Abstraction and Depiction of Sparsely Scanned Outdoor Environments
(The Eurographics Association, 2005)This paper describes various techniques and applications of rendering three-dimensionally digitized outdoor en- vironments in non-photorealistic rendering styles. The difficulty in rendering outdoor environments is ... -
Accurate and Discernible Photocollages
(The Eurographics Association, 2012)We propose a system for arranging images from a database into a collage that resembles some target image. These collages exploit large scale visual correspondences between the target image and the images in the database. ... -
ActionPlot: A Visualization Tool for Contemporary Dance Analysis
(The Eurographics Association, 2011)This paper illustrates a prototype for visualizing contemporary dance through a movement analysis tool, entitled ActionPlot. Contemporary dance is an experiential and time based art form with few available analysis techniques. ... -
Adding Lighting and Viewing Effects to Digital Images
(The Eurographics Association, 2009)Real paintings are not truly flat but change subtly with variations in viewing direction. The pigments and painting layers also interact with the lighting environment, producing changes that range from subtle to quite ... -
Aesthetic Agents: Swarm-based Non-photorealistic Rendering using Multiple Images
(The Eurographics Association, 2011)The creation of expressive styles for digital art is one of the primary goals in non-photorealistic rendering. In this paper, we introduce a swarm-based multi-agent system that is capable of producing expressive imagery ... -
Aesthetic Appraisal of Art - from Eye Movements to Computers
(The Eurographics Association, 2009)By looking at a work of art, an observer enters into a dialogue. In this work, we attempt to analyze this dialogue with both behavioral and computational tools. In two experiments, observers were asked to look at a large ... -
Aesthetic Placement of Points Using Generalized Lloyd Relaxation
(The Eurographics Association, 2009)In this paper we describe a computational method for producing aesthetically pleasing distributions of disks on a canvas. The positions of the disks are initially given at random and are moved into interesting configurations ... -
Aesthetics in Covariant Image Reconstruction
(The Eurographics Association, 2005)This paper describes a method of seamless cloning based on aesthetic theory of lightness perception. Judgment of lightness and color harmony is treated as low level aesthetic judgment made by the human visual system. The ... -
The Aesthetics of Graph Visualization
(The Eurographics Association, 2007)The discipline of graph visualization produces pictorial representations of node link structures. Much effort has been directed toward making such diagrams visually pleasing. A variety of aesthetic heuristics have been ... -
Aesthetics of Hand-Drawn vs. Computer-Generated Stippling
(The Eurographics Association, 2007)Recent work in non-photorealistic rendering has produced results comparable to hand-drawn artistic images. Inspiration for such techniques has come from many traditional artistic techniques, such as pen-and-ink, to depict ... -
The Aesthetics of Rapidly-Exploring Random Trees
(ACM, 2013)Rapidly-Exploring Random Trees (RRTs) have been introduced as an algorithmic concept for the rapid exploration of configuration spaces targeting fast path planning, mainly applied in the field of robotics. Typically, such ... -
The Aesthetics of the Underworld
(The Eurographics Association, 2008)Although the development of computational aesthetics has largely concentrated on 3D geometry and illustrative rendering, aesthetics are equally an important principle underlying 2D graphics and information visualization. ... -
The aMotion Toolkit: Painting with Affective Motion Textures
(The Eurographics Association, 2012)Visual artists and designers frequently use carefully crafted motion textures patterns of ambient motion throughout a scene to imbue the atmosphere with affect. The design of such ambient visual cues is an elusive topic ... -
Animating Persian Floral Patterns
(The Eurographics Association, 2008)In this paper we describe Persian floral patterns and explore techniques for animating them. We present several approaches for this dynamic recreation: visualizing pattern symmetries, illustrating their design process, and ... -
Applications of High Precision Imaging Polarimetry
(The Eurographics Association, 2008)We propose the use of imaging polarimetry for general photography, which is a relatively young technique allowing the determination of polarized components of the light coming from extended objects or scenes. In this paper ... -
ARTcams: Attributed Rational Tensor Cameras
(The Eurographics Association, 2009)Non-linear camera models are playing an increasingly important role in computer graphics, especially in image based rendering and non-photorealistic rendering. We introduce ARTcams as simple non-linear cameras, which are ... -
Artistic Canvases for Gestural and Non-linear Typography
(The Eurographics Association, 2011)This paper presents an exploration of gestural and non-linear typography through the production of two software applications, TextDraw and TypeIs. Both were created through a media-art-research practice, wherein extended ... -
Arty Shapes
(The Eurographics Association, 2008)This paper shows that shape simplification is a tool useful in Non-Photorealistic rendering from photographs, because it permits a level of abstraction otherwise unreachable. A variety of simple shapes (e.g. circles, ... -
Automated Landscape Painting in the Style of Bob Ross
(The Eurographics Association, 2009)We present a system that can generate convincing synthetic landscape paintings with no user intervention whatsoever, nor any information about 3D geometry or lighting. The system is based on a direct implementation of ...
