Closer to Van Eyck - an Artwork in Digital Image Processing This publication appears in: DSP Valley Newsletter Authors: F. Temmermans, B. Cornelis, I. Vanhamel, G. Fodor and A. Dooms Issue: 2 Number of Pages: 3 Publication Date: Apr. 2012
Abstract: The website "Closer to Van Eyck - Rediscovering the Ghent Altarpiece" presents the Ghent Altarpiece (1432) in visual light macrophotography, infrared macrophotography, infrared reflectography and X?radiography. Additionally, multiple extreme close-ups of selected details are available in two modalities (visual macrophotography and infrared macrophotography). In total, the website contains more than 100 billion pixels of image data. Processing and presenting such a huge amount of image data poses significant challenges. For this project, the department of electronics and informatics of the Vrije Universiteit Brussel (VUB-ETRO) was responsible for preprocessing the images. VUB spinoff Universum Digitalis (UD) developed the web application that opens the data to the public.
