Computer-assisted Infrared Analysis of Heterogeneous Works of Art

In this paper a simple elaboration of the infrared spectra of heterogeneous materials is outlined. The data processing method, based on the least-squares solution of overdetermined systems, allows the semiquantitative analysis of mixtures in terms of the spectra of their components. An application of the data processing logic to a twoand threecomponents mixture is shown, but the method can be a...

We believe each hospital should enhance the lives of patients, visitors, and staff by including works of art. Works of art cost money, yet money spent on contemporary works provides employment for painters, sculptors, and craftsmen and also for the manufacturers...

Easy Access to Huge 3D Models of Works of Art

Automatic shape acquisition technologies evolved rapidly in recent years, and huge mass of 3D data can be easily produced. The high accuracy of range scanning technology makes the Cultural Heritage domain one of the ideal fields of use of these devices. Given this particular application domain, two issues arise: how to visualize at interactive rates these complex data on commodity computers (bo...
