| Summary: | Modern computer vision algorithms allow researchers and art historians to search for artist-characteristic contour extraction from sketches, thus providing accurate input for artwork analysis, for possible assignments and classifications, and also for the identification of the specific stylistic features. We approach this challenging task with three machine learning algorithms and evaluate their performance on a small collection of images from five distinct artists. These algorithms aim to find the most appropriate artist for a sketch (or a contour of a sketch), with promising results that have a higher level of confidence (around 92%). Models start from common Faster R-CNN architectures, reinforcement learning, and vector extraction tools. The proposed tool provides a base for future improvements to create a tool that aids artwork evaluators. |
