Abstract
The paper addresses the problem of optical evaluation of silver coins plasma cleaning quality using statistical methods
applied to images - a topic of interest in numismatics as well as in general heritage objects rehabilitation. The purpose of
the paper is to present a new low-cost method to quantitatively evaluate the cleaning effect of plasma used for
decontamination, conservation and restoration of silver heritage objects.
Keywords
