Conservation of Paper Documents Damaged by Foxing
نویسندگان
چکیده
Within foxings, the paper is weaker, more acidic, and more friable than outside of them. Foxings can appear because of iron oxidation or due to the influence of microorganisms. At present, the nature of foxings is still under discussion. The chemical composition and structure of foxings are insufficiently characterized. Moreover, these processes can vary depending on external conditions and the original composition of the paper. The main goal of researchers and restorers is to find methods for prevention and slowing of the paper damage and oxidative destruction. The solution of this problem will make possible to save unique artworks, rare old books and documents.

"Foxing" in vintage photographs: Detection and removal
In this paper a new algorithm to digitally restore vintage photographic prints affected by the ”foxing” defect is proposed. The algorithm is composed of several automatic and consecutive steps where detection of damaged areas is coupled with removal methods. The restoration algorithms are based on an inpainting technique and on an additive/multiplicative model. The first one replaces the lost d...
متن کاملTechnique to correct yellowing and foxing in antique books
New algorithms for the automatic restoration of antique documents affected by foxing and by yellowing deterioration processes are proposed in the paper. The physical restoration of such objects is both expensive and hard to carry out by nonspecialised library personnel. The proposed algorithms ensure fast and less expensive results, and can be used also by nonqualified operators. Moreover, thes...

متن کاملVisual enhancement of old documents with hyperspectral imaging
Hyperspectral imaging (HSI) of historical documents is becoming more common at national libraries and archives. HSI is useful for many tasks related to document conservation and management as it provides detailed quantitative measurements of the spectral reflectance of the document that is not limited to the visible spectrum. In this paper, we focus on how to use the invisible spectra, most not...
متن کاملAmid the possible causes of a very famous foxing: molecular and microscopic insight into Leonardo da Vinci's self‐portrait
Leonardo da Vinci's self-portrait is affected by foxing spots. The portrait has no fungal or bacterial infections in place, but is contaminated with airborne spores and fungal material that could play a role in its disfigurement. The knowledge of the nature of the stains is of great concern because future conservation treatments should be derived from scientific investigations. The lack of reli...
