People can also look at two paintings and find similarities between them in terms of composition color texture subject matter etc.
An artist might be inspired by one painting a body of work or even an entire style of art.
Although there has been some research on automated classification of paintings there is almost no research done on computer-based measuring
However there is limited research on the classification of painting style. Measuring influence is a very difficult task because of the broad criteria for
and retrieving paintings. There are millions of paintings present on the Internet; to manage properly the databases of these paintings it becomes essential to classify paintings into different categories and sub-categories.
This classification structure can be used as an index and thus can improve the speed of retrieval process.
Also it will be of great significance if we can infer new information about an unknown painting using already existing databases of paintings.
Although the meaning of a painting is unique to each artist and is completely subjective it can somewhat be measured by the symbols and objects in the painting.
Symbols are visual words that often express something about the meaning of a work as well.
For example the works of Renaissance artists such as Giovanni Bellini and Jan Van-eyck use religious symbols such as a cross wings and animals to tell stories in the Bible.
We should be able to describe the painting from a list of many different object classes.
Paintings do not necessarily have to look alike but if they do or if they have reoccurring objects (high-level semantics) then they might be considered similar.
If influence is found by looking at similar characteristics within a group of paintings the importance of finding a good similarity measure becomes prominent.
and the linearity of paintings therefor cuts down the possibilities of influence. The contribution of our work 1234 is in exploring the problem of computer-automated suggestion of influences between artists a problem that has not previously been addressed in a general setting.
1) studying different representations of painting to determine which is more useful for the task of influence detection;
2) measuring similarity between paintings; 3) studying different measures of similarity between artists. We collected a comprehensive painting dataset for conducting our study.
The data set contains 1710 high-resolution images of paintings by 66 artist spanning the time period of 1412-1996
and containing 13 painting styles. We also collected a ground-truth data set for the task of artistic influences
which mainly contains positive influences claimed by art historians. This ground-truth was used only for the overall evaluation of our discovered/suggested influences
We hypothesized that a high-level semantic representation of painting would be more useful for the task of influence detection.
We tried to find this useful representation by considering the task of classifying painting style.
and classification models for the task of classifying painting style among seven different styles 13.
Using the right features to represent the painting paves the way for judging similarity between paintings in a quantifiable way.
Figure 2 illustrates an example of similar paintings detected by our automated methodology: Frederic Bazille#Studio 9 Rue de la Condamine#(1870) and Norman Rockwell#Shuffleton Barber Shop#(1950.
The paintings may not look similar at first glance; however a closer look reveals striking similarity in composition and subject matter
Measuring similarity between paintings is fundamental to discovering influences however it is not clear how painting similarity might be used to suggest influences between artists.
The paintings of a given artist can span an extended period of time and can be influenced by several other contemporary and prior artists.
