Ambedo Turns Museum Browsing Into Close Looking
An art-discovery tool that compares public-domain paintings by palette, composition, and image-embedding similarity across four museum collections.
Field notes
The catalogue combines records from four museums with image data served from each institution’s own endpoint. Similarity views separate three signals: CIELAB palette distance, a 134-dimension description of light and edge placement, and a SigLIP 2 embedding for overall resemblance. A second interaction invites visitors to mark a rectangular detail and write what they noticed; the page says this requires no specialist knowledge, while sign-in preserves attribution and editing controls.
