In this paper, a novel hyperspectral image acquisition system able to obtain a set of narrowband images (~2,25 nm of bandwidth) and the related composition of monochrome images in the near-infrared is described. The aim of this system is to discriminate the materials by their optical spectral response in the range of 900-1700 nm. This system has been developed in the framework of a collaborative project that includes the improvement of the automatic composition of reflectographic mosaics in order to study the underdrawing of large formats big artworks in real-time. The main features of this project are detailed in this paper. Furthermore, a few enlightening results of the hyperspectral system and new lines of research are shown.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
