Brown University | An ICERM Public Lecture: Mathematicians Helping Art Historians and Art Conservators @brownuniversity | Uploaded May 2024 | Updated October 2024, 1 hour ago.
In recent years, mathematical algorithms have helped the art historians and art conservators putting together fragments of world-famous frescos by Andrea Mantegna classify certain paintings as “roll mates,” remove artifacts in preparation for a restoration campaign, and gain insight into the hidden paintings underneath visible ones.
This lecture with Dr. Ingrid Daubechies reviews these applications and gives a glimpse into the mathematical aspects that make them possible.
Ingrid Daubechies earned her Ph.D. in Theoretical Physics from Vrije Universiteit Brussel. She currently holds the title of James B. Duke Professor of Mathematics and Electrical and Computer Engineering at Duke University. Her academic work focuses on mathematical methods for the analysis of signals, images, and data; with applications in many directions.
