BackgroundBackground
• 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.

Camera SetupCamera Setup
• Monochrome CCD camera
• Ultraviolet Black Light (Blue light)
• Tungsten Light Source
• Infrared Filter
Important that images
are in registration.

IlluminationIllumination
• Three types– Ultraviolet– Visible– Infrared

Ultraviolet IlluminationUltraviolet Illumination
• Ultraviolet Illumination– New Varnish– Over-painting

Visible IlluminationVisible Illumination
• Topographical Inspection– Canvas Repair– Buckling of Canvas– Over-painting

Infrared IlluminationInfrared Illumination
• Infrared filter is presented to the system.– Under-drawing– Areas that are not present in the UV and VIS.

Flat FieldingFlat Fielding
• Procedure taking a non-uniformly illuminated image and resulting in an evenly 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.

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.

ConclusionConclusion
• Research proved to be successful.
• 2-D Segmentation provides art conservator’s with a tool to validate their discoveries.
