In the Institute for the Study, Conservation and Restoration of Cultural Property, Nicolaus Copernicus University, Torun, in recent years research is conducted on the application of non-destructive methods for diagnosis of historic monuments. The research presented below is the first in Poland attempt of systematic application of thermovision and radar methods for the analysis of complex structures in mural paintings.The thermographic examination was performed on a laboratory model of architectural decoration, using thermographic cameras working in the near (NIR 0.8-1.5 µm) and far-infrared (LWIR 7-14 µm) and ground penetrating radar (GPR), equipped with a scanning aerial 0,9 and 2 GHz.The model of damaged and treated polychrome plasters was created specifically for the research work and it was prepared to resemble the situations occurring in historic structures.
