Mission and Scope
UNVEIL is a Marie Skłodowska-Curie Doctoral Network linking 21 academic, cultural, and industrial partners to develop advanced nondestructive evaluation and data-driven digital tools for paintings and 3D artworks. The goal is to understand how objects are built and age and to support conservation, restoration, and authentication—while training 12 doctoral researchers across engineering and the humanities.
Approach and Impact
We combine terahertz, ultrasound, infrared thermography, hyperspectral/multispectral, and X-ray imaging with multimodal data fusion, interactive visualisation, and digital twins. Results are validated on mock-ups and artworks, showcased via AR exhibits at partner museums, and shared openly (data, software, DTs) through European platforms.
