Abstract(s)
The application of our research is in the art world where the scarcity of available analytical data from a particular artist or physical access for its acquisition is restricted. This poses a fundamental problem for the purpose of conservation, restoration or authentication of historical artworks. We address part of this problem by providing a practical method to generate hyperspectral data from readily available RGB imagery of artwork by means of a two-step process using deep neural networks. The particularities of our approach include the generation of learnable colour mixtures and reflectances from a reduced collection of prior data for the mapping and reconstruction of hyperspectral features on new images. Further analysis and correction of the prediction are achieved by a second network that reduces the error by producing results akin to those obtained by a hyperspectral camera. Our method has been used to study a collection of paintings by Amadeo de Souza-Cardoso where successful results were obtained.
