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 Bridge Project
(The Eurographics Association, 2007)The aim of this project is to visually demonstrate a personal understanding of the evolution of the computer generated "image work" [Mat77], by means of a free associative process that utilises the search and query mechanisms ... -
A Case Study from the Point of View of Aesthetics: A Dialogue Between an Artist and a Computer Scientist
(The Eurographics Association, 2007)Computational Aesthetics draws from both a long history of artistic expression and the possibilities that computational methods can provide. As such, its success depends on a dialogue between the arts world and computer ... -
Celtic Knots Colorization based on Color Harmony Principles
(The Eurographics Association, 2007)This paper proposes two simple and powerful algorithms to automatically paint Celtic knots with aesthetic colors. The shape of the knot is generated from its dual graph as presented in [KC03]. The first technique uses rules ... -
ColorScheme
(The Eurographics Association, 2007)Composed of colors sampled from Hollywood cinema, ColorScheme is a moving spectral painting that reveals how color is used in film to support the themes and mood of the narrative and to subconsciously encourage emotional ... -
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 ... -
Conceptualizing Birkhoff's Aesthetic Measure Using Shannon Entropy and Kolmogorov Complexity
(The Eurographics Association, 2007)In 1928, George D. Birkhoff introduced the Aesthetic Measure, defined as the ratio between order and complexity, and, in 1965, Max Bense analyzed Birkhoff s measure from an information theory point of view. In this paper, ... -
An Efficient Perception-based Adaptive Color to Gray Transformation
(The Eurographics Association, 2007)The visualization of color images in gray scale has high practical and theoretical importance. Neither the existing local, gradient based methods, nor the fast global techniques give a satisfying result. We present a new ... -
Extracting the Essence from Sets of Images
(The Eurographics Association, 2007)We use a set of photographs showing similar scenes as a model for a single photograph this scene. A distance measure for this model is defined by correlating the neigborhoods of pixels in similar positions. A cross analysis ... -
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 ... -
In the Eye of the Beholder - Perception of Indeterminate Art
(The Eurographics Association, 2007)How do we interpret an object - a scene - a painting? Perception research and art illuminate from different angles how the vast amount of information in our visually perceived environment is processed by the viewer to form ... -
Individual Realities: Customizing Aesthetics in Shared Immersive Virtual Environments
(The Eurographics Association, 2007)Immersive virtual reality systems such as CAVEs and head-mounted displays offer a unique shared environment for collaborations unavailable in the real world. Virtual environments not only provide users with novel interaction ... -
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 ... -
Liquid Penetration Modeling for Cloth Dyeing
(The Eurographics Association, 2007)This paper presents a model of cloth dyeing using the characteristics of the thread and weave pattern. The proposed dyeing model is based on Fick s second law that defines the molecular transfer under translational diffusion ... -
Magnetism and Minimal Surfaces -- a Different Tool for Surface Design
(The Eurographics Association, 2007)The design of free form surfaces is usually based on NURBS and it works well to quickly get shapes that a designer intends to create. Such surfaces then have desired properties like given border lines and C1 or C2 continuity ... -
memory [en]code Building a Collective Memory within a Tabletop Installation
(The Eurographics Association, 2007)In this paper, we introduce memory [en]code, a project that evolved through an art+science collaboration. memory [en]code is an interactive tabletop installation that visualizes different concepts of human memory in an ... -
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 Reparameterization of Material Properties
(The Eurographics Association, 2007)The recent increase in both the range and the subtlety of computer graphics techniques has greatly expanded the possibilities for synthesizing images. In many cases, however, the relationship between the parameters of an ... -
A Poetics of Simulation for Audiovisual Performance
(The Eurographics Association, 2007)Audiovisual performance is a fertile area for creative expression, an intersection of experimental cinema and computer music that has seen a groundswell of interest in recent years. To create works in this emerging medium, ...
