Overview

Open-source software evaluates humidity-induced deformation in canvas paintings, suggesting a reliable cost-effective monitoring tool.

Key Points

  • The study aims to characterize the deformation response of hygroscopic canvas due to humidity changes.
  • Utilized Ncorr, an open-source MATLAB-based Digital Image Correlation software package.
  • Applied the software to measure deformation during drying of canvas after exposure to humidity and temperature changes.
  • Conducted a metrological evaluation to assess the methodological reliability and sensitivity.
  • Captured full-field deformation of the canvas, revealing shrinkage patterns along the frame and central contraction.
  • Identified orientation-dependent strain patterns that indicate complex deformation behaviors.
  • Confirmed methodological reliability and ability to detect subtle mechanical changes below conservation thresholds.
