Creating a Material Spectral Library for Plaster and Mortar Material Determination

Historic object analysis and the knowledge of composition play an important role in restoration processes. Based on this information, restoration works are conducted. This paper introduces a non-invasive technique of plaster and mortar material decomposition using reflectance spectroscopy. For this...
