Magnetic Curves: Curvature-Controlled Aesthetic Curves Using Magnetic Fields
(The Eurographics Association, 2009)We describe 'magnetic curves', a particle-tracing method that creates curves with constantly changing curvature. It is well known that charged particles in a constant magnetic field trace out circular or helical trajectories. ... -
Learning about Shadows from Artists
(The Eurographics Association, 2010)Renaissance artists discovered methods for imaging realistic depth on a two dimensional surface by re-inventing linear perspective. In solving the problem of depth depiction, they observed how shadows project and volumes ... -
Toward Auvers Period: Evolution of van Gogh's Style
(The Eurographics Association, 2010)In this paper, we analyze the evolution of van Gogh's style toward the Auvers final period using informational measures. We will try to answer the following questions: Was van Gogh exploring new ways toward changing his ... -
Discretization of 3D Models Using Voxel Elements of Different Shapes
(The Eurographics Association, 2010)This paper presents a voxelization algorithm that uses elements of various shapes that are not larger than a single voxel. Elements are chosen from a palette in order to minimize the deviation from the actual object according ... -
Procedural Generation of Surface Detail for Science Fiction Spaceships
(The Eurographics Association, 2010)Procedural modelling can be used to generate digital content such as 3D digital models programmatically. In computer graphics, Procedural modelling has focused primarily on natural scenery and cityscapes. This paper considers ... -
Subdivision Beyond Smoothness
(The Eurographics Association, 2010)This paper examines the role that subdivision processes can have in the production of form. It explores how subdivision processes can generate complex geometries from very simple input meshes. In a first step, this paper ... -
Brush Stroke Ordering Techniques for Painterly Rendering
(The Eurographics Association, 2010)Painterly rendering algorithms often mimic classical hand-painting techniques to automatically generate stylized paintings from input images. These algorithms use a combination of techniques to express a variety of styles ... -
Stroke Matching for Paint Dances
(The Eurographics Association, 2010)We have implemented a non-photorealistic rendering system which simulates the placement of paint/pencil/pastel strokes to produce representational artworks from digital images. The system is able to record an image of each ... -
Interactive Volume Illustration Using Intensity Filtering
(The Eurographics Association, 2010)We propose a simple and interactive technique for volume illustration by using the difference between the original intensity values and a low-pass filtered copy. This difference, known as unsharped mask, provides us with ... -
Recursive Scene Graphs for Art and Design
(The Eurographics Association, 2010)Conventional scene graphs use directed acyclic graphs; conventional iterated function systems use infinitely recursive definitions. We investigate scene graphs with recursive cycles for defining graphical scenes. This ... -
Line Drawings vs. Curvature Shading:Scientific Illustration of Range Scanned Artefacts
(The Eurographics Association, 2010)For scientific archaeological illustrations, pen-and-ink drawings are traditionally the most prevalent type. Over the years, drawing styles have substantially changed several times and even today there is basically no ... -
A Robust and Universal Gradient Domain Imaging Solver Using Gradient Variables and Locally Varying Metrics
(The Eurographics Association, 2010)Gradient Domain Imaging (GDI) has gained a high importance and provoked numerous powerful applications over the last decade. It employs a workflow of creating an inconsistent gradient field (GF) from one or more images ... -
Pannini: A New Projection for RenderingWide Angle Perspective Images
(The Eurographics Association, 2010)The widely used rectilinear perspective projection cannot render realistic looking flat views with fields of view much wider than 70°. Yet 18th century artists known as 'view painters' depicted wider architectural ... -
Suggestive Hatching
(The Eurographics Association, 2010)We present a method for drawing lines on an object that depict both the shape and shading of the object. To do so, we construct a gradient field of the diffuse intensity of the surface to guide a set of adaptively spaced ... -
Realtime Aesthetic Image Retargeting
(The Eurographics Association, 2010)Humans have always sought to achieve aesthetics in art. In this paper, we present a novel approach for retargeting images to different aspect ratios while improving the composition aesthetics of the results. A simpler ... -
Interactive Modeling of Muqarnas
(The Eurographics Association, 2011)Muqarnas is a mesmerizing 3D feature of Islamic architecture that exhibit intricate geometry. Such designs are composed of several basic structures combined in successive layers, producing complicated 3D surfaces. In this ... -
EMVIZ: The Poetics of Movement Quality Visualization
(The Eurographics Association, 2011)This paper describes the design of an interactive visualization prototype, called EMVIZ, that generates abstract expressive visual representations of human movement quality. The system produces dynamic visual representations ... -
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. ... -
ColourVis: Exploring Colour Usage in Paintings Over Time
(The Eurographics Association, 2011)The colour palette of painters over history has been of interest to many, including: art historians, archeologists, and art lovers. Colour usage in art changes from culture to culture and season to season and is often ... -
Predicting Stereoscopic Viewing Comfort Using a Coherence-Based Computational Model
(The Eurographics Association, 2011)We introduce a novel computational model for objectively assessing the visual comfort of stereoscopic 3D imagery. Our model integrates research in visual perception with tools from stereo computer vision to quantify the ...
