Columbano's painting accordingly to its paintboxes

Feature Allocations, Probability Functions, and Paintboxes

The problem of inferring a clustering of a data set has been the subject of much research in Bayesian analysis, and there currently exists a solid mathematical foundation for Bayesian approaches to clustering. In particular, the class of probability distributions over partitions of a data set has been characterized in a number of ways, including via exchangeable partition probability functions ...

Contribution of the Microbial Communities Detected on an Oil Painting on Canvas to Its Biodeterioration

In this study, we investigated the microbial community (bacteria and fungi) colonising an oil painting on canvas, which showed visible signs of biodeterioration. A combined strategy, comprising culture-dependent and -independent techniques, was selected. The results derived from the two techniques were disparate. Most of the isolated bacterial strains belonged to related species of the phylum F...

A Quantitative Approach to Painting Styles

This research extends a method previously applied to music and philosophy [1], representing the evolution of art as a time-series where relations like dialectics are measured quantitatively. For that, a corpus of paintings of 12 well-known artists from baroque and modern art is analyzed. A set of 93 features is extracted and the features which most contributed to the classification of painters ...

Segmentation: painting stripes from flies to vertebrates.

Immersive Painting

This paper presents a human machine interface, which helps elderly people learn how to become aware of their physical state and how to influence it. One of the biggest requirements for such a system is to provide an intuitive interface which does not overexert an elderly person, while also being easily accepted. Here, the connection of art and computer science offers the ideal outlet for such a...
