Monitoring of the visual arts degrade by means of the active vision system “3EYES”

Abstract

Monitoring of some physical characteristics (colour, geometry, size of fissures, ...) of object surfaces is of utmost importance in the field of conservation and restoration of work of arts. In order to get effective results a very high repeatability in the localization of the test points is required. At present, repositioning is a tricky task and is performed by means of manual empirical procedures which can be time consuming and expensive. In this short paper an application of the 3EYES active vision system to the automation of the monitoring is presented. An application of the system to object monitoring in laboratory environment is described.
