New pipeline enhances thermographic anomaly detection for heritage sites

Researchers have developed a new pipeline to improve the accuracy of thermographic anomaly detection in cultural heritage digital twins. This method corrects per-pixel emissivity, which is crucial for accurate temperature retrieval on heterogeneous surfaces. The pipeline utilizes SAM 3.1 for segmentation and a material-keyed emissivity table, significantly reducing mean absolute error on synthetic benchmarks and real-world datasets. However, the correction's impact is noted to be small on typical weathered heritage surfaces, with its effectiveness concentrated on genuine low-emissivity exceptions. AI

IMPACT Improves accuracy in digital twin creation for cultural heritage, potentially aiding preservation efforts.

    Material-Segmented Per-Pixel Emissivity Correction for Thermographic Anomaly Detection in Cultural Heritage Digital Twins

    arXiv:2608.02964v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Quantitative longwave thermography of heritage surfaces is limited by the global-constant emissivity assumption in inverse-Planck temperature retrieval; on heterogeneous surfaces emissivity varies within one field of view, producing…
