Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Methods of measurement, diagnostics and the monitoring of cultural heritage objects are becoming increasingly necessary. The data obtained are used to make the right decisions related to conservation interventions and daily treatment. The diversification of materials and surface characteristics means that there is a need for the continuous development of new measurement methods and their applications in sensors. It is also often necessary to use several measurement methods in order to obtain full information about the object. In the case of repeated measurements, the development of a spatial data integration solution is required, as well as a quantitative and qualitative analyses over time. An important aspect is also the visualization of results presenting key information in a readable manner for inexperienced users. Modern sensors for cultural heritage integrate physical measurement methods and advanced data processing algorithms.

Submitted papers can address the development of single or multimodal measurement techniques, the analysis of data from sensors, aspects of diagnostics and the monitoring specific objects or groups of objects. We particularly encourage submissions that include demonstrations of actual applications in the field or prototypes that resemble a realistic scenario.

Manuscript Submission Information

Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.

Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Sensors is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.

Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2600 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.

The deployment of sensors is the first issue encountered when microclimate monitoring is planned in spaces devoted to the conservation of artworks. Sometimes, the first decision regarding the position of sensors may not be suitable for characterising the microclimate close to climate-sensitive artworks or should be revised in light of new circumstances. This paper fits into this context by proposing a rational approach for a posteriori deployment of microclimate sensors in museums where long-term temperature and relative humidity observations were available (here, the Rosenborg Castle, Copenhagen, Denmark). Different statistical tools such as box-and-whisker plots, principal component analysis (PCA) and cluster analysis (CA) were used to identify microclimate patterns, i.e., similarities of indoor air conditions among rooms. Box-and-whisker plots allowed us to clearly identify one microclimate pattern in two adjoining rooms located in the basement. Multivariate methods (PCA and CA) enabled us to identify further microclimate patterns by grouping not only adjoining rooms but also rooms located on different floors. Based on these outcomes, new configurations about the deployment of sensors were proposed aimed at avoiding redundant sensors and collecting microclimate observations in other sensitive locations of this museum.

Raman spectroscopy (RS) is a powerful non-invasive tool for the characterization of materials. However, the fluorescence effect often hampers the detectability of the relatively weak vibrational Raman signal. Several approaches were exploited to overcome this limit. This work, in particular, evaluates the performance of an in situ portable sequentially shifted excitation (SSE™) Raman spectrometer applied to the examination of artistic historical pigment powders enclosed in glass vials. The explored handheld spectrometer employs a dual, temperature-shifted, 785 nm and 852 nm laser excitation to optimize both spectral coverage and fluorescence subtraction. The study demonstrates the feasibility of the SSE RS approach for non-invasive identification of art materials, and its applicability in complex situations where the examined material cannot be removed from its container. Laboratory measurements using benchtop dispersive micro-Raman spectroscopy at 785 nm are reported for comparison. Full article

This paper presents the results of a complex three-dimensional reconstruction of the church of Nuestra Señora de la Asunción (Ávila, Spain) as an example of a successful process of verticalization from point clouds to a comprehensive computer-aided design (CAD) model. The reconstruction was carried out using the novel and advanced wearable mobile mapping system ZEB-REVO in combination with a lifting pole, in order to cover the whole geometry of the temple and, also, to model the different constructive elements. To this end, a set of good practices was followed, which allowed for passing from reality to the CAD model, such as the use of closed loops or even the use of different parametric and non-parametric strategies to capture the real geometry of the elements. As a result, this paper outlines the main guidelines for passing from point clouds to comprehensive CAD models, the former being useful for the application of smart preventive conservation processes, heritage building information models or even advanced numerical simulations.
