N o w, I B M re s e a rchers and art
historian Jack Wa s s e r man are
using Deep Computing tech-
niques to create a near- p e rf e c t
replica – a digital one – based
on analysis of nearly 2 billion
bits of data. They hope their work
will lead to new theories about
M i c h e l a n g e l o ’s concepts of
p ro p o rtion and dimension, and
what the work looked like
b e f o re pieces were re a t t a c h e d .
A special six-lens camera
originally designed for cosmetic
s u r geons captures hundreds of
digital mesh “shape photos.”
F rom these, a computer using a
special mathematical algorithm
re c o n s t ructs a wireframe model
of the sculpture. Though cru d e ,
this model contains millions
of points and triangles to define
s u r face contours.
M astering the geometric
complexity of the Flore n t i n e
Pietà generates new tech-
niques for digitizing very larg e
real-world objects. These
techniques allow scholars
to make computer models
of objects to which they
o rdinarily would have
no access, and to examine
them in exquisite detail.
