Researchers have developed SynGallery, a synthetic dataset designed to improve instance-level artwork recognition in museums. This dataset, comprising 24,490 rendered views of 4,898 paintings from the Met benchmark, addresses the challenge of matching visitor photographs to specific artworks by simulating various real-world conditions like oblique viewpoints and gallery lighting. Training with SynGallery significantly boosts recognition accuracy, improving performance from 67.18% to 73.47% GAP$^-$ when used alone, and from 35.97% to 38.48% GAP when added to existing training data. The study indicates that geometric viewpoint variation is more crucial for performance gains than photographic realism. AI
