Fluorescence lidar imaging of historical monuments

Abstract: What is believed to be the first fluorescence imaging of the facades of a historical building, which was accomplished with a scanning fluorescence lidar system, is reported. The mobile system was placed at a distance of ϳ60 m from the medieval Lund Cathedral ͑Sweden͒, and a 355-nm pulsed laser beam was swept over the stone facades row by row while spectrally resolved fluorescence signals of each measurement point were recorded. By multispectral image processing, either by formation of simple spectralband ratio… Show more

“…1 The differential absorption lidar ͑DIAL͒ technique is a unique tool for three-dimensional mapping and total flux measurements of gaseous air pollutants, [1][2][3][4] and the fluorescence lidar technique is a powerful means for the monitoring of the surface of the sea, 5,6 of terrestrial vegetation, 7 and of the weathered facades of historical buildings and monuments. 8,9 Whereas the distributed scattering along the laser beam is analyzed at selected wavelengths in atmospheric lidar research, the spectral contents in the fluorescence echo from topographic targets are utilized in the fluorescence lidar approach. The equations describing the phenomena have been discussed, e.g., in Ref.…”

“…Examples of standard applications are the mapping of aerosols [33], clouds [34], temperature [35], and wind speed [36] in the atmosphere. Lidar is also used for gas concentration measurements [37][38][39] and fluorescence studies of, e.g., aerosols [40] and hard targets such as buildings, water compounds, and plants [41,42]. The technique is well documented, and overviews can be found in e.g., [43,44].…”
