The US Army NVESD has been developing high performance hyperspectral sensors for Army missions for decades. During that time, a partnership was established with the National Gallery of Art to leverage these high value HSI instruments for the characterization and conservation of Masterworks. Works by Picasso, Rembrandt, Van Gogh, Matisse, and many others have been imaged and the resulting data has assisted in their understanding and continued conservation for future generations to enjoy. In this talk, a series of examples from this collaboration are presented, along with some of the lessons learned when using remote sensing equipment for close range, static, indoor imaging.
