Abstract

In this paper, a novel hyperspectral image acquisition system able to obtain a set of narrowband images (~2,25 nm of bandwidth) and the related composition of monochrome images in the near-infrared is described. The aim of this system is to discriminate the materials by their optical spectral response in the range of 900-1700 nm. This system has been developed in the framework of a collaborative project that includes the improvement of the automatic composition of reflectographic mosaics in order to study the underdrawing of large formats big artworks in real-time. The main features of this project are detailed in this paper. Furthermore, a few enlightening results of the hyperspectral system and new lines of research are shown.
