Have a damaged painting? Restore it in just hours with an AI-generated “mask”
A new method uses AI to physically restore a damaged painting much more quickly than what’s possible using manual techniques. A digitally generated “mask” in the form of thin film is applied directly to the original painting, and can also be easily removed.


MIT student prints AI polymer masks to restore paintings in hours
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…
A MIT student has developed a new technique to restore old paintings. By combining artificial intelligence with an inkjet printer, he can perform a work within a few hours that usually takes months.
