Real-Time Diagnosis of Historical Artworks by Laser-Induced Fluorescence

摘要

Laser-induced fluorescence (LIF) is a powerful remote analysis tool that has been successfully applied to the real-time diagnosis of historical artworks, allowing the observation of features invisible to the naked eye, as pigment composition, biological attack and restoration technique. This paper presents a LIF-based optical radar and reports on the results of its deployment during a field campaign conducted in February 2010 in Seville, Spain.
