Non-Destructive Methodologies and Adapted Signal Processing Techniques in the Field of Cultural Heritage

This book presents signal processing techniques for analyzing data produced by non-destructive testing methods in conservation science. It explores the complementarity of these techniques in examining art objects, including electromagnetic and mechanical wave-based methods with varying resolutions and penetration depths. The authors also propose a model for integrating multidisciplinary information, supported by real-case reference objects. This book is a valuable resource for professionals in signal processing, cultural heritage, and conservation science.
