Mapping is essential to have a precise and readable reading of the elements we wish to highlight.
This technique allows:
- An identification and quantification of the alterations
- An identification of the constitutive elements
- An identification of the execution technique
Depending of the element to highlight, we use the image taken in direct light or under infrared. With the help of software and a graphic tablet, we can identify and quantify the desired elements in a visual way. By using different colors, transparencies, or patterns, we obtain a readable image we can then use for diagnosis and to choose a restoration protocol adapted to the specific needs of the work.
