Historical paintings recreated using deep learning and 3D printing

 .

A team of scientists from Massachusetts Institute of Technology’s (MIT’s) Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory (CSAIL) has created a system aimed at designing reproductions of world-famous paintings. The new system—called RePaint—uses a combination of 3D printing and deep learning to authentically recreate historical paintings, regardless of different lighting conditions or placement.

RePaint can be used to remake artwork for a home, protect originals from wear and tear in museums, or even help companies create prints and postcards of such masterpieces. To test RePaint, the team reproduced a number of oil paintings created by an artist collaborator. It found that the system was more than four times more accurate than state-of-the-art physical models at creating exact colour shades for different artworks. As of now, reproductions are only about the size of a business card, due to the timeintensive nature of […]
