My project is about art, and more precisely artistic movement recognition. I chose for this project that subject because it is part of culture in its general meaning, and I know from experience that being able to recognize the specific artistic movement a piece of art belongs to may be a tricky question. For this project, I chose to narrow my research to only paintings
First things first, it is important to make a quick reminder of great artistic movements.If you want to know more do not hesitate to click here :
Art gothique
Renaissance
Baroque
Romantism
Art Abstrait
Impressionism
Pointillism...
How many artistic movements can you recognize from these following examples ?
The platform recognizes pointillism with a confidence of 89,57% for the image on the left On the right, it recognizes cubism with a confidence of 98,68%!
I was inspired by a French group of artists and engineers called NoArtist.Their approach to art is quite unique and original. Indeed they created two algorithms linked one to another. The first one receives the data, for example 2,000 portraits, it treats it in order to recognize what caracterizes 'portraits'. Then it creates a brand new 'portrait', and sends it to the other algorithm which judges its accuracy.
However, it is important to highlight that the humans have the final word regarding the piece of art that will be exposed, but also they choose the data entered in the first place !
