In this paper, we focus on applying sentiment analysis to resources from online collections, by exploiting, as information source, tags intended as textual traces that visitors leave for commenting artworks on social platforms. Our aim is to create a semantic social space where artworks can be dynamically organized according to an ontology of emotions. We propose to tackle this issue in a seman...

One of the goal of computational aesthetics is to understand what is special about visual artworks. By analyzing image statistics, contemporary methods in computer vision enable researchers to identify properties that distinguish artworks from other (non-art) types of images. Such knowledge will eventually allow inferences with regard to the possible neural mechanisms that underlie aesthetic pe...

The use of visual elements of an existing image while creating new ones is a commonly observed phenomenon in digital artworks. The practice, which is referred to as image reuse, is not an easy one to detect even with the human eye, less so using computational methods. In this paper, we study the automatic image reuse detection in digital artworks as an image retrieval problem. First, we introdu...

Museums need to find innovative ways of communicating if these institutions want to survive in the new era and want to play their active role of educators. In this paper, we will present our idea of living artworks. Using conversational agents we want to give artworks the capability of talking to visitors. A living artwork attracts attention, being a funny and novel combination of art and techn...

This paper proposes and demonstrates a new integration of the theory of fractals and the butterfly effect of chaos theory. They both have long histories in creating digital artworks, but besides of many existing fractal software programs, none of them allowed us to achieve the proposed integration. Moreover, our program is the first to provide the functional concepts of overlapping results and ...

This paper presents a digital watermarking scheme based on a new application of DWT and SVD for color artworks protection. This scheme uses the major features of the two chrominance components where the watermark bits are embedded only into one chrominance component according to the color prevalence rate. In watermark embedding process, more modifications can be done upon the selected chrominan...

We collect public opinions on museum artworks using online crowdsourcing techniques. We ask two research questions. First, do crowd opinions on artworks differ from expert interpretations? Second, how can museum manage large amount of crowd opinions, such that users can efficiently retrieve useful information? We address these questions through opinion modeling via semantic embedding and dimens...
