    Development of a High Resolution Topography and Color Scanner to Capture Crack Patterns of Paintings
    (The Eurographics Association, 2018) Hengstum, Mathijs J. W. van; Essers, Tessa T. W.; Elkhuizen, Willemijn S.; Dodou, Dimitra; Song, Yu; Geraedts, Jo M. P.; Dik, Joris; Sablatnig, Robert and Wimmer, Michael
    The aging of paintings is inevitable and over the years degradation occurs due to exposure to a variety of environmental influences. One of these degradations is craquelure, fracture patterns in the paint. 3D imaging techniques offer opportunities to capture the surface of a painting and these patterns at high resolution. In this paper we present a 3D scanner that is able to capture surface topography and color of oil paintings at high resolution utilizing fringe-encoded stereo imaging scanning system. The scanner is capable of automated capture of an area of 1x1m2, capturing a painting at a spatial resolution of 7 micron and a depth accuracy of 34 microns. Scanning at this resolution creates potential research opportunities for documentation and monitoring oil paintings under its environmental influences. A scan was made of 'Girl with a Pearl Earring' (c.1665), painted by Johannes Vermeer, which exhibits fine craquelure patterns. The scanner is able to capture the painting of 39x44.5 cm within 2 hours with a tile overlap of 25%. The results showed that the craquelure has more often a ridge-shaped profile instead of the expected inward valleys. The documentation of these variations in crack profiles create interesting paths for future research.

    Gloss Calibration and Gloss Gamut Mapping for Material Appearance Reproduction of Paintings
    (The Eurographics Association, 2018) Elkhuizen, Willemijn S.; Essers, Tessa T. W.; Song, Yu; Pont, Sylvia C.; Geraedts, Jo M. P.; Dik, Joris; Sablatnig, Robert and Wimmer, Michael
    Being able to link captured material characteristics and fabricable material appearance attributes is important for creating life-like reproductions. In this paper we propose a method for gloss calibration, and an approach for gloss gamut mapping, as part of an integrated approach for color, topography and gloss reproduction. For gloss calibration, gloss calibration targets were printed in the primary printing colors (CMYK and White), with uniform gloss in equal distant gloss levels. These targets were scanned using the proposed gloss scanner. To create the gloss gamut map, a monotonic curve was fitted to the mean gloss scan values at different gloss levels. Analysis of fitted curves indicated that the gloss mapping is independent of the diffuse colors. As a case study, the painting 'Fruit Still Life' by Cornelis de Heem was scanned, and the measured gloss was mapped to printable gloss levels using the relation described by the fitted curve. The printed result shows good correspondence to the painting's appearance, with clearly distinguishable gloss features for the in-gamut glass values.
