Loggia dei Lanzi: AI Thermography Enhancement Comparisons through 3D Photogrammetry
The Loggia dei Lanzi in the Piazza della Signoria is one of Florence's most prominent structures visited by millions every year. Its construction history spans multiple centuries of modification. This paper presents the results of a thermal imaging campaign conducted in December 2025, using a FLIR T1020 HD camera, revealing hidden architectural features including walled-up openings and material transitions beneath the plaster surface. The favorable winter ambient conditions provided a feature-rich benchmark upon which to compare the results of enhancement algorithms and artificial intelligence models. We evaluate the application of AI-based image enhancement to thermal heritage documentat...
