Multi-Dimensional Analysis of An Oil Painting Center of Imaging Science Rochester Institute of Technology Pano Spiliotis May 7,1999
Overview • Background • Procedure • Results • Evaluation of data • Conclusion
Background • Multi-dimensional segmentation. • Using image capturing protocols and multi-dimensional segmentation, artifacts that are present in works of art will be easily identified. • New approach in finding artifacts in oil paintings.
Overview • Background • Procedure • Results • Evaluation of data • Conclusion
Camera Setup • Monochrome CCD camera • Ultraviolet Black Light (Blue light) • Tungsten Light Source • Infrared Filter Important that images are in registration.
Illumination • Three types • Ultraviolet • Visible • Infrared
Ultraviolet Illumination • Ultraviolet Illumination • New Varnish • Over-painting
Visible Illumination • Topographical Inspection • Canvas Repair • Buckling of Canvas • Over-painting
Infrared Illumination • Infrared filter is presented to the system. • Under-drawing • Areas that are not present in the UV and VIS.
Flat Fielding • Procedure taking a non-uniformly illuminated image and resulting in an evenly illuminated image. Flat-fielded image non-uniformly illuminated image
Image Segmentation • Looking for common areas. • Segmentation of a common area. • Trial and error. • Save common area as an image and pixel value.
Overview • Background • Procedure • Results • Evaluation of data • Conclusion
Results Visible image Infrared image Ultraviolet image
2-D Segmentation Program Visible Image Visible Image Infrared Image Infrared Image
Pseudo Coloring Visible Image Infrared Image
After Segmentation Visible Image Visible Image Infrared Image Infrared Image
Overview • Background • Procedure • Results • Evaluation of data • Conclusion
Evaluation of results • Areas that have been segmented reveal artifacts. • John Sutton, Associate Conservator from The West Lake Conservators, was called in to prove these findings. • The halo is not the original halo painted.
Conclusion • Research proved to be successful. • 2-D Segmentation provides art conservator’s with a tool to validate their discoveries.
