Abstract

During the EU IST project CRISATEL the consortium made around one hundred multispectral scans of paintings conserved in several museums. The high resolution images obtained allow us to not only have an accurate colour rendering but also to perform in depth quantitative scientific measurement on the colour structure of these works of art. One of these paintings in particular required special attention. It was Leonardo da Vinci’s “Mona Lisa”. In order to study it special GPU-based software was developed. In this paper we will present how GPU computation and computer vision can deliver the high performance and the analytic capability required to study complex works of art in a different and subtle way.
