Algorithms for Old Master painting canvas thread counting from x-rays

A.G. Klein, D.H. Johnson, W.A. Sethares, H. Lee, C.R. Johnson, E. Hendriks
2008 2008 42nd Asilomar Conference on Signals, Systems and Computers  
Because of the way paintings were commonly prepared and preserved, the threads in the horizontal and vertical directions in the canvas support can be counted from x-ray images of the painting.  ...  The task of determining the weave density in the canvas support of Old Master paintings is introduced as a period extraction problem.  ...  ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS The authors would like to thank the Van Gogh Museum for making the digital x-ray images available.  ...

A thread counting algorithm for art forensics

D.H. Johnson, C.R. Johnson, A.G. Klein, W.A. Sethares, H. Lee, E. Hendriks
2009 2009 IEEE 13th Digital Signal Processing Workshop and 5th IEEE Signal Processing Education Workshop  
Thread counting algorithms seek to determine the vertical and horizontal weave densities of the canvas underlying a painting. X-ray images of a painting serve as the raw data.  ...  The actual painting serves as an additive signal that only distracts from the thread-counting process. The algorithm employs a variant of short-time Fourier analysis to the image domain.  ...  THE CANVAS THREAD COUNTING PROBLEM To investigate the history and authenticity of paintings by the great masters, signal processing algorithms can provide new insights [1, 2] .  ...

Signal processing and analyzing works of art

Don H. Johnson, C. Richard Johnson, Jr., Ella Hendriks, Andrew G. Tescher
2010 Applications of Digital Image Processing XXXIII  
Our work develops algorithms to examine x-ray images of paintings, not to analyze the artist's brushstrokes but to characterize the weave of the canvas that supports the painting.  ...  In examining paintings, art historians use a wide variety of physico-chemical methods to determine, for example, the paints, the ground (canvas primer) and any underdrawing the artist used.  ...  ACKNOWLEDGMENTS The authors thank the many museums that contributed to the database of scanned x-ray images of van Gogh's paintings.  ...

Weave analysis of paintings on canvas from radiographs

Don H. Johnson, C. Richard Johnson, Robert G. Erdmann
2013 Signal Processing  
A spectral algorithm is described for measuring from radiographs the weaving densities of the horizontal and vertical threads that comprise a painting's canvas.  ...  Examples drawn from the paintings by Vincent van Gogh illustrate the algorithms.  ...  Travel grants from the National Science Foundation (CCF-1048344 to DHJ, CCF-1048352 to CRJ) also supported the research.  ...

On the Utility of Spectral-Maximum-Based Automated Thread Counting from X-Radiographs of Paintings on Canvas

Richard C. Johnson, Don H. Johnson, Naoto Hamashima, Heui Sung Yang, Ella Hendriks
2011 Studies in Conservation  
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS the authors are grateful to the following museums for access to the X-radiographs of their paintings used in this study: van gogh Museum, Museum of Modern  ...  in addition to the interference of the artist-applied paint, inappropriate X-ray exposures and canvas deterioration also inhibit thread counting.  ...  INTRODUCTION 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  ...
