The Aracne software was mainly designed by Juan José Murillo-Fuentes, Irene Fondón-García, Marta Ternero-Gutiérrez, Lucía Córdoba-Saborido and Pablo Aguilera-Bonet. It was born as a collaboration with Museo Nacional del Prado to develop a tool to count threads in X-rays of canvases. We are deeply grateful to Laura Alba, for her useful comments, suggestions, test and supervision of the Aracne software.
The main objective was to provide a tool to count vertical and horizontal threads along large areas in a X-ray image. We have developed a software not just fulfilling this request, but with the following additional features:
- Thread counting along the whole image, for every spot in the canvas.
- Analysis of the angle deviation of the threads from the horizontal and vertical axes.
- Analysis of the power spectrum density.
