics relevant future research.
