In the Pursuit of Perfect 3D Digitization of Surfaces of Paintings : Geometry and Color Optimization

In this paper the automated system for 3D shape and color digitization of paintings is presented. It uses a 10000 points per mm2 structured-light measurement head fixed to the positioning system. The main focus of the paper is the process of optimizing results of digitization in order to obtain the best possible 3D model of surface of a painting in terms of shape and color accuracy.
