Painting Tools and Dataset
Processed paint samples, using the Kubelka-Munk model to compute reflection and the painting_tools package to display the RGB values. See the corresponding notebook to understand how these parameters were estimated.
This repository contains code and links to data for painting analysis using hyperspectral data. This data can be used in technical art history and computer graphics applications, for example for pigment mapping and spectral upsampling. Code and data for this type of research is often hard to find and we hope that sharing this repository contributes to open code and data in technical art history.
The accompaying data contains:
Hyperspectral scans of nine historical reconstructions by professional painters.
Hyperspectral scans of ten historical pigments in oilpaint.
Several painting stages of one of the captured paintings (Vermeer's Milkmaid).
For each scan, we provide:
Raw scan files from the Specim IQ hyperspectral scanner.
Code to process the raw files (i.e., stitching scans that were made in segments, reading out spectra from samples).
