Multiband Imaging Techniques for Cultural Heritage

The course will provide a broad overview of the main physical investigation techniques on Cultural Heritage with particular regard to dating with nuclear methods, non-destructive elemental analysis techniques, colorimetry and multiband imaging techniques.

At the end of the course the student will be able to move through the broad overview of the main physical investigation techniques on Cultural Heritage with particular regard to the nuclear physics bases for dating, to recognize the types of non-destructive techniques through the reading of graphs of different analyses. Finally He/She will have acquired the basics of colorimetry and imaging techniques with X-rays and IR radiation at different spectral bands.
