Complementarity of terrestrial laser scanning and Ir thermograhy for the diagnosis of cultural Heritage: the case of Pacentro castle

This work deals with the combining of Terrestrial Laser Scanning (TLS) and the IR Thermography (IRT) techniques that are based on different principles, although information gathered from surveys can be merged for a wider knowledge on the health state of a building or a structure. The structure on which the measurement campaign has been performed is the Pacentro Castle, located in the Abruzzo Region (Italy). The two techniques let to identify critical and weak points of the structure, for possible future maintenance intervention.
