- Mots clés- Archeology, minerals, pigments, material science, optics, radiative transfer, computer graphics, color**Description du sujet**:

- Create a physical model that connects the optical properties of the pigments used in cave paintings, and measured in-situ, to their physical and chemical properties: chemical composition of the minerals and binders, granulometry, texture. That model will be based on a physical model of radiative transfer inside the pigment layer.**Scientific challenges**:

- The pigments used in cave paintings are usually dry powders. We do not currently have a physical model for the reflectance of dry powders, as opposed to suspensions or compact materials.
- Experiments show that pigments can have different colors with the same chemical and mineral composition, implying that scattering effects are playing a role in the color.
- We have very few reference materials with well known physical properties and measured spectral response as well as bidirectional reflectance function, for dry powders.
- We do not have accurate optical constants for the materials (minerals, binders) used in the pigments, and measuring them is challenging.
- Painting materials are applied on a rock wall. This substrate contributes to the overall reflectance and appearance in some spectral ranges. We will have to remove its contribution.

**Methodology**:

- Build a corpus of dry mineral powders with known chemical composition and granulometry, and measure their bidirectional reflectance and spectrum in the visible and near infra-red, for a large number of incoming light direction and outgoing observation.
- Build a physical model for radiative transfer inside granular materials, possibly by adapting existing models.
- Invert this physical model to extract the characteristics of the materials from the measured spectrum and reflectance. Validate the model using the measures from the first step.
- Expand the model to mixtures of several minerals simulating natural pigments.
- Test on actual rock paintings.

**Possible extensions**:

- Invert the effects of aging, by reconstructing the appearance of the material as it was initially (with more pigments present, possibly a matrix connecting them).
