Colloquium Title and Abstract:
Wavelets, with Image processing applications for Art History
Wavelets are the building blocks for mathematical tool that emerged in
the 1980s as an interesting way to decompose, understand and compute
with signals, data and operators. The talk will review the basics of
wavelets and their mathematical properties; in a second part, we will
visit some recent applications of wavelets and image processing to
help understand art works, their manufacture process and their state of
conservation.
