    The following codes can be used for academic research only:

    MATLAB function: ACARPENOS.m v1.2
    Needs symmetrically padded convolution: sym_conv2.m

    Example script for additional experiments: ACARPENOS_example.m
    Additional experiments (canvas pattern removal in paintings): canvas.m.
