Composition Principles for Quality Depiction and Aesthetics
(The Eurographics Association, 2007)Composition is an important aspect of both traditional illustration practices and non-photorealistic rendering methods. Composition means combining drawing elements such as line, tone, texture, focus of attention and ... -
Stipple Placement using Distance in a Weighted Graph
(The Eurographics Association, 2007)We present a stipple placement method which provides extra emphasis to image features, especially edges. Our algorithm transforms an image into a regular graph, with edge weights given by the local gradient magnitude of ... -
Flattening the Viewable Sphere
(The Eurographics Association, 2007)The viewable sphere corresponds to the space that surrounds us. The evolution of photography and panoramic software and hardware has made it possible for anybody to capture the viewable sphere. It is now up to the artist ... -
An Information-Theoretic Ambient Occlusion
(The Eurographics Association, 2007)Ambient occlusion is a powerful technique that mimics indirect global illumination at a fraction of the cost. In this paper, we introduce a new ambient occlusion technique based on information-theoretic concepts. A viewpoint ... -
New Methods to Project Panoramas for Practical and Aesthetic Purposes
(The Eurographics Association, 2007)Recent advances in digital photomontage have simplified the creation of extreme wide-angle views from a vantage point, including the recreation of the entire sphere (we will refer to these type of images as panoramas). In ... -
Perceptual and Computational Categories in Art
(The Eurographics Association, 2008)The categorization of art (paintings, literature) into distinct styles such as expressionism, or surrealism has had a profound influence on how art is presented, marketed, analyzed, and historicized. Here, we present results ... -
Pictorial Analysis of Line-drawings
(The Eurographics Association, 2008)We present in this paper an approach to the analysis of the pictorial content of artistic line-drawings. The pictorial content is the combination of the stylistic content and of the visual features of the represented ... -
Improving Scans of Black and White photographs by Recovering the Print Maker's Artistic Intent
(The Eurographics Association, 2008)In this paper we propose a method that reverse engineers the aesthetic decisions made by a print maker to produce a print from a negative, namely cropping, contrast selection, and dodging-and-burning. It then re-applies ... -
Regularity and Randomness in Bridget Riley's Aarly Op Art
(The Eurographics Association, 2008)I investigate the trade-off between regularity and randomness in Bridget Riley's early Op art, focusing on White Discs 2 (1964) and Fragment 6/9 (1965). I build on this to investigate the trade-off more generally. I analyse ... -
Informational Dialogue with Van Gogh's Paintings
(The Eurographics Association, 2008)From the pioneering work by Birkhoff, several measures have been proposed to quantify the aesthetic content of art. After Bense's application of information theory to Birkhoff's ideas, the concept of informational aesthetics ... -
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, ... -
Mimicking Hand-Drawn Pencil Lines
(The Eurographics Association, 2008)In applications such as architecture, early design sketches often mislead the target audience [SSRL96]. Approximate human-drawn sketches are typically accepted as a better way of demonstrating fundamental design concepts. ... -
Modeling and Synthesis of Aperture Effects in Cameras
(The Eurographics Association, 2008)In this paper we describe the capture, analysis, and synthesis of optical vignetting in conventional cameras. We analyze the spatially-varying point spread function (PSF) to accurately model the vignetting for any given ... -
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 ... -
Watercolor Illustrations of CAD Data
(The Eurographics Association, 2008)In this paper we describe a project that integrates a non-photorealistic rendering pipeline into an existing CAD system. The pipeline enables the customers of the CAD company to create aesthetically appealing renderings ... -
Expressive Trajectories
(The Eurographics Association, 2008)This paper presents Expressive Trajectories, a project for Interactive Digital Art and Contemporary Dance. The project has two main components: X-Motion, a real-time interactive system for live performances; and Choreographisms, ... -
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. ... -
Seamless Integration of Labels into Interactive Virtual 3D Environments Using Parameterized Hulls
(The Eurographics Association, 2008)This paper presents an approach for the automated, dynamic placement of labels attached to objects of 3D scenes. These labels are seamlessly integrated into the 3D scene by textured polygons aligned to parameterized hulls, ... -
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 ...
