Menéndez Pelayo y la creación del mito de Pereda, el genio natural
Authors: Rodríguez Gutiérrez Borja
Published: September 2022

El objetivo principal de este artículo es analizar el discurso pronunciado en 1911 de Menéndez Pelayo en la inauguración del monumento en honor de Pereda y explicar la relación existente entre ambos autores. En el discurso, Menéndez Pelayo alude a la falta de cultura literaria, la ausencia de preparación y de estudios de Pereda; sin embargo, añade que esas carencias convierten al escritor en un artista primitivo, es decir, que no toma origen de nada. Esta condición implica para Pelayo que Pereda estaba destinado a ser el poeta de la raza y la patria cántabra. Pelayo insiste en que esa inspiración, intuición e iluminación innatas son atributos de genio, como le ocurre a Pereda. Asimismo, establece una comparación entre el poeta Ossian y Pereda y concluye que Pereda es para los cántabros lo que Ossian para los escoceses. Finalmente, a pesar de la diferencia de edad, Pereda era considerado discípulo de Pelayo. Por estos motivos, se podría ver a Pereda como intérprete inconsciente y automático y a Menéndez Pelayo como su creador, en cuanto a la imagen concebida de Pereda.

Digital Holographic Printing Methods for 3D Visualization of Cultural Heritage Artifacts
Authors: Kang Hoonjong , Nazarova Dimana , Ivanov Branimir , Hong Sunghee , Sup Park Joo , Kim Youngmin , Park Jiyong , Berberova Nataliya , Stoykova Elena , Malinowski Nikola
Published: September 2022

Holography enables capture and reconstruction of the optical field scattered from three-dimensional (3D) objects. The hologram encodes both amplitude and phase of the field under coherent illumination, whereas photography records only the amplitude by incoherent light. 3D visualization feature of holography motivates expansion of research efforts dedicated to digital holographic imaging methods as a holographic display or a holographic printer. The paper presents two holographic 3D printing techniques which combine digital 3D representation of an object with analog holographic recording. Generation of digital contents is considered for a holographic stereogram printer and a recently proposed wavefront printer. These imaging methods could be applied to specific artifacts which are difficult to be recorded by conventional analog holography.

Mapping the Conservations Status of Easel Painting. Craquelure Structure Visualization by Binary Image Segmentation Approach
Authors: Stoyanova Magdelena , Lukić Tibor
Published: September 2022

In easel painting (icons) mapping the status of conservation (MCS) is a complex process of prospecting in various spectral, graphic, and spatial techniques, integral analysis and “technical” visualizations of the data whose function is to lay out detected damages or symptoms, not directly perceivable from the VIS, UV, IR or X-r imaging. In this work, the results of a multimethodological survey applied to the end of detecting sharp discontinuities
(boundary of cavities, wrinkles and fractures in the host medium) are illustrated.
As, due to the microscopic size and depth of a crackle/wrinkle fragment or net, it may be rather difficult to single out its position and extent because of the generally low signal-to-noise (S/N) ratio, binary image segmentation and highresolution data acquisition has been adopted for improving the visibility of the studied area.

An Approach to Raspberry Pi Synchronization in a Multimedia Projection System for Applications in Presentation of Historical and Cultural Heritage
Authors: D. Savić Nemanja , B. Gajić Dušan , S. Stanković Radomir
Published: September 2022

This paper discusses an implementation of a multimedia projection
system with two synchronized video sources, based on the Raspberry Pi single board computer systems. The system is primarily intended for various projections in presentation of historical and cultural heritage, although it can be used for many other related purposes. The considered multimedia system has two projection surfaces - a horizontal projection plane and a 45° inclined special glass projection plane which creates the hologramlike Pepper’s Ghost effect.
Each plane displays a separate high-definition video obtained from the corresponding Raspberry Pi. Synchronization of presentations is achieved using cu stom connection throu gh the general purpose input/output (GPIO) connector of the Raspberry Pi and the wiringPi interface library. As valuable aspects of the system, we can point out the following. From the practical point of view, the
system has low cost due to the use of Rasp berry Pis. Generation of a holograp hic effect, as well as larger flexibility in creating the contents of the presentations due to the two projection surfaces, are additional attractive features.

Deep Belief Networks for Multimodal, Images-based Non Contact Material Characterization
Authors: Stoyanova Magdelena , Pavlova Lilia
Published: September 2022

Our growing cognisance about the chemo-physical properties of electromagnetic waves and of their interaction with various materials provides expanding range of possibilities for quantification and non contact material characterization even in difficult to computation, « non-standard » domains as this of the cultural heritage. This review - thematically part of the IFIDA project dedicated to digitization of archaeometric and conservation-restoration praxis - deals with the possibilities latest neuroinformatic methods offer for a more efficient and fast interrogation, understanding and classification of multi-modal spectral records of paintings on various supports. The workflow followed during their routine non destructive (ND) analysis by human experts is described in terms of specific technical characteristics, research objectives and concrete application for the artworks' characterization as a prototype to simulate artificially. References to techniques for high semantic level information extraction from low-level features are suggested. The strengths and limitations in application of Deep Belief
Networks (DBNs) for compression, visualization and data recognition are also considered. Examples of most appropriate architectures and topological maps of
Deep Learning Networks for interpretation of UV, IR, XR, β, γ and CT records
performing simple characterization and classification tasks - from single layer perceptron to multi-layer deep belief neural networks for unlabelled data - are presented and explained.
