Thermography Applied to Damage Diagnosis over Monuments and Ancient Constructions

Abstract

Thermography is a technique based on the detection of radiation emitted by bodies, converting the information obtained in images into information on the temperature of their surface. The reduction in cost of these cameras and their incorporation into drones, as an additional element, opens the doors to a very useful new microtechnology, which we can take advantage of to auscultate monuments and their constituent materials.
