Renaissance painting from the early 15th to the mid-16th centuries originated in the area of present-day Italy. Inspired by the works of ancient Greece and Rome, artists produced painting based on topographic observation and the idealistic body proportion. Most of the paintings depict the human figure in perfect shape.

This work investigates pattern recognition techniques that can be used to identify the author of fine art paintings. The methodology proposed consists of four sequential phases: image acquisition, segmentation, feature extraction, and classification. Brushstrokes are segmented assuming that hue is uniform within a single brushstroke. Using a wavelet-based technique, textures are measured and us...

This demonstration challenges the conventional art experience. It brings together the fields of art, science, and software integration. The goal was to create a new kind of painting based on embedded technology, experimenting with a new media: paintings augmented with RFIDs. The aim was to achieve interaction between the artist's paintings and art gallery visitors.

To generate a model of mammalian karyotype evolution and to extend our knowledge of the evolutionary relationships of mammals, it is helpful to deduce ancestral chromosomal arrangements. Of particular interest would be a global comparison among the 3 major extant groups of mammals, since this would reveal the most ancient arrangements of the mammalian genome and allow us to follow chromosomal r...

all forms of creative production born of an intimate and individual urge, often secretive, unbound from the conventional art system rules. Through short descriptions of the Outsider art work of prominent artists and new protagonists often hosted in community mental health services, this section intends to investigate the latest developments of the contemporary art scene, where the distances bet...

We present CoolPaint, a system for computer painting that uses a props-based direct interaction technique. By instrumenting real paint brushes and developing corresponding digital models of the brushes, we allow the user to control digital tools by directly manipulating their physical counterparts. In addition, we use a tabletop display which allows the display space and interaction space to be...

The development of 24-colour fluorescence in situ hybridisation (FISH) has led to significant advances in cytogenetic research and offers the potential for automated karyotypic analysis. However, these techniques are not in routine research or clinical use because of limitations in methods of probe preparation. This article presents new probe construction protocols and strategies for multiple-c...

hahve khane painting is influenced by naghali (narration) due to the atmosphere of narrating religious and mythical narration stories. examination of sound and illustration adaptation in this type of painting, considering the influence of naghali on ghahve khane painting, is the subject of this research. ghahve khane painting is divided into three categories by content: “martial”, “religious”, ...

The images: can we picture to ourselves, when we hear of a plurality of images, not a collection of discrete individual images but an abundance unsurveyable and without internal di!erentiation? Just as one hears in so many languages of the waters: die Wässer, les eaux. . . . In the "ux of experience it may be no more possible to isolate a singular “image” than it is to isolate a singular “water...
