Analysis of natural lighting condition for the digitization of artwork in an art gallery interior

Abstract

The paper discusses the analysis of natural lighting conditions for digitizing art. The emphasis is on a realistic 3D digital reproduction of a work of art in natural lighting conditions in the interior of an art gallery. The art object is scanned and digitized in two natural lighting conditions. The photogrammetry method was used for a realistic 3D reconstruction of the artwork. This experiment aims to analyze the influence of lighting conditions on the quality of 3D reproduction of an art object concerning image processing and color reproduction. In this study, no accessories were used to increase the quality of the captured image, such as reflective and diffusive plates or lights to illuminate the art object. The art object was scanned and digitized in two natural lighting conditions. This study aims to analyze the influence of actual lighting conditions on the quality of a realistic digital 3D reproduction of a work of art.
