Multifunctional encoding system for assessment of movable cultural heritage

Abstract

Implementation of non destructive and non contact holographic techniques is being exploited for providing responses of the artwork in the encoded form of fringe patterns. The parametrical usage of the fringe formation allows correlation to originality and impact versus time. Signatures of artwork are formed and if monitored over time provide impact and originality assessment. The paper refers to a European Commission funded research project during the 6th framework program with special task in impact assessment in movable cultural heritage. © 2009 Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg.
