Item Iluminar obras de arte mejorando la conservación. El proyecto Zeus(2015) Benítez, Anton J.; Vázquez Moliní, Daniel; Álvarez Fernández-Balbuena, AntonioLa iluminación de obras de arte se enfrenta al reto de resultar adecuada para la exhibición y de minimizar en lo posible los daños a la superficie y los materiales que las componen. En esta encrucijada, en la que la investigación es imprescindible tanto en tecnología como acerca de la recepción por parte del público, el proyecto Zeus trata de obtener una precisa información sobre el color de la obra, y trasladarla a un modelo de iluminación individualizado punto a punto, que permite simular condiciones precisas y compensar efectos indeseables del deterioro, minimizando la luz absorbida por la obra.Item Chromatic perception of non-invasive lighting of cave paintings(Proceedings of SPIE, 2009) Zoido Chamorro, Jesús Manuel; Vázquez Moliní, Daniel; Álvarez Fernández-Balbuena, Antonio; Bernabeu Martínez, Eusebio; García Botella, Ángel; Herráenz Ferreiro, Juan Antonio; Egido Rodríguez, Marian, delThis work is intended to deal with the problems which arise when illuminanting Paleolithic cave paintings. We have carried out the spectral and colorimetric characterization of some paintings located in the Murcielagos (bats) cave (Zuheros, Córdoba, Spain). From this characterization, the chromatic changes produced under different lighting conditions are analysed. The damage function is also computed for the different illuminants used. From the results obtained, it is proposed an illuminant whose spectral distribution diminishes the damage by minimizing the absorption of radiation and optimises the color perception of the paintings in this cave. The procedure followed in this study can be applied to optimise the lighting systems used when illuminating any other art work.Item Energy optimization of a light projection system for buildings that virtually restores artworks(Digital Applications in Archaeology and Cultural Heritage, 2019) Vázquez Molini, Daniel; Álvarez Fernández-Balbuena, Antonio; Canabal Boutureira, Héctor Alfonso; Muro, Carmen; Durmus, D.; Davis, W.; Benítez Iglesias, Antonio Jesús; Mayorga Pinilla, SantiagoThe need to achieve energy efficiency standards in the lighting systems of buildings makes it necessary to optimize all aspects of them. Here, the development of a light projection system that achieves this goal by studying and modifying the spectral output, compared to conventional illumination, is described. A lighting system that estimates the reflectance characteristics of artwork and emits optimized lighting can reduce light absorption. A damage-minimizing point-by-point light projection system is developed using an optimization algorithm, to improve the appearance of the surfaces of artworks whose color has faded. In this case, a simulation of an aged oil painting was made by manipulating the original photograph, which was printed and to which the proposed system was applied. The results show that, when the aged printed image is illuminated with the optimized light source, it appears indistinguishable from the non-aged oil painting.Item Point to point multispectral light projection applied to cultural heritage(Proceedings of SPIE, 2017) Vázquez Molini, Daniel; Álvarez Fernández-Balbuena, Antonio; Canabal Boutureira, Héctor Alfonso; García Botella, Ángel; Mayorga Pinilla, Santiago; Muro, Carmen; Galán Cañestro, María TeresaUse of new of light sources based on LED technology should allow the develop of systems that combine conservation and exhibition requirements and allow to make these art goods available to the next generations according to sustainability principles. The goal of this work is to develop light systems and sources with an optimized spectral distribution for each specific point of the art piece. This optimization process implies to maximize the color fidelity reproduction and the same time to minimize the photochemical damage. Perceived color under these sources will be similar (metameric) to technical requirements given by the restoration team uncharged of the conservation and exhibition of the goods of art. Depending of the fragility of the exposed art objects (i.e. spectral responsivity of the material) the irradiance must be kept under a critical level. Therefore, it is necessary to develop a mathematical model that simulates with enough accuracy both the visual effect of the illumination and the photochemical impact of the radiation. Spectral reflectance of a reference painting The mathematical model is based on a merit function that optimized the individual intensity of the LED-light sources taking into account the damage function of the material and color space coordinates. Moreover the algorithm used weights for damage and color fidelity in order to adapt the model to a specific museal application. In this work we show a sample of this technology applied to a picture of Sorolla (1863-1923) an important Spanish painter title “woman walking at the beach”.Item Optical Technologies Applied to Cultural Heritage(Heritage, 2022) Vázquez Moliní, Daniel; Álvarez Fernández-Balbuena, Antonio
