기가픽셀 이미지 생성 기술을 통한 회화 작품의 디지털화 가능성

The advent of digital technologies, including virtual spaces, the metaverse, and digital twins, has witnessed a rapid evolution in the methodologies employed for the digitization of visual art and its presentation on digital platforms. Many artists anticipate that these digital exhibitions will facilitate the overcoming of spatial and temporal limitations and promote their work to a broader audience. Nevertheless, concerns have been raised that the efficacy of such exhibitions may be diminished due to factors such as resolution deterioration and visual aberration resulting from the digitization of physical artworks. This study concentrates on the digitization of paintings among various forms of visual art and puts forth a method that employs gigapixel images to effectively convey the physical presence of paintings in digital virtual exhibitions. The study incorporates not only pixel data but also metadata into ultra-high-resolution images, exploring methods to maximize transmission and loading efficiency while delivering intricate details of artworks without distortion. This approach aims to provide a digitization method that accurately reproduces painterly expressions in ultra-high resolution, enabling viewers to observe even the finest details of the artwork. Additionally, it addresses the potential of gigapixel images as a technology for preserving and conveying image information.
