Abstract

In this paper the authors present the CHIP tool, an image processing software specifically designed for Cultural Heritage applications. The tool offers a wide range of functionalities to carry out analysis and virtual restoration of cultural objects, and fine tuning of the parameters to customize the performance. Simple operations such as color histograms or image features extraction and visualization are made possible for experts in a very simple graphic interface, together with sophisticated and efficient image processing algorithms such as enhancement, dynamic compression and inpainting.
