MIT student prints AI polymer masks to restore paintings in hours

Summary by Ars Technica
MIT graduate student Alex Kachkine once spent nine months meticulously restoring a damaged baroque Italian painting, which left him plenty of time to wonder if technology could speed things up. Last week, MIT News announced his solution: a technique that uses AI-generated polymer films to physically restore damaged paintings in hours rather than months. The research appears in Nature. Kachkine's method works by printing a transparent "mask" cont…

A MIT student has created a method of restoration with A.I. Technica applies a mask printed over the damaged table. The restoration process takes several hours, no months or years. The restoration of works of art can take even a decade. But a new method with A.I. shortens everything in a few hours. A MIT student has repaired a table with 5.612 defects in 3 hours. How did it work? What is this new technique and who invented it? Alex Kachkine, a M…
