RESUMO
Signatures and hand writings were used during decades as a unique characteristic to recognize an individual. Methods to recognize these characteristics were base don the fact that each individual has an unique way to move his hand while writing. Taking that into account, it is reasonable to think that each painter has an unique way to strike the painting board with his stroke, leaving a distinguishing personal pattern, that can be used to identify him. From this principle comes the idea to apply computer vision to recognize specific patterns that could be used in the process of authentication of fine art paintings.This work shows the results of a research where the main purpose is to develop a methodology to find the authenticity of fine art paintings. A new segmentation process of strokes of a painting allied to a new technique of texture measure to get the implicit signatures in the strokes is proposed. Beyond that, this work investigates non-parametric classification methods to discriminate potential painters. The proposed method is evaluated with a set of experiments where the purpose is to discriminate between two well known Brazilian painters : Portinari and Bianco.
