Degraded Artefact Image Data Set

The data set consists of 334 images of 1920x1080 pixels extracted from a video file of an artefact from the Restoration and Conservation Laboratory, Oltenia Museum, Craiova, Romania. The ones where the broken part is visible have associatated masks to cover the missing parts. The images can be used for image inpainting, as well as for 3D modelling.

The video file included resulted from an approach that is presented in the article below, which is submitted for publication in Journal of Cultural Heritage.
