Art historians have traditionally used physical light boxes to prepare exhibits or curate collections. On a light box, they can place slides or printed images, move the images around at will, group them as desired, and visual-ly compare them. The transition to digital images has rendered this workflow obsolete. Now, art historians lack well-designed, unified interactive software tools that effectively support the operations they perform with physi-cal light boxes. To address this problem, we designed ARIES (ARt Image Exploration Space), an interactive image manipulation system that enables the exploration and organization of fine digital art. The system allows images to be compared in multiple ways, offering dynamic overlays analogous to a physical light box, and sup-porting advanced image comparisons and feature-matching functions, available through computational image processing. We demonstrate the effectiveness of our system to support art historians tasks through real use cases.
传统上，艺术史学家使用实体灯箱来筹备展览或管理藏品。在灯箱上，他们可以放置幻灯片或打印图像，随意移动图像，按自己的意愿对图像进行分组，并直观地进行比较。向数字图像的转变使这种工作流程过时了。如今，艺术史学家缺乏精心设计的、统一的交互式软件工具来有效支持他们使用实体灯箱所进行的操作。为了解决这个问题，我们设计了ARIES（艺术图像探索空间），这是一个交互式图像操纵系统，能够对精细的数字艺术作品进行探索和整理。该系统允许以多种方式比较图像，提供类似于实体灯箱的动态叠加效果，并支持通过计算图像处理实现的高级图像比较和特征匹配功能。我们通过实际用例展示了我们的系统在支持艺术史学家任务方面的有效性。
