Public Lectures

The talk will describe wavelets, a mathematical tool used for the analysis and compression of images (including for digital cinema), and how they have been used recently for the study of paintings by Van Gogh, Goossen van der Weyden, Gauguin, Giotto and others. The presentation describes image processing tools used to decide whether a painting is an original, or whether several parts of a painting were painted by the same person—or not.
