Image In painting Applied to Art Completing Escher's Print Gallery
This work addresses art reconstruction for cultural heritage preservation, but it is incremental as it applies existing inpainting methods to a specific artwork.
The researchers tackled the problem of art reconstruction by applying image inpainting to complete M.C. Escher's Print Gallery lithography, which has a central void and a complex mathematical structure that must be preserved, but no concrete results or numbers are provided as the work is in early stages.
This extended abstract presents the first stages of a research on in-painting suited for art reconstruction. We introduce M.C Eschers Print Gallery lithography as a use case example. This artwork presents a void on its center and additionally, it follows a challenging mathematical structure that needs to be preserved by the in-painting method. We present our work so far and our future line of research.
