Rectification of documentary photographs for art collections
In museums and art collections, thousands of artworks have been documented by taking photographs of them. These pictures were taken without any special recording setup or calibration, and are therefore distorted. The project aims to develop an automatic procedure for undistorting and cropping the photographs.
The Swiss Institute for the Science of Art (SIK-ISEA) has >3000 digitised photographs of paintings. The pictures were captured without accounting for perspective distortion. The project aims to develop a method that detects the image border lines and undistorts them to an upright, undistorted rectangular frame.
Group size: max 2
