Helping Art Conservators
Ingrid Daubechies - President, IMU 2011-2014
ICM TV speaks to Prof Daubechies about her work using image analysis to discover new works of art, including the discovery of a Van Gogh portrait behind his well-known Grass in Bloom painting. Prof Daubechies pioneered the discovery of new wavelets, leading to their use in JPEG image compression, and now takes her expert knowledge to those in other fields – from geophysicists to art historians.
