Abstract

This research investigates the efficacy and reliability of geometric matching for the specific case of aligning non-exact copies of artistic works with the original from which they were derived. The purpose of which is to provide a foundation for comparison in any further analysis conducted by conservators and art historians. An overview of the image alignment field as a whole is provided as well as a discussion of the particulars of aligning artworks. A variety of demonstrative results indicate the strengths and weaknesses of the technique in this domain and are accompanied by a discussion of the headline conclusions.
