Peter Bell: "Into Iconography: Understanding Images via Pose, Interaction and Composition"

Peter Bell, Friedrich-Alexander University Erlangen-Nuremberg. This video is part of a series of lectures from the symposium 'SEARCHING THROUGH SEEING: OPTIMIZING COMPUTER VISION TECHNOLOGY FOR THE ARTS' presented by The Frick Collection and the Frick Art Reference Library on Thursday and Friday, April 12-13, 2018.

This two-day symposium was an initiative to harness existing tools in computer vision science for art-historical research and advise their development. To this end, the symposium brought together professionals from the fields of computer science and art history to identify the precise technological needs for expanding image-based searching as a tool and a methodology with the ultimate aim of building a usable image-search platform with multiple applications in the arts.
