See How This Artificial Intelligence Reproduces Paintings

This image shows the original paintings (across the top), as illuminated by different light sources (from left, 6410K, 4291K & 3410K) and below are the same paintings reproduced by the AI in RePaint. This image shows that RePaint works effectively in dramatically different lighting conditions.MIT CSAIL A team from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory (CSAIL) has designed a system called RePaint that uses artificial intelligence (AI) and 3D printing to reproduce paintings. The system is a workflow for spectral reproduction of paintings can capture the spectral color, regardless of light, and reproduce it. This technology could be used by museums to reproduce artwork that has been stolen or is on loan to another museum. Despite the fact that the reproductions made by the researchers were only the size of a business card, the team noted that RePaint was four times more accurate than state-of-the-art physical models at creating the exact color shades for different artworks.
