Subsurface defect characterization in artworks by quantitative PPT and holographic interferometry
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this study, experimental data from two artwork specimens was acquired and processed by pulsed phase thermography (PPT) and holographic interferometry. The first specimen was a wood painting with a variety of damages typical of this kind of pieces. A comparative study between thermography and interferometry results showed the potential complementarities of both techniques. The second inspected specimen was a fresco with fabricated inserts inspected by PPT to detect and characterize the subsurface defects. The well-known concept of Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR) is proposed for the selection of the proper phasegram frequency at which defect sizing is performed. A de-noising step was required prior to the application of the Canny edge detection algorithm. It is demonstrated with this investigation that PPT and holographic interferometry are valuable tools for the qualitative and quantitative assessment of artworks.

متن کاملA hybrid pulsed thermography processing technique for the depth estimation of subsurface defects combining TSR and PPT
A hybrid approach, combining thermographic signal reconstruction (TSR) and pulsed phase thermography (PPT), is proposed and tested for the depth estimation of subsurface defects from pulsed thermographic data. First, TSR is used to obtain the polynomial coefficients from raw data. A synthetic thermogram sequence is then reconstructed from the obtained coefficients. Finally, quantitative PPT is ...
متن کاملPhase-shifting real-time holographic interferometry that uses bismuth silicon oxide crystals.
A bismuth silicon oxide crystal is used in the diffusion regime as a dynamic recording medium in a real-time holographic interferometer based on anisotropic self-diffraction. This device is connected with an interferogram-analysis method that uses the phase-shifting technique for quantitative measurement of diffusive-reflecting object deformations. In addition to the usual error sources in phas...
