Digital image processing in painting restoration and archiving

Digital image processing and analysis can be an important tool for the restoration of works of art. This paper presents three applications of image processing in this field: a method for digital crack restoration of paintings, a technique for color restoration of old paintings and a method for mosaicing of partial images of works of art painted on curved surfaces. A digital archiving system for works of arts is also described.
