AI-Shield v0: Safeguarding cultural-arts.com
Embarking on a new era, we introduce the first version of our AI-Shield model, sbrzz/cultural-arts-shield-v0, a pioneering initiative by the cultural-arts.com AI Team. Utilizing a fine-tuned MobileNetV2 architecture on our private dataset, this model serves as a powerful screening mechanism for uploaded images.
This model distinguishing images into "Accepted" or "Garbage." It effectively filters out irrelevant or malicious content before entering the core of our image-based system.
We're proud to support the open-source community, and the model is available on Hugging Face. The Model Card provides detailed insights, and the license information is accessible in the repository.
Stay tuned for updates as we enhance AI-Shield, ensuring a secure and enriching experience for users on cultural-arts.com.

Innovative Breakthrough: AI System for Bio Contamination Defects Detection in Art
December 2023 marks a significant milestone for our organization as we unveil a cutting-edge development in the realm of art preservation and restoration. Building upon our extensive art database, which now spans across all Italian regions with more than 80,000 entries, we proudly announce the integration of an advanced AI system.
Our AI system is specifically designed to recognize and address bio contamination defects within artworks. Detected defects spans across bio-contaminations like Alga, Lichen, Mould, Moss, Plant.
By leveraging the power of artificial intelligence, our system brings a revolutionary approach to preserving the integrity of artistic masterpieces. The integration of this technology allows us to detect subtle signs of bio contamination that may compromise the longevity and beauty of these cultural treasures.
This groundbreaking initiative underscores our commitment to not only expand the scope of our database but also to contribute significantly to the field of art conservation. As we continue to push the boundaries of technological innovation, we are dedicated to safeguarding the rich cultural heritage encapsulated in monuments, buildings, and historical places throughout Italy and beyond.
Example of detection in art contaminated mainly by alga defect.
To the left, an artwork extensively contaminated by algal growth. On the right, a set of detection maps, each displaying the probability of defects (with the defect title on top). The probability ranges from 0 (black) to 1 (white).
NOTE: In the next months, our state-of-the-art AI system for detecting bio contamination defects in art will be made available for trial as an online Software as a Service
Our database of arts, which includes monuments, buildings, and historical places, has expanded to cover all Italian regions. We now have more than 80,000 arts in our collection.
