• Abstract: In this work, the authors develop regression approaches based on deep learning to perform thread density estimation for plain weave canvas analysis. Previous approaches were based on Fourier analysis, which is quite robust for some scenarios but fails in some others, in machine learning tools, that involve pre-labeling of the painting at hand, or the segmentation of thread crossing points, that provides good estimations in all scenarios with no need of pre-labeling. The segmentation approach is time-consuming as the estimation of the densities is performed after locating the crossing points. In this novel proposal, we avoid this step by computing the density of threads directly from the image with a regression deep learning model. We also incorporate some improvements in the initial preprocessing of the input image with an impact on the final error. Several models are proposed and analyzed to retain the best one. Furthermore, we further reduce the density estimation error by introducing a semi-supervised approach. The performance of our novel algorithm is analyzed with works by Ribera, Vel\'azquez, and Poussin where we compare our results to the ones of previous approaches. Finally, the method is put into practice to support the change of authorship or a masterpiece at the Museo del Prado.

  Image restoration challenges related to illposed problems, resulting in deviations between single model predictions and ground-truths. Ensemble learning aims to address these deviations by combining the predictions of multiple base models. We employ an expectation (EM)-based algorithm to estimate ensemble weights for prediction candidates. Our algorithm is model-agnostic and training-free, allowing seamless integration and enhancement of various pre-trained image restoration models.

Despite limited-domain training data, the approach yields faithful estimations for arbitrary images, surpassing existing state-of-the-art algorithms.

The proposed approach, called Charting Outlines by Recurrent Adaptation'' (COBRA), combines Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) for feature extraction and active contour models for the delineation.
