Metric Options: Counts1 Year3 YearSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Article Description
Infrared thermography is a cost-effective non-destructive evaluation technique that plays a critical role in extracting information about defects in cultural heritage such as works of art. However, in-depth studies on the internal structure of contemporary artworks using infrared thermography remain lacking, and therefore, a deep convolutional autoencoder thermography (DCAT) data analysis method is proposed for defect detection of contemporary artworks. In the proposed method, original data are enhanced by convolution to reduce the noise and inhomogeneous background in the original thermal images; subsequently, a deep autoencoder is used to extract nonlinear features from the enhanced thermographic data, and the results of the hidden layer are visualised. These visualised images highlight information regarding the internal structure and defects of the artwork. The case study on a handmade replica of Picasso’s ‘La Bouteille de Suze’, reproduced exactly as the original, has shown that DCAT significantly improved the accuracy of defect detection when compared with that of commonly used methods.
