This project proposes an innovative and noninvasive method for characterizing material thickness, which will allow for more effective conservation and restoration of heritage assets. Currently, damage assessment is primarily based on visual observation, which limits the detection of deterioration in its early stages, when it is not yet perceptible to the naked eye.
Thanks to the use of advanced optical tools, early detection of alterations is achieved, thus improving the protection and preservation of heritage. The study of the spectral properties of materials and the precise calculation of deterioration factors related to radiation exposure allow the development of lighting models that minimize damage. This approach is especially relevant for delicate works such as tapestries, whose conservation requires rigorous control of display conditions.
