Potential and contemporary laser applications with parallel techniques in the processes of monitoring, protection and restoration of cultural heritage objects

Abstract

Laser applications in processes of monitoring, protection, restoration and cleaning of the objects of cultural heritage still attract attention, inspite of relatively long tradition. Although numerous mutual problems are resolved, each precious object of cultural heritage isunique and needs specific characterization before exact laser operation. Contemporary generation of laser scanners along with competitive techniques accelerated the processes of data collecting and storing in the form of 3D digital models, irreplaceable in modern informative space.
