Reconstructing the coloration of historical art and making it visually perceivable: The EU-funded PERCEIVE research project has been set up to develop a new method for appreciating, exhibiting and researching centuries-old works of art. Acting in the capacity of scientific-technical coordinator, Fraunhofer IGD is providing support to the project with the development of an artificial intelligence (AI) software package, which traces the changes that have taken place in coloration over the centuries and produces a model for the future. The research project was officially launched at a two-day event hosted by the National Archaeological Museum in Naples, with all the project partners coming together for coordination of their input. Within the next three years, various tools and related AI services should become available for museum curators and art historians to use in their everyday work.
