Abstract
A painting, much like written text, allows future viewers to
draw conclusions about the time of its creation or its painter. Also, when
looking at a whole corpus of images instead a single instance, trends in
painting can be analyzed. One particular trend originating in the 14th
century is the transfer of the visual impression of real world materials
onto paintings. One object, which is often depicted in paintings around
that time being made from wood, is Christ’s cross. Scarce research has
been done in the direction of automatically analyzing painterly depictions
of the wooden cross of Christ. Hence, this study walks a step towards
automatic annotation of wooden crosses in paintings by evaluating three
publicly available databases containing natural images of wood for their
applicability to use their images as queries to retrieve painterly depictions
of the wood of the cross. Experimental results underline the demand for
further investigations.
