Art restoration takes steady hands and a discerning eye. For centuries, conservators have restored paintings by identifying areas needing repair, then mixing an exact shade to fill in one area at a time. Often, a painting can have thousands of tiny regions requiring individual attention. Restoring a single painting can take anywhere from a few weeks to over a decade.

Intensity interferometry is a promising technique that enables the precise measurement of spatial properties (i.e., distances, shapes and light properties) by probing fluctuations in the intensity (i.e., brightness) of light, as opposed to the exact timing and phase of light waves probed by amplitude (phase) interferometry. Intensity interferometry could overcome some of the limitations of amplitude interferometry, as it is less sensitive to atmospheric factors and optical imperfections.
