Title of the lecture: Virtual Artwork Restoration using Image Processing
Keywords: cultural heritage preservation, digital image restoration, defect detection, image inpainting, machine learning tools
Summary: One of the major problems of the old artworks is their degradation due to aging. As a result, the digitized artworks images exhibit a series of defects. Whereas scientific methods were applied to the analysis and restoration of the priceless artworks for many decades, over recent years there has been an encouragement for the development of virtual artworks restoration tools, many of them using image processing techniques. The course explores a series of tools for defect detection and virtual restoration of digitized artwork images, and illustrate their application. We will explore unsupervised methods, shallow learning and deep learning approaches.
