The processes of cultural heritage sites’ degradation reveal interactions between the chemical characteristics of the substrates, the underlying substrate penetration, and the microbiota systems. Microorganisms penetrate the stone, causing extensive disaggregation of the materials. This chapter reveals comparative studies between the usual research approaches applied in biodegradation studies, especially optical microscopy, epifluorescence, and electron microscopy (SEM). These in situ microscopy techniques propose some complex analyses for the evaluation of the relationship between the microorganism’s cells and the stone surfaces (adherence, interactions), and also for the evaluation of the level of health or balance of the niche complex, from mesoscale to microscale. The stages of the exact monitoriza-tion and evaluation of lithotypes and deterioration phenomena are periodical sampling and monument mapping. The aim of this chapter is to identify microscopical methods used in biodegradation studies, especially the facilities provided by these methods. Our in situ analysis (light microscopy, epifluorescence, and scanning electron microscopy) performed for the first time on the painted Matia-Fresco Loggia (Corvin Castle, Romania) highlighted several aspects, such as mixtures of mineral elements with different chromatic appearance and porosity, shredding degradation, depigmented areas, cracked portions, and highly biota activity (bacterial and fungal) on painted surface.

Assembly, dated IX–XI centuries is located in a hill of chalk cliff into a Roman career style, with churches, galleries branched vaults, housing the tombs [1]. Facings are inscribed with symbolic designs and different scenes and a large number of inscriptions. Some of these are palaeoslavonic and Cyrillic and some are written in Glagolitic or in Greek, but mostly in an enigmatic writing that could not be decoded so far [2, 3] (Figure 1).

This chapter describes how optical information and advanced image processing can be used to study archeological objects and artworks in order to determine more precisely and noninvasively the characteristics of the shape and color of artifacts. The purpose of this research is to develop a passive experimental technique for artifact investigation to help human experts make the best decisions in the process of authenticating and preserving-restoring objects. The method used is digital capture of object images followed by processing them with specialized software tools to analyze the chromatic characteristics and apparent geometric details. The proposed methodology consists of intelligently combining digital image analysis functions to build a set of chromatic-structural features useful for recognizing possible differences and estimating color and shape evolution. The investigation of the artifacts through digital image processing is a noninvasive and precise complementary method of analysis that can reduce the costs, and it must be extensively integrated into decision support systems for experts and curators in the field of artistic heritage preservation.

Augmented Reality (AR) is considered as one of the most significant technologies in the field of computer graphics and is utilized for many applications. In this paper, we have presented a comprehensive survey for cultural heritage using Augmented Reality systems. This survey describes the main objectives and characteristics of Marker-less Augmented Reality Systems through presenting up-to-date research results in this area. We describe the marker-less technologies in the area of AR, indoor marker-less AR, outdoor marker-less AR, real-time solutions to the tracking problem, real-time registration, cultural heritage in AR, 3D remonstration techniques, as well as presenting the problems in each research.

Modern society is characterized by the desire for information saturation. The range of cultural and historical material from which art history excursions are drawn is truly boundless. Meanwhile, if we compare the number of excursions with all their well-thought-out structure, excursions of an art criticism will undoubtedly turn out to be a clear minority. In the fields of the excursion scenario, there are sometimes question marks left by the tourists. Art objects have their own criteria, specifics and features. To understand them and to comprehend them at the scientific and theoretical level is an actual task for art critics and critics themselves. This chapter highlights the problems of modern excursion work as a form of communication, which is a special system, the important elements of which are the author’s text, closely associated with the art criticism and the display of works of art in museums and in open spaces.
