New Year's Resolution: 5 µm
The hyper-res image of Rembrandt's Night Watch
@Rijksmuseum is now online:
hyper-resolution.org/Nightwa…
97 rows × 87 cols (8 439) @Hasselblad H6D-400c MS images
Size: 925 000 px × 775 000 px (717 GP)
Res: 5 µm (5080 ppi)
I'm delighted to announce that the composite image of Rembrandt's Night Watch @Rijksmuseum is now online for everyone to enjoy!

24 rows × 22 cols (528) @Hasselblad H6D-400c MS images
Size: 231 250 px × 193 750 px (44.8 GP)
Resolution: 20 µm (1270 ppi)
There's a newer image of the Night Watch with 717 gigapixels and 5 µm resolution (16 times as big as this one)!

next up: Rob @erdmann amazing talk on the use of ultra-res imagery and deep neural networks to better understand Rembrandt’s Night Watch #TNWConference #rijksmuseum

What a day. Launch of the missing pieces of Rembrandt’s Nightwatch with the help of neural networks. Based on the #ai work by @erdmann. Here's #culturalai for you #rijksmuseum nytimes.com/2021/06/23/arts/…
I designed a sequence of three artificial neural networks to make a computer reconstruction of the missing parts of the Night Watch from a small copy that was made before it was cut down.
The result is now hanging around the painting for the next three months @rijksmuseum!
Sections of Rembrandt’s painting “The Night Watch” were cut off in the 18th century and lost. Now, new technology lets viewers imagine how the original work might have looked. nyti.ms/35Mb3VW
🤯This is incredible! Thanks @MindsEyeCCF!
We were so impressed by @erdmann's keynote! We wanted to share some take aways with you via this awesome drawing by @MindsEyeCCF!

@pycon is really good about posting all videos shortly after the conference: youtube.com/c/PyConUS/videos
I'll give an overview of the many components needed to capture, process, and assemble a 925 000 px × 775 000 px (5 µm res.) photo of Rembrandt's Night Watch at the @rijksmuseum. Afterward I'll be available to answer questions on the live Q&A Zoom session.

Me being blown away during the keynote at @pycon. The level of skill being deployed to conserve "The Nightwatch" is wild.
