On the Utility of Spectral-Maximum- Based Automated Thread Counting from X-Radiographs of Paintings on Canvas
Manual thread counting is possible from the weave pattern visible at sufficient enlargement of the intensity pattern in an X-radiograph of a painting on canvas. a recently introduced algorithm [1] for automated thread counting relies upon the topography of the twodimensional Fourier transform of the X-radiograph. (For a description of the two-dimensional Fourier transform see the appendix.) a p...
متن کاملInterpreting Canvas Weave Matches
Automatic methods of calculating canvas thread counts from x-rays of paintings reveal a systematic pattern for warp and weft thread densities that persists along the respective thread directions. These patterns can be used to find paintings that have matching weave patterns, with warp-thread pattern matches more prevalent than weft-thread matches when trying to associate paintings to the same c...
متن کاملDo Weave Matches Imply Canvas Roll Matches?
Computational algorithms for measuring thread counts from scanned x-rays produce warp and weft thread count “maps” across entire paintings. Within the database of over 300 van Gogh paintings, we found a clique of 44 warp-weave-matched paintings. By reconstructing the smallest canvas section that could have produced this match, they must span the entire width of a commercial canvas roll (2+ mete...
متن کاملWeave analysis of paintings on canvas from radiographs
A spectral algorithm is described for measuring from radiographs the weaving densities of the horizontal and vertical threads that comprise a painting’s canvas. A framework for relating spectra to canvas weave type is presented. The so-called thread density and angle maps obtained from the algorithm reveal the canvas’s distinctive density variations and provide insights into how the canvas was ...
متن کاملDetecting and counting vehicles using adaptive background subtraction and morphological operators in real time systems
vehicle detection and classification of vehicles play an important role in decision making for the purpose of traffic control and management.this paper presents novel approach of automating detecting and counting vehicles for traffic monitoring through the usage of background subtraction and morphological operators. We present adaptive background subtraction that is compatible with weather and ...
