Abstract

This paper reports the implementation of machine learning techniques in the identification of pure painting pigments applying spectral data obtained from both the paint tubes used and the paintings produced by Portuguese artist Amadeo de Souza Cardoso. It illustrates the rationales and advantages behind the application of more accurate artificial mixing by subtractive mixing on the reference pigments as well as the use of Root Mean Square Error (RMSE) for distinguishing especially the mixtures that contain white and black, so that a more holistic machine learning approach can be applied; notably, the experiment of neural network for discerning black and white pigments, which later could be applied for both pure and mixed pigment identification. Other machine learning techniques like Decision Tree and Support Vector Machine are also exploited and compared in terms of the identification of pure pigments. In addition, this paper proposes the solution to the common problem of highly-imbalanced and limited data in the analysis of historical artwork field.
