Cultural heritage destruction: Documenting parchment degradation via multispectral imaging
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper describes the methodology and presents preliminary results of a project using multispectral imaging to document the deterioration of parchment. A series of treatments has been applied to degrade samples from a deaccessioned manuscript using both physical and chemical agents. Each sample is photographed before and after the treatment by a multispectral imaging system to record the effect of the treatments on both the writing and the parchment. Here we present the initial imaging of the samples, and we show how some of the agents affect the writing and parchment.

Microorganisms can be responsible for the destruction of cultural heritage, together with several environmental conditions, ageing and the chemical structure of substrate. There is a number of reviews giving a comprehensive picture of the role of microorganisms in the degradation of art objects, such as paintings, stone, wood, paper, masonry, leather, parchment, glass and metal (Bock and Sand, ...
متن کاملDevelopment of a technique based on multi-spectral imaging for monitoring the conservation of cultural heritage objects.
A new approach for monitoring the state of conservation of cultural heritage objects surfaces is being developed. The technique utilizes multi-spectral imaging, multivariate analysis and statistical process control theory for the automatic detection of a possible deterioration process, its localization and identification, and the wavelengths most sensitive to detecting this before the human eye...
متن کاملIntegration of 3D and multispectral data for cultural heritage applications: Survey and perspectives
Cultural heritage is increasingly put through imaging systems such as multispectral cameras and 3D scanners. Though these acquisition systems are often used independently, they collect complementary information (spectral vs. spatial) used for the study, archiving and visualization of cultural heritage. Recording 3D and multispectral data in a single coordinate system enhances the potential insi...
متن کاملMultispectral Imaging of Degraded Parchment
Multispectral imaging was employed to collect data on the degradation of an 18 century parchment by a series of physical and chemical treatments. Each sample was photographed before and after treatment by a monochrome digital camera with 21 narrow-band filters, with the objective of assessing algorithms for recovery of text from the images. A template-matching technique was used to detect the c...

This paper presents a discussion on different techniques that can be used for the analysis of multispectral images (i.e., images taken in more than three spectral bands) that are acquired in the context of Cultural Heritage or Archaeological studies. False Color imaging, Blind Source Separation methods and techniques based on the use of Artificial Neural Networks are discussed. Examples are pre...
